ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the approval and authorization of the transfer of funds from the General Non-Departmental and HURF contractual services account to Risk Management Cancer Fund Expense account.  (Monica Castro, Director of Finance)

SUMMARY:

As an element of the State budget process this year, the annual assessment to support the operations of the Department of Revenue (ADOR) was repealed.  Additionally, the legislature established the Municipal Firefighters Cancer Reimbursement Fund (MFCR).  The elimination of the ADOR fees provides a budget to cover the new MFCR assessment. 

The purpose of this fund Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) is to reimburse municipalities for workers' compensation paid to firefighters or fire investigators for a disease caused by outlined cancers and presumed to arise out of employment.

Beginning this year and going forward indefinitely, the MFCR assessment will be billed by the ICA. 

Failure to pay the assessment before the due date will result in the ICA instructing the Treasurer's office to withhold State shared TPT and Share (income tax) until the assessment is paid in full.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE CITY OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS AS STATED ON THE FISCAL IMPACT OF THIS AGENDA ITEM TO COVER THE INVOICE FROM THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION OF ARIZONA AS PRESENTED.
