FROM
R. E. JORNLIN, DIRECTOR Contra
Social Service Department Costa
DATE
August 31, 1987 County
SUBJECT;
U.S. POSTAL SERVICE; FOOD STAMP ISSUANCE FEE INCREASES
(Ref: Contract Amendment #20-009-9)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of
the County a Contract Amendment ( #20-009-9) with the
U.S. Postal Service increasing fees for food stamp
over-the-counter issuance transactions effective
October 1, 1987 .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Food Stamp issuance costs are funded 50% Federal, 250
State, and 25% County. Effective October 1, 1987 the
County share will increase $0. 11 per issuance transaction
over the current rate. For the past several months the
County' s average number of issuance transactions each
month has been approximately 11,927. Thus, the monthly
County share for these transaction fees will increase
approximately $1,312. This increase can be absorbed
through the flexibility built into food stamp cost
projections for FY 87-88.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The current agreement between the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and the U.S. Postal Service provides for an
annual cost study of food stamp issuance activities so
that transaction fees can be adjusted. Accordingly, the
Postal Service has increased the transaction fee to $2. 01
effective October 1, 1987 . This fee is uniform
nationwide.
