Baird <br />OMB Director <br />FROM: Leila Miller <br />Budget Analyst, <br />DESCRIPTION OF CONDITIONS <br />Not too long ago, Joyce Johnston, Director of Welfare, successfully <br />obtained a grant from FEMA for the purpose of aiding welfare recipients <br />with certain living expenses. A reading of the grant's notification <br />form seemed to indicate a total award of $56,051, of which $54,952 would. <br />be used for welfare recipients and $1,099 would be applied to <br />administrative costs associated with the program (see March 1, 1988 <br />agenda - Budget Amendment 024). When only $54,952 was received from <br />FEMA rather than the $56,051 expected, Ms. Johnston called the agency <br />and asked them to explain this difference. She learned from them that <br />the total amount of the award was actually $54,952 of which $1,099 was <br />to be used for administrative purposes. As a result of the ambiguous <br />nature of FEMA's notification form, Budget Amendment 024 is overstated <br />by $1,099. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board approve Budget Amendment 029, <br />which corrects Budget Amendment 024 by reducing revenue to the total <br />amount actually received from FEMA. <br />MAR 15 1988 <br />19 <br />BOOK 71 PGE 188 <br />
