SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE DIRECTOR, SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SIGN STATE
CLAIMS FOR REIMBURSEMENT--AB 1733 FUNDS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(.S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Director, Social Service Department, or his
designee, to sign claims for reimbursement of AB 1733
expenditures.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On January 20, 1987, the Board of Supervisors authorized the
Director, Social Service Department to execute FY 1987/88
contracts with the current AB 1733 contractors. On
September 29, 1987, the Board approved the State Agreement
providing for reimbursement of AB 1733 expenditures.
This year the State Department of Social Services (SDSS)
required that the Grant Agreement be signed by the Chair of the
Board of Supervisors. Recently issued claims procedures
now require that all claims must be signed by the person who
signed the Grant Agreement unless another person has been
designated, in writing, to do so. The State claims process is
complex and largely inflexible. Maintaining a consistent cash
flow depends on the County submitting claims as soon as
possible after each quarter ends. Authorizing the Director,
Social Service Department, or his designee, to sign claims in
lieu of the Board Chair will result in claims being submitted
in the most expeditious manner.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The Social Service Department may not be able to maintain a
consistent cash flow if claims are inadvertently delayed due to
the need to have the Chair of the Board sign them
