November 9, 1994 19 C-CAinty SUOJECT: Use of Excess SEIF Revenue Fund for "VISIONS" Project SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Authorize the District Attorney to receive the VISIONS Project grant from the State in the amount of $116,239 ($76,718 Federal, $26,386 State, $13, 135 County-Excess SEIF) to increase Child. Support collections (December 1, 1994 - June 30, 1995) . 2 . Authorize the release of $116,239 from the reserve/designation in the District Attorney's Family Support/Excess SEIF Revenue Fund (FUND 112800) into the fund -balance in Fund 112800, District Attorney Family Support/Excess Revenue. 3 . Approve appropriation and revenue adjustments to support two investigatots for Family Support and to purchase related equipment. FINANCIAL IMPACT: NONE. The total cost of $116,239 will be offset by Federal Funding at $76,718, State Funding (SB 1530) at $26,386 and the District Attorney Family Support/Excess SEIF Revenue Fund at $13, 135 . The Excess SEIF Revenue Fund may be spent only on the child support enforcement program of the District Attorney. Additionally, the Legislature passed Chapter 847, AB 2621, which requires that any funds accrued before June 30, 1992 must be spent by June 30, 1994 . Funds deposited after June 30, 1992 must be spent within two years of receipt of the funds . If the funds are not spent by the County on the Family Support Division by those dates the balance will revert to the STATE General Fund. We anticipate that the "VISIONS" Proposal will generate_ an additional $275, 100 in child support collections. $133,919 of the increased collections will be for AFDC cases which will result in an increase in the County's welfare recoupment. The increase in collections also generates additional Support Enforcement Incentive Fund (SEIF) revenues which 'will more than offset the expenditures from the District Att ey, Family Support Excess SEIF Revenue;Fund.

These funds would afford Counties additional funding for the development of creative and innovative ideas, implementation of new processes in the County, and the opportunity for a greater resource investment in those child support activities which lead to increasing child support collections . The District Attorney, Family Support Division has received State approval on their "VISIONS" Proposal . The proposal is to follow up on last fiscal years "Most Wanted List" project by having investigators in the field for investigations on our self employed non-custodial parents and to begin prosecutions for Failure to Provide and contempt actions which, with the exception of one#case, we have been unable to pursue in the past due to lack of staffing. The one case we did file a Failure to Provide was a-- self employed veterinarian and his arrears were $42,000 . He was convicted and we how have him paying current support and $870/mo. on the arrears . This project will increase service to the public. It will increase collections which will result not only in increased incentives for the Family Support Division, but will also increase the welfare recoupment to the County General Fund. CONSEQUENCES -OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to approve this request would cause the District Attorney's Family Support Division to be unable to make use of the additional State Investment "VISIONS" Funding available for the Child Support Enforcement Program. The additional funds would afford our County the opportunity to develop and implement new processes which would lead to increasing support collections and provide better service to the public. Additionally, the Legislature passed Chapter 847„ AB 2621, which now requires that any money accrued in the Family Support Excess SEIF Revenue Fund before ; June 30, 1992 must be spent by June 30, 1994 . Any money deposited after June 30, 1992 must be spent within two years of receipt of the funds . If the funds are not spent by the County the Family Support Division by those dates the money will revert to the STATE GENERAL FUND.
