DATE: September 3 1992
SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF DECISION TO MAIL SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 AFDC
WARRANTS IN THE ABSENCE OF A STATE BUDGET
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify the decision of the County Administrator and Auditor-
Controller to proceed with the mailing of the September 1, 1992
AFDC warrants in the absence of a State Budget on the basis of the
Board of Supervisors ' previous decisions to mail similar warrants
during July and August under similar circumstances .
BACKGROUND:
In both July and August, 1992, the Board of Supervisors voted to
agree to mail AFDC and foster care warrants to those who were
entitled to those payments, even though the State Budget had not
been adopted and the, State was not providing its share of the
necessary funds . No such specific decision was made by the Board
regarding the September 1, 1992 payments .
Since the Board was not meeting again before a decision had to be
made about the September 1, 1992 payments, the County Administrator
and Auditor-Controller agreed that, in light of the decisions which
had been made by the Board in July and August and in light of the
likelihood that a State Budget would be approved within days of the
payment of the September 1, 1992 AFDC warrants, it was appropriate
to mail the September 1, 1992 AFDC warrants despite the absence of
a State Budget.
The County Administrator and Auditor-Controller are now requesting
that the Board of Supervisors ratify their decision to mail these
payments in the absence of a State Budget, with the understanding
that a claim will be presented to the State for the interest lost
as a result of the State' s failure to adopt a Budget in a timely
manner.
