Human Services recommending the Board authorize the Chair to sign Budget Transfer 2010057 adjusting the Department's budget as follows:
1) Decreasing estimated revenues and corresponding appropriations by $107,271 in the Department's Fiscal Year 2009-2010 In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority (IHSS PA) in Fund 12, reflecting reductions of $95,326 in Federal/State revenues and $11,945 in County match for this program; and
2) Transferring the $11,945 General Fund match for the reduced IHSS PA allocation to the Department's Fund 11 Community Services Division to cover a shortfall in funds necessary to help offset the impact of revised administrative cost allocations in those programs. (4/5 vote required)
FUNDING: 80% Federal/State In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Allocation with 20% required County General Fund Match.
Body
BUDGET SUMMARY:
Initial 09-10 IHSS PA Budget $393,532
IHSS PA Budget Reduction $ <107,271>
Revised 09-10 IHSS PA Budget $286,261
Change to Net County Cost $0
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: No change to Net County Cost. The IHSS Public Authority allocation is approximately 80% Federal and State. Funds budgeted as required County match for unrealized revenues will help offset a shortfall in funding necessary for administration of the Department's Community Services programs.
Reason for Recommendation:
Human Services develops its annual County budget based on projected Federal and State revenue amounts expected to be allocated for ongoing programs. The Department receives an annual Federal/State In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority (IHSS PA) allocation (Index Code 531520) to facilitate IHSS service delivery to eligible recipients through enrolling and training a care provider pool to match providers and recipients and administer provider payroll and health benefits. The reduction in the FY 09-10 IHSS PA allocation was significantly greater than anticipated.
The Budget Transfer Request adjusts revenues and corresponding appropriations within the Department's Fund 12 In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority (IHSS PA) budget to reflect the actual FY 2009-10 Federal/State allocation. The budget adjustment also includes the transfer of the $11,945 in County funds budgeted as required match for unrealized IHSS PA budgeted revenues to the Department's Fund 11 Community Services programs to address a shortfall in funds related the impact of revised administrative cost allocations associated with senior and low-income program grant administration programs (Index Codes 531010 and 531301). This budget transfer request is consistent with the FY 2009-10 Mid-year Budget Status report presented to the Board on March 2, 2010.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Board Clerk to process the Budget Transfer Request and provide Human Services at Briw Road with a copy of the signed Budget Transer.
