I. Nature of Request:
The Department is requesting that $156,714.26 be transferred from the Family Assistance Appropriations Account to the State Training Program Account to cover the invoices from calendar year 2015 just received from OCFS / Fulton County DSS.
II. Justification:
The funds are needed to pay for children in Juvenile Detention under OCFS Custody. The additional expense is due to significant rate increases from the State facilities as the number of children in their care has remained somewhat consistent from the prior year’s invoice.
III. Legislative Impact:
Pursuant to Article 2 of the Charter, the Montgomery County Legislature has the power to make appropriations and the County Executive has the authority to sign contracts.
IV. Financial Impact:
The request for transfer will be 100% funded with local dollars and is non-reimbursable by either Federal or State monies as the State already pays for one half of the expense.
