Eoo iii = 410 19 MEMORANDUM TO WILLIAM COWAN March 23, 1992 Page Two CURRENT PROGRAM COSTS The JOBS Program has three cost centers with respect to transportation: (1) the CCCC contract; (2) mileage reimbursements; and (3) transportation payments to day care operators. Year-to-date costs (through 2/29/92), as reported by DSS, in each of these three centers are as follows: • CCCC Contract - $6,600.00 Mileage Reimbursements - $5,756.00 Day Care - $6,444.00 Please note that we believe the CCCC contract through eight months should be $6,400, based on the current contractual arrangement. Based on an anticipated 240 day program year, total JOBS program cost, excluding day care, could be as high as $46,560 per year under current payment arrangements. It is clear, however, that DSS is not reimbursing clients at the rate schedule indicated; at full participation, daily costs are $190 per day. Given the expense history (year-to-date), this accounts for only 37 program days). Thus, not all clients have been enrolled since July 1, or not all clients participate every day. This is consistent with observations made by DSS staff, who indicated that JOBS mileage reimbursements averaged about $1,100 to $1,200 per month during FY 1991-92, about 1 /3 of the rate if all clients participated all year. CGA would also note that based on the most recent four (4) months of reported data (November 1991 through February 1992), CCCC has spent $5,900.63 on JOBS transportation, an average of $1,475.16 per month. In essence, CCCC has provided a $675 per month subsidy to DSS. INCLUSION OF ALL JOBS CLIENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED SYSTEM Current Proposal Under the initial plans developed for the consolidated transportation system, it was proposed that the status quo be maintained. DSS would purchase transportation from the system for 26 clients, who would be provided van/bus service along two (2) routes. Unlike the current service, the two routes would arrive at CCCC at 7:50 AM so that clients could attend classes that begin at 8:00 AM.
