SUBJECT: Macias Gini & Company LLP-Contract C ,.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Child Support Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with
Macias Gini & Company, LLP in the amount of$140,000 to provide trust fund reconciliation services for
conversion of child support distributions to the Statewide Distribution Unit for the period January 9, 2006
through April 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The cost of this contract is budgeted within the State's conversion budget allocation to Child Support
Services. There will be no impact on the General Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONSBACKGROUND
The Department of Child Support Services will be converting to a new Statewide Distribution Unit effective
March 1, 2006. The state mandated the trust fund be reconciled within 45-60 days after conversion so the
county's auditor-controller can sign off on the trust fund balance. The contractor will be reconciling the trust
fund in accordance with the guidelines specified by the State Department of Child Support Services.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
DCSS does not have the staff resources to reconcile the trust fund in the required time frame. If the trust fund
is not reconciled,we will be unable to obtain auditor-controller approval as required by the state prior to
forwarding the trust fund balance to the state. This could result in reduced funding and penalties for the
department.
