RE: Payback


Good afternoon,

 

So after discussing with Leeanne:

 

1.       A line to line change within the DSS budget is what is requested (not a budget amendment)

2.       The question is, can we use the technology funds that were frozen, but kept as “contingency” funds to cover this expense?

a.       We would like to move funds from this line to the Fees line under Administration if possible, instead of trying to find another line item as there was no Payback budget line.

I hope this explanation is more exact than my previous question.

Thank you.

I would contact Leeanne first. I am not sure if you are saying needing a budget amendment  from the General Fund which would take Board action or moving money within your budget. Thanks, Rick

Subject: Payback

 

Good afternoon,

 

I was just informed that from an audit of the subsidized daycare program, Alexander County has a payback of $1700. This payback is the result of inadequate monitoring of attendance resulting in a payment for a daycare for days when a child was not in attendance. Michael Montagnino has implemented steps to address the need for regular monitoring of all daycares to avoid this situation in the future. My question: Do you approve for DSS to pay for this payback from the contingency fund line?

 

Thank you.
