11. <br />Comotidated Agreement -FY t t <br />For DENR: <br />Page 8 of 19 <br />i. When reporting expenditures for Environmental Health, Childhood Lead, or Food and Lodging, the <br />Department must use the electronic Expenditure Report — prepared and maintained by the <br />Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Health (DENR - <br />DEH). This report shall be submitted monthly in an electronic format as an attachment to an email <br />to designated staff in the DENR Controller's Office and the Division of Environmental Health. <br />NOTE that a new line has been added to reflect the TFE fees expended. <br />j. A "Certification of Expenditures" (for items in "U' above), signed by the health director and <br />finance officer, shall be submitted annually with original Budget Forms (DENR 2948) and shall be <br />kept on file by the State. The "Certification" verifies in writing that total State expenditures <br />reported are valid. Local expenditures are part of the Expenditure report, but are not included in <br />the amount verified in the "Certification." <br />k. Local expenditures for environmental health (105) must be reported on the DHHS Electronic Aid - <br />to- Counties Website on a monthly basis. <br />4. (State/ Federal Revenues only) The Department shall submit a monthly report of actual expenditures <br />(State and/or Federal) to the DHHS Controller's Office in the Electronic Aid -to- Counties Website as <br />referenced in 31 above — all reported in one system, but separated here for clarity of instructions. <br />a. The Department shall submit a monthly Expenditure Report of the pertinent month's actual <br />expenditures for all programs via the Aid -to- Counties Website to the DHHS Controller's Office no <br />later than the dates published annually in November or December for the next calendar year. The <br />schedule reflects a general period of 15 -20 days from the end of the. reporting month for submission <br />of the Aid -to- Counties Website report, based on weekends and holidays, to allow processing time <br />for the payment. Failure to meet the reporting deadline, as published, WILL result in the exclusion <br />of those expenditures in the OSC E- Payment for that month. Early submission may result in earlier <br />payment to the Department. The Department must submit these monthly Expenditure Reports, via <br />the Aid -to- Counties Website, consecutively throughout the agreement period. <br />The health director and the finance officer will approve the monthly Expenditure Report in the <br />Aid -to- Counties Website and the system will alert the staff in the DHHS Controller's Office that <br />expenditures have been approved and certified. The "Certification" verifies that the total State and <br />Federal expenditures reported are valid for the pertinent month's actual expenditures. Local <br />expenditures are part of the Expenditure Report, but are not included in the amount verified in the <br />"Certification." Local appropriations must be reported monthly along with the State and Federal <br />expenditures. <br />b. Departments shall keep expenditure reporting current and submit their certification of expenditures <br />per the published DHHS Controller's Office Schedule. Funding is based on an Allocation Method, <br />not a Contract Method, and counties receive reimbursement for services provided during one month <br />in the following month. Therefore, the last service month to be paid in the SFY will be May <br />services which are reported and paid in June. <br />A department's June, 2010 expenditure report will be paid in July, 2010 and will be paid from a <br />department's funding allocation for SFY 2010 -11. Therefore a department will need to submit <br />all requests for adjustments, corrections, or amendments to expenditure reports for fiscal year <br />09 -10, with the May, 2010 expenditure report. <br />
