(Ref: Contract Amendment #20-009-10)
SPECIFIC RCQUEST(S) OR RECMMENDAT1ON(S) & BACW20UND APD JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County a Contract Amendment ( 20-009-10) with the U.S. Postal .
Service increasing fees for food stamp over-the-counter
issuance transactions effective October 1, 1988.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Food Stamp issuance. costs. are funded 5.0% Federal, 25% State,
and 25% County. Effective October 1, 1988 the County share.
will increase $0. 14 per issuance transaction over the current-
rate. For thepast. several. months the County' s average.
number of issuance transactions. each month has been_
approximately 12, 853 . Thus, the monthly County- share for -
these transaction fees will increase approximately $451.
This increase can be absorbed thr-ough the flexibility built
into food stamp- cost- projections for FY. 88-89.
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 f.ee. to $2. 15 effective
October 1, 1988 . This fee is uniform nationwide.
