MEMO TO: Sam Gattis, County Manager FROM: Kathy Battern, Acting Finance Director DATE: December 31 , 1980 SUBJECT: Analysis of Chore Service As instructed by the Board of Commissioners, I have reviewed the problem of the Chore Services funding. We are faced with a decrease in anticipated revenue from $153,997 to $126,173. However, there is a two month lag in the reimbursement from the State and the effect of this reduction will occur in the August 1981 receipts. We also had a high rate of expenditures in the first six months of this fiscal year due to anticipation of reasons outlined by Mr. Ward. With the proposed program cutback to an expenditure rate of $14,000 in the remaining months, we will face a $20,153.97 deficit at June 30, 1980. In response to the recommendation that we transfer $20,000 from the Daycare Program, I must advise against that. My research reveals that if this program maintains its present caseload, there will be no surplus. I would also advise against a transfer from the County contingency until we are able to determine the effect of the jail bid opening. I do agree that the $5,000 in unused Personnel cost can be applied to the Chore Service program. I have investigated several alternatives and will be discussing them with Mr. Ward on January 2. These include a matching grant from Department on Aging. I will also encourage a formal request to the State to receive an additional allocation. Last, I would suggest that if all other resources fail , the program be cut back to $11 ,800 a month.
