Application of the foregoing Bad Debt Write Off Policy shall

IN RE: PROBATE COURT - OAKLAND COUNTY CHILD CARE FUND BUDGET 1993-94
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution,
reports as follows:
1) This Child Care Fund application covers the period October 1, 1993
through September 30, 1994, and is necessary for the County to be eligible for
Child Care Fund reimbursement.
2) The figures provided are estimates based on current available data and
may not reflect the eventual adopted budget and/or expenditures for the
program. Any amendments to the County's budget necessitated by the acceptance
of the 1993-94 Child Care Fund budget will be presented during the 1994/1995
budget process.
3) The application reflects $15,364,187 in gross expenditures and
$2,563,100 in offsetting revenues, with net expenditures estimated at
$12,801,087, an increase of $284,145 or 2.3% above the 1992/93 net
expenditures.
4) Indications by the State are that the 1992/1993 Child Care Fund
expenditure cap will be $8,046,911 (of which the County receives 50%), the same
amount as the 1992/1993 cap.
5) Should the application be approved by the State as submitted, Oakland
County will exceed cap by $4,754,176, resulting in an effective reimbursement
rate of 31.43%, a slight decrease from the 32.10% rate realized for 1992/93.
6) Submittal of this application will not affect the lawsuit regarding the
Child Care Fund cap.
