Auditor presents FY24 cost-allocation plan; county could recover roughly $100,000 for housing DHS office
Summary
Johnson County Auditor's office reported completion of the county’s fiscal year 2024 cost-allocation plan, which will allow the county to claim about $310,000 in indirect costs and seek roughly $100,000 in quarterly reimbursements for housing the local DHS office; the board must authorize a federal certification form to finalize the process.
Julie Persons, Johnson County Auditor, and Deputy Auditor Kyle Mazza told supervisors the county’s central service cost allocation plan for fiscal year 2024 has been completed and filed with the auditor’s office. The plan was prepared by an outside contractor, Cost Advisory Services, and incorporates indirect costs such as building depreciation, utilities and insurance to calculate the county’s overhead.
Mazza said the executive summary included a typographical error and that the correct indirect-cost figure is about $312,800 (the packet had a misprint). He said that figure is in line with the county’s recent years and that, as a result of the plan, the county expects to claim roughly $310,000 in indirect costs and to receive about $100,000 in reimbursements for housing the local Department of Human Services office through quarterly local administrative expense reports.
To complete the reimbursement process, Mazza said the board must authorize the chair to sign the federal certification form stating that the information provided to Cost Advisory Services was accurate and that the plan follows applicable federal standards. Staff indicated the signature will be scheduled on the formal agenda for board action in the coming week.
Supervisors asked whether the plan could be used for juvenile court services; staff said they would check. No formal action was taken during the work session.
