CPMT reviews CSA finances, hears proposal for $1 million county allotment and PSSF savings
Summary
Tazewell County CPMT reviewed monthly CSA financial reports Oct. 24, 2022, was told a proposed $1 million county allotment for 2023 could stabilize vendor payments, and heard the CSA fiscal assistant say shifting to PSSF could save about $60,000 annually.
Tazewell County’s Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) reviewed monthly fiscal reports and discussed a proposed $1 million county allotment for the 2023 children’s services agency budget at its Oct. 24 meeting.
Shanun Smith, CSA fiscal assistant with the Tazewell County Department of Social Services, presented the TC CSA quarterly materials and monthly reports, explaining discrepancies between those reports and the CSA Continuous Quality Improvement dashboard as likely caused by differing match rates, reimbursement timing, category switches, or LEDRS upload issues. Smith said the county has spent $27,398.77 of $40,739.04 in combined COVID and regular PSSF funds for FY22 into 2023 and estimated that “we have the potential to save an estimated $60,000 each year in CSA funds utilizing PSSF.”
Smith told the group that an additional $1 million county allotment slated for 2023 would be much needed to avoid situations in which vendor checks were held because CSA pool funds had been exhausted the prior year. She provided handouts including a PSSF breakdown for 2022–23, a PSSF quick reference guide and related child-welfare supplemental services information.
After the presentation, CPMT members asked questions about allocations, encumbrances and how monthly figures are reconciled with quarterly CQI reports. By motion of Jeff Brintle, seconded by Shanna Plaster, CPMT approved the September FY2022 and the August financial reports referenced in the packet; the motion passed unanimously.
The CPMT also approved related budget items: the September encumbered WRAP funds (motion by Jeff Brintle, seconded by Melinda Smith) and the September Safe & Stable funds (motion by Shanna Plaster, seconded by David Taylor), each vote recorded as unanimous. The fiscal presentation and approved motions conclude the committee’s routine financial review for the period; staff will continue to reconcile reports and pursue the proposed allotment as the 2023 budget process proceeds.
