RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE relief of cash shortage in the Health Services - Public Health Division in the amount of $348.67.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cash shortage in the amount of $348.67 will be funded with 100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with provisions of Administrative Bulletin 207.7, the Auditor-Controller has verified and concurs with the report of a cash shortage in the amount of $348.67 in the Health Services - Public Health Division.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The shortage resulted from the theft of Target gift cards totaling $348.67 between 1/29/17 - 2/18/17 on the part of a temporary employee hired to support the Tobacco Prevention Program. The Department investigated the incident, cataloged and reported lost assets and filed a report with the Martinez Police Department. Additionally, the Department has worked to strengthen existing controls and protocols for gift cards, including a separation of duties and the development of more stringent tracking mechanisms.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The shortage will not be relieved, cash will not be in balance.
