RECOMMENDATION(S):

Direct the Auditor-Controller to reimburse the Employment and Human Service Department’s (EHSD) Revolving Fund in the amount of $55.

FISCAL IMPACT:

70% State funded, 30% County funded.

BACKGROUND:

Welfare & Institutions Code section 16001.9 relates to expenses for foster children and states: “(13) To attend school and participate in extracurricular, cultural, and personal enrichment activities, consistent with the child’s age and developmental level.” EHSD is required to provide these school-related items to children placed in out-of-home care so that foster children are not denied access to items and activities that children who are not in out-of-home care normally receive.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In this instance, staff is asking for reimbursement of a school-related expense through the Revolving Fund’s petty cash account. This type of expense is not currently authorized under the Revolving Fund Board Order that allows for replenishment of the Department’s various petty cash accounts. This type of expense is normally paid through EHSD’s ADM 335 process and charged to the appropriate Children & Family Services funding source.

In order to reimburse the EHSD’s Revolving Fund, Board action is required to direct the Auditor-Controller to issue the funds. Funds are reimbursed through a check payable to EHSD, and these funds should be coded to org 5216 option code L15.
