Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
The requested budget transfer is an accounting adjustment that has no net impact on General Fund Net County Cost.
Background:
OMB A-87 Cost Allocations consist of countywide indirect and administrative costs as calculated by the Auditor-Controller and published each fiscal year as the OMB A-87 Cost Allocation Plan. The A-87 allocations for non-General Fund programs are billed to those departments and recognized as revenue to the General Fund.
Reason for Recommendation:
The FY 2009-10 OMB A-87 billable Cost Allocation for the Health Services Department, Public Health Division (Fund 11 programs), is $779,624. Historically, the total billable amount for Health Services Fund 11 programs has been appropriated in the budget; however, the Adopted Budget for FY 2009-10 was adjusted to exclude the estimated share of A-87 costs for the Emergency Medical Services program ($125,843) because this program is ultimately funded by the General Fund. After further consultation with the Auditor-Controller’s Office, this approach has subsequently been revised and the full amount of OMB A-87 Cost Allocations must be appropriated and charged to Health Services. This budget transfer will allow for the distribution of the EMS share of A-87 costs.
There is no net change to the General Fund.
