SUBJECT: INCREASE IN PETTY CASH FUND AT BAY MUNICIPAL COURT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an increase in authorized amount of petty cash fund at Bay Municipal Court from
$550 to $725, as requested by Court.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The cashiers' daily cash register change fund is taken from the court's petty cash fund.
This fund is currently set at $550 and each of the five cashiers has a total of $40 in
his/her daily cash register change allowance. According to the Court Administrator, this
amount is insufficient for daily cash transactions involving increasingly large fines.
The cashiers frequently run out of change and must leave their window to obtain change
from the Accounting Division. This results in a delay in collecting payments from people
waiting in line. The Court Administrator feels that increasing the petty cash fund by
$175 to a new total of $725 will allow each cashier to increase his/her daily change fund
from $40 to $75. The additional $35 in change per cashier should alleviate the need for
the cashier to obtain additional change. This increase will also bring Bay Municipal
Court into line with the petty cash fund allowances in the other three municipal courts.
