SUBJECT: U.S. POSTAL SERVICE; FOOD STAMP ISSUANCE
FEE INCREASES (Ref: Contract Amendment *20-099-12 )
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)6 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County a Contract Amendment ( 20-009-12) with the U.S. Postal
Service increasing fees for food stamp over-the-counter
issuance transaction effective October 1, 1990 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Food Stamp issuance costs are funded 50% Federal, 25% State,
and 25% County. Effective October 1, 1990 the issuance cost
will increase $0. 09 ,per issuance transaction over the current
rate. The prior year increase was $0 . 13 per transaction.
For ' the past several months the County' s average number of
issuance transactions each month has been approximately
16 ,500 . Thus, the monthly County share for these
transaction fees will increase approximately $1,288
accounting for both growth and rate increases. This cost must
be absorbed as part of a mandated program and fixed sharing
ratio.
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. 37 effective
October 1 , 1990. This fee is uniform nationwide.
