SUBJECT: Authorization for Payment of Foster Care Warrants c°srq covK'- �
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. CONSIDER whether to provide the State with an interest-free loan in the amount of $1,334,000
by issuing August AFDC :Foster Care payments despite the failure of the State to transfer the
funds to the County.
2. If the Board decides to provide this loan to the State, AUTHORIZE the County Auditor-Controller
to issue warrants for August AFDC-Foster Care assistance payments regardless of the absence
of the funds for the mandated State and Federal share of the payments.
FISCAL IMPACT
The AFDC-Foster Care payments required for August are estimated to be $2,300,000. The State and
Federal share of this amount is estimated to be $1,334,000.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The State has not yet adopted a budget for Fiscal Year 1992-93. The State Department of Social
Services has refused to transfer any AFDC-Foster Care funds to the County until the State budget is
passed.
If the County fails to advance the funds for the State and Federal share of the AFDC-Foster Care
payments, 2,300 foster children in Contra Costa County will be without the money necessary to pay for
food and shelter during the month of August.
