Since TDH funding primarily supports personnel (and funding is typically constant from year to year) the City's collection of indirect cost allocations would require a substantial transfer of funds from personnel categories, resulting in reductions of staff and services. Based on an indirect cost rate of 23.48%, indirect cost allocations would total 5167,824 00 of anticipated TDH funding for these two projects. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriations ordinance and approval of the fund transfer, funds required for interim financing will be available in the Grants Fund After completion of this transfer, the unreserved, undesignated fund balance will be 533.224,970.00 The Director of Fiscal Services further certifies that upon execution of the WIC and Refugee Health grant contracts, the 5354,171 utilized as interim financing will be transferred back to the unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the General Fund LW a tte or ity ger s Office by: (to) R 51 0 3 1 .
