Approve the necessary personnel actions to add an Accountant I position to the Community Services Department to provide technical support to all contractors and assist the contractors in insuring that they are able to account properly to the County and federal. government for all funds provided to them. 5. Request the County Administrator to take whatever actions are necessary to adjust revenue and appropriation accounts between the Auditor-Controller and Community Services Department to reflect the fact that the termination of pre-audit will result in less revenue to the Auditor-Controller but a corresponding savings in the Community Services Department which will result in making sufficient funds available to fund the Accountant I position. 6. Remove this item as a referral to our Committee, subject to a final report on this subject from our Committee based on our meeting with the Community Services Director on July 24, 1990. BACKGROUND: On May 22, 1990 the Board of Supervisors approved a report from our Committee which established as a matter of Board policy that no agency contracting with the Community Services Department should remain on pre-audit after June 30, 1990. Our Committee has been working closely with the Community Services Department, Auditor-Controller and County Administrator' s Office to insure that the Board's policy is carried out and that any agency with whom we continue to contract is able to maintain proper accounting procedures and audit trail to insure that federal funds are properly accounted for. It has been necessary to extent the deadline one month to insure that all contractors. had in place proper audit procedures or that we were aware of the fact that they were unable to do so. We now believe that it is timely to take all contractors off of the pre-audit in order to. conserve funds in the Community Services Department and strengthen their ability to provide technical assistance to all of their contractors. We are asking that our Committee meet again on July 24, 1990 at 8: 00 A.M.. to make a final review of the ability of the agencies which are currently on pre-audit to remain fiscally accountable if they are taken off of the pre-audit. We anticipate making final recommendations to the Board on the 24th. cc: County Administrator Chief Assistant Administrator Auditor-Controller County Counsel.
