ADOPT Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5030 approving the transfer of funds
in the amount of $1,809,413 from the General Fund Reserve for Audit/Litigation to the
Animal Services Department to repay the State of California for amounts that were
over-remitted to the County due to errors in the formulas to calculate claims submitted
under SB90 used during fiscal years 1998-99 through 2007/08.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended action will result in a General Fund cost of $1,809,413.
BACKGROUND:
The State Controller's Office audited Contra Costa County's Animal Services SB90 claims
for the period of July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2008. The audit disclosed that the State over
remitted $1,809,413 in SB90 revenues to the County Treasurer. This repayment is a result
of changes in the State Controllers Office’s interpretation of the SB-90 reimbursement.
