Use of Excess SEIF Revenue Fund
SMCIFIC REQUEST'(9) OR RECCMMENDATION(S) A BACKWOUNn AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS :
1 . Authorize the release of $18, 000 from the reserve/designation
in the District Attorney' s Family Support/Excess SEIF Revenue
Fund (FUND 112800) in to the fund balance in Fund 11280,
District Attorney Family Support/Excess Revenue.
2 . Approve appropriations and revenue adjustments to use the
released funds to hire (7) temporary staff .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The total cost will be paid out of the District Attorney' s
Family Support Excess SEIF Revenue Fund, a fund which 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.
Expenditures with be offset by Federal Funding at $11,880, which
will be returned to the Excess SEIF Revenue Fund, leaving a net
cost of $6, 120 from the Excess SEIF Revenue Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
All Family Support Divisions are required by the State of
California, Health and Welfare Department of Social Services to
send a letter to custodial parents, on a quarterly basis, detailing
the collections and disbursements applicable o their case.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS February 24, 1993
Use of Excess SEIF Revenue Fund
This requirement is the result of a Federal class action lawsuit
entitled Barnes vs . Anderson. There have been several changes of
requirements and schedules . The Contra Costa County District
Attorney' s Family Support Division will not be able to meet the
Court' s deadline of March 15, 1993 for a variety of reasons, which
are detailed in the attached declaration of Gayle Elaine Graham.
The earliest that we will be able to accurately produce this
information, with all of the required information, is May 1, 1993 .
In order to meet this date we must input 40,000 lines of informa-
tion from 6 months of records . Since we do not have the staff to
input this volume of information we need to hire 7 temporary
keypunch operators to work from 5 p.m. 10 p.m. Monday - Friday from
March 1st through April 30th.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the request to use Excess SEIF Funds to hire
temporary staff would hamper the District Attorney' s Family Support
Division in its attempt to meet the requirements of the State of
California, Health and Welfare Department of Social Services . Such
inability to meet the requirements would cause the State to invoke
W&IC 11475 . 2 and withhold part or all of the state and federal
funds, including incentive funds, from the Family Support Division
until we make a showing of full compliance.
Additionally, the Legislature passed Chapter 847, AB2621, 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 on the Family Support Division by those dates the money will
revert to the STATE GENERAL FUND.
