Appropriation Transfer at End of School Year
By the end of the school year there may be overdrafts in a few appropriation accounts
and in most accounts there are slight balances. Although the budget was originally
prepared to provide sufficient funds in each appropriation account, there are occasions
when expenditures are underestimated. In these instances, appropriation transfers
are necessary since no account may be in the red at the close of the school year.
The Board of Trustees may authorize the County Superintendent of Schools to
make any necessary transfers between the Appropriation for Contingencies
(reserves) and any account classification requiring such transfers so there is no
overdraft in the account. Authorizing the County to perform this function saves
considerable time and effort both on the part of the staff and the Board. In addition,
it avoids the necessity for a last minute Board meeting in order for the Board to
approve such transfers. The above procedure has been followed for a number of
years in the District and is requested by the County Offices.

Revenue Agreement – Los Angeles County Public Health Department for
HAZWOPER Training
This is an agreement between Los Angeles County Public Health Department
(Office in the City of Baldwin Park) and Rio Hondo Community College District –
Environmental Science Department to conduct a total of 10-HAZWOPER training
classes.
HAZWOPER was derived from the United States Department of Defense's
Hazardous Waste Operations (HAZWOP), implemented on military bases which
were slated for clean-up operations to dispose of hazardous wastes. The
HAZWOPER standard covers 5 specific areas of operations:
•
Clean-up operations required by a governmental body;
•
Corrective actions involving clean-up operations at sites covered by the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended
(42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq);
•
Voluntary clean-up operations at sites recognized by Federal, state, local or
other governmental bodies as uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
•
Operations involving hazardous waste that are conducted at treatment,
storage, disposal (TSD) facilities regulated by 40 CFR Parts 264 and 265
pursuant to RCRA; or by agencies under agreement with U.S.E.P.A. to
implement RCRA regulations; and
•
Emergency response operations for releases of, or substantial threats of
releases of, hazardous substances without regard to the location of the
hazard
Los Angeles County Public Health Department will pay up to $23,700 for
HAZWOPER training.

Revenue Agreement – Los Angeles County Public Health Department for
Personal Protective Equipment and Respiratory Protection Training
This is an agreement between Los Angeles County Public Health Department
(Office in the City of Baldwin Park) and Rio Hondo Community College District –
Environmental Science Department to conduct one 16-hour Personal Protective
Equipment and Respiratory training class.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is specialized clothing or equipment worn
by an employee for protection against infectious materials. PPE prevents contact
with an infectious agent or body fluid that may contain an infectious agent, by
creating a barrier between the potential infectious material and the healthcare
worker. Respiratory Protection Training is to ensure that all employees required
to wear respiratory protection as a condition of their employment are protected
from respiratory hazards through the proper use of respirators.
Los Angeles County Public Health Department will pay up to $10,800 for
Personal Protective Equipment and Respiratory training.
