SUBJECT: SHORT DOYLE FUNDING FOR MANY HANDS RECYCLING CENTER
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report and remove this item as a referral to the Finance
Committee.
BACKGROUND:
In July 1990, the issue of no advance payments to Many Hands
Recycling Center was referred to the Finance Committee. This
issue was resolved with Many Hands in July 1990.
The Many Hands contract was changed in fiscal year 1989/90 from a
cost reimbursement contract to a fee for service contract at the
contractor' s request. Under a fee based contract the County pays
a fixed fee for each unit of service which is delivered and pays
only for those service units that are delivered. This change was
consistent with Board of Supervisor' s policy, adopted June 27,
1989, which states that all County departments should determine,
and utilize the type of contract most appropriate and least
cumbersome for each agency.
Also in the action of June 27 , 1989 , the Board adopted a policy
which permits the Health Services Director, with the approval of
the Auditor-Controller, to advance up to 250 of a contractor ' s
payment limit when in their judgement such an advance is
necessary to prevent a severe cash flow problem and when such an
advance is, in their judgement, clearly fiscally prudent. Such
advances are normally used for cost reimbursement contracts or
for start-up costs.

To adhere to the intent of a fee for service contract and
alleviate cash flow problems that may be experienced, the
Auditor-Controller has recommended that contractors . submit
demands on a more frequent basis, such as two times per month
rather than one. This method was used by Many Hands in July 1990
in lieu of an advance payment.
