Title
Renewal agreement with the City of Derby to administer Special Liquor Tax Funds.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the agreement, authorize the Chairman to sign, and authorize the necessary budget authority adjustment.
Background: In 2013, COMCARE began providing Special Liquor Tax Fund administration services to the City of Derby similar to the services provided to the City of Wichita during the preceding 13 years. Services included working with vendors to monitor and refine outcome-based performance measures, developing and executing contracts with vendors and performing the financial management duties associated with the fund.
The proposed renewal agreement is substantially the same as the prior year's agreement but does increase the amount COMCARE will have available to reimburse vendors for the treatment services provided. Much of 2013 was spent identifying and working with the vendor to set up this program, so this will be the first complete year of operation.
Alternatives: Should this agreement not be approved, COMCARE will lose the additional revenue earned through this contract. Additionally, the City of Derby will have to find an alternate vendor to provide these services that may or may not have the experience and expertise that COMCARE offers in these areas.
Financial Considerations: Total payment will be $20,000. $4,500 is the administrative fee for COMCARE, and $15,500 is available for allocation to the vendor for service provision. The funds will be housed in 31061-252 during the term of the agreement (01/01/14-12/31/14).
Budget Authority Adjustment: Authorize the necessary budget authority adjustment in the amount of $20,000 as described in the Financial Considerations section.
Legal Considerations: The authority for this action is K.S.A. 19-101, and a simple majority vote is required.
Policy Considerations: All Sedgwick County policies have been followed in the development of this renewal agreement.
