WHEREAS, on the twenty-seventh day of June 2001, and the twenty-eighth day of June 2001, due to an imminent threat of life, property and the environment, including listed species under the federal Endangered Species Act, and as a result of a public gathering of an estimated 20,000 people in a remote area, Bear Valley, Idaho; by virtue of the authority in me, as Governor, by Idaho Code Sections 46-601 and 46-1008, I issued proclamations declaring that states of extreme and disaster emergencies existed for Boise and Valley Counties; and

WHEREAS, tremendous financial obligations and expenses have been and will be incurred by various departments and agencies, and Boise and Valley Counties in responding to and assisting in efforts to deal with the extreme peril to public safety, health, property and the environment; and

WHEREAS, all funds in the Disaster Emergency Account created by Idaho Code Section 46-1005A have or soon will be expended; and

WHEREAS, funds in the Budget Stabilization Fund are available to transfer to the Disaster Emergency Account under the requirements set forth in Idaho Code Section 46-1005A(2)(b); and

WHEREAS, it is my judgment, as Governor of the state of Idaho, that any moneys transferred from the Budget Stabilization Fund up to the limits provided below would not be required to support the current year's appropriation of these funds.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DIRK KEMPTHORNE, Governor of the State of Idaho, by the authority vested in me under the Constitution and laws of this state do hereby order as follows:

1. The state controller is directed to transfer moneys in the Budget Stabilization Fund to the Disaster Emergency Account in such amount and at such times as directed by me or my designee, the Administrator of the Division of Financial Management. In no event shall more than one two hundred thousand (200,000) dollars be transferred from the Budget Stabilization Fund to the Disaster Emergency Account during the current fiscal year.
2. In no event may the revenues made available under this executive order exceed, during any fiscal year, one percent (1%) of the annual appropriation of general account moneys for the fiscal year.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DIRK KEMPTHORNE, Governor of the State of Idaho, by the authority vested in me under the Constitution and laws of this state do hereby order as follows:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of Idaho at the Capitol in Boise on this eighth day of August in the year of our Lord two thousand and one and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred twenty-fifth and of the Statehood of Idaho the one hundred eleventh.
