Genesee County could front money to nonprofit elder abuse company for payroll
February 08, 2010
The private nonprofit company that runs county Sheriff Robert Pickell's Elder Abuse and Exploitation Prevention program will apparently be fronted money for payroll and other expenses by the county taxpayers.
The county Board of Commissioners has tentatively agreed to provide a two-month cash advance to Integrated Community Services to help the organization make payroll.
Pickell and ICS Executive Director Diane Nims said in a memorandum to commissioners that without the advance, the company is otherwise providing services several weeks in advance of being reimbursed with money from the countywide senior citizen services property tax.
"Because of the (small) size of this organization and due to it having few other funding sources, cash flow for this organization has become critical," the memo from Pickell and Nims said.
Commissioners approved a cash advance of $34,500 to ICS last week during a committee meeting, but members are not scheduled to give the cash advance final approval at their meeting on Feb. 23.
Some commissioners asked Pickell questions about the cash advance but it was approved unanimously in the committee meeting.
