Preparation of this plan <br />qualifies the County to receive reimbursement for local resources used to administer certain <br />State and Federally funded programs. In addition, the Cost Allocation Plan is a tool used by <br />staff in developing the full cost of providing certain services. MAXIMUS, formally David M. <br />Griffith and Associates, has provided this service to the County for many years with little or no <br />increases in cost. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the contract for the 2002 Cost Allocation Plan is $9,200. <br />Funds to pay for the current year are budgeted in Central Services. Reimbursements from the <br />State and Federal governments resulting from the Cost Allocation Plan have been in excess of <br />$300,000 annually over the past several years. <br />RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract with <br />MAXIMUS and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
