DATE: NOVEMBER 11, 1992 Inter -Com
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RONALD A. NAULT, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: MANDATED COST REIMBURSEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
DISCUSSION:
Each year the State sends every governmental agency and special
districts a complete package of information, including claim forms
for State mandated programs eligible for reimbursement. During
fiscal 1991/92 there were a total of sixty one programs of which
thirty nine had appropriations totaling $78 million. Staff reviews
the list and distributes the claim forms and a summary of the
information needed to the appropriate department but only for those
programs that have appropriations.
The most recent claims we have made and the amount of reimbursement
received follows:
1. Investment Reporting $78,000
2. Business License Tax Reporting 6 500
3. Absentia Ballots '
3,700
4. Marijuana Records Destruction 534
$88,734
Regarding the Open Meetings Act Mandate, we discussed this with the
Chief Deputy City Clerk and determined that we really have not
incurred additional costs. Apparently we have been posting the
notices in accordance with the 1986 Statutes -long before they were
mandated. Any reimbursement we would expect to receive was
determined to be immaterial.
We monitor the State programs peach year and apply for those
mandates for which we have the appropriate data and usually pass on
those for which the cost to collect the data significantly exceeds
the potential reimbursement.
