Home Browse Search

DIVISIONS WITH DIRECT EXPENSES In 2024, KCPHD had 52 active programs with total expenditures of $2,909,322.83. Of that amount, $13,743.22 was related to excludable costs, which were passed through to Community Health of Central Washington for their professional services in the Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs program. Direct costs included $1,562,370.22 related to salaries. The final $1,333,219.27 was considered to be allowable direct costs. These allowable costs may include, but are not limited to: • Operating supplies that were necessary to meet the deliverables of the contracts; • Professional services as prescribed by OMB Uniform Grant Guidance, page 110, §200.459. These services were provided by individuals that possess skills not available within the department and the services were necessary to carry out the scope of the contract; • Advertising communicating specific activities or accomplishments as part of the outreach effort for grant deliverables (OMB Uniform Grant Guidance, §200.421); • Equipment purchases that did not meet the county’s threshold of a $5,000 minimum to be considered capital equipment. RATE RECOMMENDATION In order to account for a margin of error in the calculation of the department’s indirect cost rate, it is recommended by the department’s Accountant to adopt a rate of 20%. This recommendation is a 10 percent increase from the 2025 rate indirect rate.
