In addition, the Cost Allocation Plan is a tool <br />used by staff in developing the full cost of providing certain services. DMG-MAXIMUS, <br />formally David M. Griffith and Associates, has provided this service to the County for many <br />years with little or no increases in cost. The attached contract covers athree-year period <br />in which the costs remain unchanged. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the contract is $9,000 annually for athree-year period. <br />Funds to pay for the current year are budgeted in Central Services. Reimbursements from <br />the State and Federal governments resulting from the Cost Allocation Plan have been <br />between $200,000 and $250,000 annually over the past several years. <br />RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract <br />with DMG•MAXIMUS and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
