the
bill
relates
to
the
manner
in
which

20
The

Instead,

7
Division
IV
of
the
bill
specifies
certain
requirements

The

balances
in
certain
10
specified
funds
for
a

year
in
excess
of
25
percent
11
of

13
Under
the
bill,
counties
and
cities
are
encouraged,
but
14
not
required,
to
reduce
budgeted,
unreserved,

undesignated
15
ending
fund
balances
for
the

year
to
an
amount
equal

16
approximately

certain
17
transfers
for
that
budget
year
unless
a

18
by

state
appeal
board
ordering
a
reduction
in
the
ending
19
fund
balance
of
any

funds.
The
county
or
city,
20
as

has
the
burden
of

balances
in

of
25

to
be

2012,
reduced
their
27
actual
ending
fund
balance
to
less
than
25
percent
of
actual
28
expenditures.
Such
additional
property
tax
dollars
authorized
29
but
not
levied
may
be
carried
forward
as
unused
ending
30
fund
balance
taxing
authority
until

31
beginning
July

2018.
However,
the

shall
not
exceed

of
property
33
tax
dollars
available

The
