Additional analysis is being performed by impacted Departments. The Auditor-Controller is in the process of determining the impact of delays in payments on the County's cash flow situation. In many cases payment for July services is normally received 45-days after the services is rendered (i.e., payment is expected to be received in mid-September 2003). Assuming the State passes a budget in the next 30 to 60 days, the impact of the delay in cash payments is likely to be minimal.
