BACKGROUND
This division was created in fiscal year 2018-19 upon the sunset of Measure A and acts as a non-operating special revenue fund which restricts the funds for the specific purpose of the Napa City and Vicinity Flood Project Maintenance. This Subdivision currently has a fund balance of approximately $13.5 million, and funds are drawn upon as reimbursements are received within Subdivision 8001000 Flood District - Flood Project; in accordance with Amendment No. 1 of the Joint Powers Agreement, for the purpose of operations and maintenance of the Napa Flood Project.
During this fiscal year, the Flood Control District experienced higher-than-anticipated expenses due to several unforeseen maintenance issues. These included sediment removal, downed trees, and erosion control measures that became necessary following severe weather events. The increase in expenses for the District’s maintenance fund was largely unforeseen, driven by the unexpected severity of recent storms.
The original budgeted amount for Flood Project Maintenance - Measure A is $645,963.

a. Increase revenue in the amount of $125,000 for Intrafund Transfers-In within Flood Project Fund (Subdivision 8001000, Account 49900) and;
b. Increase appropriations in the amount of $125,000 for Intrafund Transfers-Out within Flood Projects-Measure A Fund (Subdivision 8001200, Account 57900) offset by the use of fund balance.
