Kittitas County
Board of County Commissioners
Agenda Staff Report
Agenda Date: April 18, 2017
Action Requested: Request to have the Chairman sign the Amendment to County Program
Agreement–Long Term Payable Agreement (DSHS Agreement # 1763-88849)
Background: The County currently has an agreement with DSHS for funds held in advance for the
Developmental Disability and Substance Abuse Programs. The amount currently on
hand is $59,564.00 for Developmental Disabilities (DD) and $32,580.00 for
Substance Abuse (SA). On April 1, 2017, the County Auditor sent in a Contract
Period Analysis to DSHS for the advance funds to determine if the need is still
present and to verify the funds are still available. These advance funds are to
alleviate the cash flow problems associated with the time lag between payment by
the County for services and reimbursement from DSHS. This agreement date is
from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. We are in the process of returning the
Substance Abuse portion as we no longer have a need for those advance funds.
Based upon their review, they have moved the SA funds to the DD account, but
waiting for confirmation. We can receive a bigger advance, than what we already
have for the DD program but I do not see the need as reimbursement has been
within three weeks.
Recommendation: Request the Chairman sign the contract 1763-88849 County Program Agreement
Long-Term Payable Agreement with DSHS.
