ENCLOSURES: Resolution
It is recommended that the City Com-
mission approve a Resolution authoriz-
ing payment of $26,297.35 to the South
Florida Employment and Training Consor-
tium (SFE`I'C) for CETA audit disallowances
from 197il 79, per the attached Resolution.
Between 1974 and 1983. the Cit:.y of Pli am i. ope ,,-at r d CETA programs with
funding of o\-er 7:> mi.11i.on dol.la ri7 i7roni the South i7lorida. Employ-
ment and Trai..ni.ng Con;_or-t.i.urn, Aucai.t.;; hm, e ER"Cli 1)C_1YforTmc6 to deter-
mine if C'2 pcndit.ui:cts 71k?.UG in F,,,ith CETA
regulations. resu l tc: d in $3 , 5 89 , 42 2 in questioned
costs. The uca tt_ors included under quc tione'c cnst.s `;:396,554 in
duplicate reimbursements that the City received -and has subsequently
refunded to the Consortium, reducing questioned costs to $3,192,868.
Staff work and documentation submitted by the City cleared all but
$67,687 of the $3,192,868 questioned. The $67,687 have become final
disallowed costs that the City is required to refund to the Consor-
tium. A partial payment of $41,389.65 has already been made per
Resolution 84-169, leaving a balance of $26,297.35. The attached
Resolution authorizes the City Manager to expend that amount from
Special Programs and Accounts/Contingent Fund.
It should be noted that the City's $41,389.65 payment was compensated
by an equal amount the City recently collected from the Consortium
for in -kind contributions the City made to its CETA programs between
1974 and 1977. The City was allowed to retroactively charge the grants
for these services.
The final audit disallowance of $67,687 is less that 1/10 of 1% of
the City's total CETA allocations. This is remarkable because these
programs, which came under very close public scrutiny, were subject
to numerous and complex regulations. Large expenditures were made
and thousands of people were put to work on an urgent basis, often
with little time to prepare administratively. There were no audit
disallowances for the last three years of the program (1980-83).
