DATE: April 9, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Kimberly Nursing Registry Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify purchase of services from Kimberly Nursing Registry Services for the period
7/1/83 to 6/30/84 and authorize County Auditor-Controller to pay $17,684 outstanding
balance for said services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The amount of $17,684 has been included in the 1984-85 Fiscal Year expenditure projections
for the Hospital Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
At the request of County Medical Services, the County Purchasing Agent executed a
blanket purchase order for temporary nursing services between July 1 , 1983 and June 30,
1984 from Kimberly Nursing Registry Services, a temporary help contractor. The payment
limit was $16,250. Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limits and
by the end of April , 1984 charges of $47,034 had been incurred, of which $29,350 had been
paid .and $17,684 remains outstanding.
The nursing services were both requested by County staff and provided by Kimberly Nursing
in good faith. Use of such registry services has been a normal practice during the
period under discussion. Because of administrative oversight by both the County and
Kimberly Nursing, use of the nursing service exceeded the authorized limits.
The Health Services Department has requested that the amount due Kimberly Nursing
Registry Service be paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying
the actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of nursing services of a
value in excess of the purchase order's payment limit. This will create a valid
obligation on the part of the County retroactively authorizing all payments made by
the Auditor-Controller up to now, and authorizing payment of the balance.
Funding for these payments was considered by Health Services and is included in the
current budget.
