Signature CHIEF ACCOUNTING_,OFFICER Title °� ' '-M--f `7__. 1973 Date _ Page 2 WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ^. HARRY S. ASHLEY GLENN K. BILLINGS ROY MOSER PLAN NARRATIVE The Weld County Consolidated Cost Allocation Plan includes the allowable costs of services provided to grantee and central service departments. It is prepared ▪ in accordance with guidelines described in BOB (U.S. Office of Management and Budget) Circular A-87 and "Guide for Local Government Agencies Establishing Cost Allocation Plans and Indirect Cost Rates for Grants and Contracts with Department of Health, ▪ Education and Welfare" , OASC 8. The plan first allocates otherwise allowable charges which were-specifically ▪ incurred and paid for by the grantee department (Department of Social Services) , but which were not reimbursed as direct program costs by the State Agency (Colorado De- partment of Social Services) . This category also includes interdepartmental services .. billed to and paid for by benefiting departments. These allocations are shown in Sche- dule 1. _ The plan then allocates allowable costs of central services provided to functions responsible for accomplishing federally assisted programs and grants. Central service costs distributed in this plan are: . County Attorney . 'Finance Department . Data Processing . Clerk to the Board • . County Treasurer . District Attorney . Buildings and Grounds . Communications . Equipment Use Charge r. . Insurance and Bonds . Retirement Fund Administration "' The above cost allocations are shown in Schedules 2-12. Each schedule provides the following information: ., . Service description and cost allocation basis(es) . The allocation of allowable costs to grantee and central service areas . The expenses included in the allowable costs plus costs allocated from other service areas Only the costs of those central services which could be identified as bene- fiting the grantee department were allocated in the plan. In certain situations costs are allocated reciprocally among central service areas. Thus there are residual amounts which remain to be reallocated at the end. .. These costs are shown in Schedule 13 which reallocates them to the grantee depart- ment based on previously established allocation percentages. .. All amounts are rounded to the nearest ten dollars and percentages to the nearest one hundredth. .- Page 3 WELD COUNTY , COLORADO ..

I further certify that procedures were utilized (a) to prevent costs from being allocated to federal programs as indirect costs that have already been treated as direct program costs, (b) to assure that consistent treatment was accorded similar costs , for all programs in the Department/Agency, regardless of source of funds and (c) to assure that costs have not been treated as indirect costs of Federal programs inconsistent with statutory restrictions governing those programs Signature Title Z 1973 Date Om _ Page 39 WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HARRY S.ASHLEY GLENN K. BILLINGS ROY MOSER PROPOSAL NARRATIVE In Weld County, the Department of Social Services is the only substantial federal program grantee. The indirect cost rate is based on budgeted allowable direct ., costs of the department, and on service costs allocated to the department in the Consolidated Cost Allocation Plan (Section A, B and C) . Included in this proposal is the amount received by the Department of Social Services under grant programs and r- computation of the indirect cost rate. The indirect cost rate proposal is prepared in accordance with guidelines provided in HEW Manual OASC 8. Specifically, Exhibit D, the simplified method is followed. There are three sections comprising the Indirect Cost Rate Computation (Exhibit B) . The first section titled "Social Service Department Program Costs" , shows • the total amount budgeted for the year ended December 31 , 1973 , for each of the various programs. Capital items are shown as nonallowable. Remaining allowable costs are classified as indirect or for all other purposes. Indirect costs apply only to adminis- ▪ tration and comprise those costs included in the Social Services budget but not reim- bursed as direct program costs by the State (see Schedule 1 , Consolidated Cost Allocation Plan) . The second section, " Central Services" , includes those costs not readily identifiable with specific programs, but incurred by Weld County central service departments providing service to the Social Services Department federal grant programs taken as a whole. .. The last section is the computation of the indirect cost rate.
