County's cost allocation plan sets indirect rate at 20.24%; forensic audit resolution to be read at next meeting
Summary
County staff presented the annual cost allocation plan that would set an indirect rate of 20.24% for grant purposes, and discussed a resolution authorizing a forensic audit of timekeeping practices in the sheriff's office with a proposed Sept. 1 effective date to allow Internal Affairs time to complete an investigation.
A county staff presenter reviewed the annual cost allocation plan and told commissioners the plan sets the county's indirect rate for grant applications at 20.24% for the current year, allowing the county to claim actual indirect costs rather than the federal 10% de minimis rate.
"This year, that rate would be set at 20.24%," the presenter said. He said he will bring an updated jail daily rate later in the year using the new indirect-rate calculation.
Separately, the presenter explained commissioners had asked staff to draft a resolution authorizing a forensic audit of timekeeping practices at the sheriff's office to address specific issues, including recouping falsely recorded unworked hours. He said the language in the draft resolution was targeted and proposed an effective date of Sept. 1 to allow Internal Affairs time to finish an ongoing investigation.
"It has sort of an effective date of September 1 for that allowing some time for the Internal Affairs," he said. Commissioners agreed to have the resolution read at the following meeting and did not vote on the resolution at this session.
