WHEREAS, tremendous financial obligations and expenses have been incurred by various departments, agencies, and Valley County 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 Section 46-1005A, Idaho Code have or soon will be expended; and

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

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

1. The State Controller is directed to transfer moneys in the General 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 hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000) be transferred from the General 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 the General Account moneys for the fiscal year.

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 twenty-fourth day of November in the year of our Lord two thousand and three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred twenty-seventh and of the Statehood of Idaho the one hundred thirteenth.
