portion of the $5,638,500 General Fund (001) reserves set aside for unfunded capital
requirements will be transferred to Emergency Medical Services Fund (490).
For FY 09, it is estimated that the transport fee revenue decline will continue, creating an
anticipated 5hortfall of $2,538,000. Turn back of excess fees from the Constitutional Officers
from FY07 exceeded budgeted turn back by $7,240,592. These excess fees will be appropriated
and $2,538,000 of that appropriation will be transferred to Emergency Medical Services Fund
490 to offset the anticipated FY 09 transport fee revenue shortfall.
