Num Type Change Amount Execution Date Effective Date End Date Description
#1(Jul.)Amendment$0.0007/26/201607/26/201606/30/2017We are not transferring money from any line item, merely requesting to use existing funds from the Travel Budget (line # 73) for a conference not proposed in our grant narrative. Our program is not a member of CSUSA, nor have we ever attended their annual conference. Our Executive Board has reviewed requests to join CSUSA and attend the conference. They have reviewed the training schedule and feel that the various breakout sessions and training will provide our program with Best Practices, as well as allow us to network and make an informed decision regarding CSUSA Membership in the future. We request $475.00 from our Travel Budget to pay for the CSUSA Conference fee. All other travel expenses will be paid from our discretionary fund. This is a justifiable expense as CSUSA is the national organization and their conference will provide significant and relevant best practices training to help our program grow and improve. This proposal is also a bargain since the bulk of travel expenses will be paid from our discretionary fund. we will be able to absorb the $475.00 cost by send 1 less person to one of the scheduled FACS meetings this grant year. We plan and budget to send 2 people to all 3 FACS meetings, so we can still comply by only sending 1 person to one the meeting.
#4 (Oct)Amendment$0.0010/05/201610/05/201606/30/2017Moving funds from line item #51 PO Box Rental, #68 B and O Liability and 71 Gen Liability to line item #56 Laptop. Moving these funds allows us to comply with OAG reporting requirements.

#7(Jan)Amendment$0.0001/19/201701/19/201706/30/2017We are on a limited budget and seeded our public awareness ads with our media partners for the first half of the year. We have been fortunate that good financial management and strategically partnering with the DeSoto Mail to reduce our community events expenses has allowed us to move $750 of surplus funds from our line #38 Community Events to line #13 Newspapers, this enabling us to renew promotional ads in community publications. This transfer is justified because it allows us to continue promoting our program and educating the public about Crime Stoppers, this sustaining our exposure to the community.
#10(Apr)Amendment$0.0004/27/201704/27/201706/30/2017Transfer $266.90 into line item 24 (Banners) from the following line items: #3 Answering Service $151.90 + #5 (Tip Software) $20 + #13 (Newspapers) $95 =Total of $266.90 for#24 Banners.

Our justification is that these line items have remaining surplus funds that can be diverted to supporting a community event with Law Enforcement Leaders by providing Promotional Banners and Chairs/Tables for attendees.
#11(May)Amendment$0.0006/06/201706/06/201706/30/2017TOTAL Transfers from unexpended funds in the Rewards Category and the Operations Category for a total of $2,637.23.
