6. Review of CARPC Resolution 2020-08: Approval of CARPC Preliminary 2021 Budget and Levy Charge

Mr. Steinhoff reviewed the resolution, the preliminary 2021 budget, and a budget scenario showing a 2.5% levy reduction. The preliminary CARPC 2021 budget shows no change to the levy charge from 2020. The 2.5% levy reduction scenario was drafted to be consistent with Dane County Executive’s guidelines. There was discussion regarding the wording of the resolution. Revisions were made to clarify intent. The revised resolution will be shared with Commissioners for possible introduction as a substitute resolution during the CARPC meeting.

7. Discussion of Potential CARPC Roles in Assisting with Filling Commission Vacancies

Chair Palm stated that a strong job description of what a Commissioner does was needed. This job description, along with Commission vacancies, should be placed on the CARPC website. Items on the job description should include time commitment. There was also discussion on the manner in which CARPC would advocate for a Commissioner vacancy and how candidates would be identified and located. The Commission should represent the diversity of the region’s population. Local sanitary districts are involved in advertising for their open positions and then point qualified candidates to the appropriate appointing authorities. CARPC needs to do a better job of getting women and people of color. Commissioners agreed that CARPC should be more proactive and do a better job of describing CARPC’s role in the region.

Exhibit A (Federal Administrative Conditions) applies to the federal award portion of the grant and will be provided as part of that addendum. The Federal Administrative Conditions from 2019 are attached as an example of the expected language.

Options, Analysis, Recommendation: The work to be conducted under the agreement is consistent with the 2020 work program and adds an additional $2,600 in revenue above what was budgeted (an additional $14,000 with the expected amendment). Staff Recommendation: Approve the agreement

CARPC Internal Control Procedures As adopted 7/12/07, and amended 8/23/07, 1/24/08, 11/13/08, 04/14/16, and 02/13/20, and 07/09/20

Throughout this document, if there is no Executive Director (or in the absence of the Executive Director), the Agency Director shall assume all responsibilities of the Executive Director. The Agency Director may designate the Deputy Agency Director to assume any of the Agency Director’s responsibilities. The Deputy Agency Director may assume the Executive Director responsibilities in the event that the Agency Director is unable to assume them. Initialing and dating a document shall constitute approval by the Executive Director. Background The following internal control activities are meant to maintain efficient Commission operations while protecting its assets and ensuring a reliable and accurate accounting of its financial activities. These processes should be monitored and evaluated on a continual basis so that the Commission and its auditors are satisfied that effective internal controls are in place. In addition to pursuing these activities, the Commission understands the importance of establishing a sound control environment, which promotes an ethical and competent workplace in which all employees are encouraged to identify control inefficiencies or weakness and report to management or the Commission Chair. A. Internal Control Activities

1. Whenever possible, Commission staff should involve two or more employees in a single transaction or related transactions in order to provide a “check” on employee activities.

2. All incoming revenue will be in the form of cash or checks, except for payments by the State of Wisconsin, which may be made by ACH deposits directly into CARPC’s checking account.

3. All invoices and pre-printed receipts will be in sequential order, and a hard copy of each will be kept on file.

4. All Commission purchases will be made by check or credit card. Under special circumstances, payment of accounts payable invoices may be made through an online payment system, such as PayPal, with prior approval of the Executive Director.

5. Electronic transfer of funds out of CARPC’s checking account may be made only for payments: (a) of federal and state taxes and invoices; (b) to Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) retirement accounts; (c) of mid-month balances of the CARPC credit card in order to zero out the balances; (d) of fees for payroll processing; (e) to employees’ deferred compensation accounts through Great West Retirement; and (f) of employee payroll. Additional payees may be added to this list with prior approval of the Executive Director.

6. All checks will be printed in sequential order, and all voided checks will be recorded.

7. A third-party accounting firm will be hired to perform the majority of accounting functions, including, without limitation, payment of AP invoices, acting as the liaison between the CARPC and the third-party payroll processing provider, and maintenance of the CARPC’s accounting records. All accounting software will be password protected. The Administrative Services Manager will work closely with the accounting firm to address payroll issues and maintain paid time off hours in the payroll system, pay AP invoices, record AR receipts, prepare monthly accounting reports for review by the Commission/Executive Committee/Chair/Treasurer, and other accounting duties as necessary.

8. A third-party payroll processing provider will be hired to process payrolls; maintain payroll records; and complete and file all necessary reports, payroll taxes, and forms with the corresponding government agencies. The third-party accounting firm will work closely with the

payroll processing provider to ensure payrolls are processed correctly and on time and that all payroll tax documents are filed on time.

9. Petty Cash will not be used. Employees may make minor work-related purchases and submit expense reports and receipts for payment. All expense reports will be approved by the Executive Director.

10. The agency credit card will be in the name of the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission and its Executive Director. Balances will be paid in full each month. All purchases using this card will be approved in advance by the Executive Director. Purchases made with the agency credit card by the Executive Director will be approved by the Commission’s Treasurer. All payments of the agency credit card will be reviewed and approved by the Commission’s Treasurer.

11. The Commission will hire a third-party firm capable of conducting an annual or two-year financial audit in accordance with generally accepted federal auditing standards. This firm shall not be the third-party accounting firm used for daily accounting functions nor the third-party payroll processing provider.

12. The Chair and Treasurer of the CARPC shall routinely review and approve the CARPC bank statement, the entries and balance of the cash account of the general ledger, and the bank account reconciliation prepared by staff, and shall verify the previous month’s ending cash balance. These reviews shall be performed on a monthly basis or prior to each Executive Committee meeting.

13. Accounts Payable Procedures

a. All payments for purchases and invoices shall have prior approval by the Executive Committee unless securing prior approval may incur a late payment penalty. In such cases, the Executive Director or Agency Director may approve payment if such expenditure does not exceed the amount of the corresponding line item of the adopted budget. Those payments which have not had prior approval by the Commission/Executive Committee, such as those made to meet due dates and avoid penalties, will be reviewed by the Commission or the Executive Committee after payment has been made.

b. Once the an AP invoice is received for payment, the Executive Director shall review the invoice along with the accounting code and approve both the payment and the accounting code.

c. After the Executive Director has approved the payment and accounting code, the AP invoice, with its corresponding documentation, will be forwarded to the third-party accounting firm for payment no later than two (2) weeks after receipt by the accounting firm.

d. Every two (2) weeks (at a minimum) the accounting firm shall prepare all AP invoices for payment, which shall include a Check Register of all AP invoices being paid. All checks for payment of AP invoices will reference the invoice or customer number, or other information that will identify the payment being made. The Check Register shall be forwarded to the Executive Director for review and approval. Once approved by the Executive Director, the Check Register shall be sent back to the accounting firm for processing.

e. Each paid invoice will have the following information from the Check Register recorded on it: check number, check date, and amount of the check. In the instances where a check has included the amounts for more than one invoice, the number of invoices being paid shall also be recorded on the invoice.

14. Accounts Receivable Procedures

a. All AR payments received shall be date stamped with the date received and logged into the Accounts Receivable spreadsheet with a receipt number assigned to each payment. Receipt numbers shall be in sequential order.

CARPC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AGENDA COVER SHEET July 6, 2020 Item 6 Re: Discussion of Dane County Retirement Enhancement Program

Requested Action: For discussion purposes only

Background:

As part of County Executive Parisi’s proposed 2020 budget, he included a retirement enhancement program (REP) for County employees (see the attachment). In the email from Greg Brockmeyer to Dane County employees on September 30, 2019, he wrote: The benefits under the REP are to assist retirees with medical costs. For employees with ten years of verified service, but less than twenty years of service, the county will provide the retiree with five annual payments of $5,000 each. For employees with twenty years of verified service or more, the county will provide the retiree with ten annual payments of $5,000 each.

Options, Analysis, Recommendation:

County staff indicated that the REP was developed through union negotiations. The program was developed to ensure that employees who are not able to accumulate significant sick hours (e.g. catastrophic illness, family leaves) are still able to receive supplemental health coverage. Currently there are two known future CARPC retirees: the Administrative Services Manager (ASM), who will have a total of six years of service at the time of her retirement in January 2021 so she would not be affected by this program unless the CARPC policy reduces the years of service, and the Agency Director, who plans to retire approximately November 2023. At the time of the Agency Director’s retirement, he will have 13 years of service with CARPC, so he would be eligible for five annual payments of $5,000 per year for five years if CARPC adopts a policy with terms similar to Dane County’s policy. There are no anticipated additional retirements within this five year period. Options: 1. The Commission adopts a policy with terms similar to Dane County’s policy. 2. Modify Dane County’s policy by:

a. Changing the required length of service; and/or b. Changing the amount of money paid to retirees; and/or c. Changing the length of time payments are made to retirees.

3. The Commission does not adopt an REP. Considerations: 1. Compared to Dane County, CARPC has about one retirement every five years compared to the

County with approximately 100 retirements per year 2. All of CARPC retirees are the equivalent of County M Class (professional, salaried, exempt) while

Dane County also has hourly employees who retire 3. CARPC employees who retire with 10 or more years have generally advanced to a pay rate at the

higher end of the pay scale and have accumulated significant number of sick days 4. The budget impact of adopting a REP would be relatively small because CARPC experiences

only about a retirement every five years or so, although in times of tight budgets all extra expenses can be impactful

5. CARPC has generally made a practice of following County pay, benefit and personnel policies Staff does not have a recommendation. Page 025

Phone: (608) 266-4941 Fax: (608) 266-4425 TTY WI Relay 711

Date: September 30, 2019 To: All County Employees From: Greg Brockmeyer Director of Administration Subject: Dane County Retirement Enhancement Program (REP)

The Retirement Enhancement Program (REP) is designed to assist county retirees with medical costs in retirement. Medical costs include premiums for insurance, copays, deductibles and out-of-pocket medical expenses. The program applies to county employees who retire on or after January 1, 2020.

Benefit:

The benefits under the REP are to assist retirees with medical costs. For employees with ten years of verified service, but less than twenty years of service, the county will provide the retiree with five annual payments of $5,000 each. For employees with twenty years of verified service or more, the county will provide the retiree with ten annual payments of $5,000 each.

The first payment will be deposited to the retiree’s account after the county has been notified by the Employee Trust Funds that the employee has initiated their retirement annuity with WRS, the employee has met with Precision Retirement and the employee has terminated service with the county. The second and subsequent payments under the program will be deposited during the month of January of each subsequent calendar year until the five or ten payments have been made.

If an active employee dies before retirement, no payments will be made. If a retiree dies, a lump sum of the value of remaining payments due will be transferred to the retiree’s account for use by their surviving spouse or dependents, if any. If there is no surviving spouse or dependents, then no further payments will be made after the retiree’s death.

Service Requirement:

To be eligible, employees must have a minimum of ten years of verified service with the county in a full or part-time permanent position. Elected officials must have a minimum of ten years of verified combined service as an employee or one or more of the elected officials listed below. The term of service does include military service

Page 027

Page 28: AGENDA of the Executive Committee of the Capital Area ...€¦ · Mr. Steinhoff reviewed the resolution, the preliminary 2021 budget, and a budget scenario showing a 2.5% levy reduction

Page 2 of 2

earned while a county employee, absences under Family Medical Leave, periods of disability, handbook or county ordinance leave, worker’s compensation, or layoff status so long as the employee has not terminated employment.

Eligible Employees:

Eligible employees include regular full and part-time employees as well as the following elected officials: County Board Chair, County Clerk, Clerk of Courts, Sheriff, County Executive, County Treasurer, Register of Deeds. To be eligible, the employee or elected official must retire from county service and must collect an annuity under the Wisconsin Retirement System within 60 days of retirement.

Accounts:

Employees with leave balances go through the Prime Choice program to determine how their leave balances will be applied in retirement. Those retirees who are directed to the Medical Trust program have an account established with the third party administrator into which the county deposits funds related to their leave balances. Funds in this account are used by the retiree for medical expenses. The payments under the REP will be made into the retiree’s Medical Trust Account in addition to any scheduled deposits from converted leave balances.

If the retiree is directed to the Special Pay Plan or has no leave balances to convert, then they will also have a Medical Trust Account established with the third party administrator specifically to receive the payments under the REP.

Retirees receive tax-free reimbursement from the third party administrator for qualified medical expenses. Reimbursements can be for one-time expenses, or the retiree can establish recurring reimbursements for recurring expenses such as monthly premiums.

Funds from the REP benefit are available to the retiree as soon as they are deposited. Funds not needed in a calendar year remain in the retiree’s individual account for future use.

Background: CARPC internal controls require that bills be approved by CARPC or its Executive Committee and also that the Treasurer routinely review the CARPC bank statement, the entries and balance of the cash account of the general ledger, the bank account reconciliation prepared by staff, and the previous month’s ending cash balance. This review by the Treasurer is regularly confirmed by his or her signature on the Treasurer’s Report, or by the Chair in the absence of a Treasurer, per the terms of CARPC’s bylaws.

CARPC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AGENDA COVER SHEET July 6, 2020 Item 8 Re: Discussion of Potential Additional Branding Services

Requested Action: Discussion

Background: CARPC contracted with Distillery for branding services in conjunction with their work for the MPO. Their deliverables, which are nearing completion, are a logo and a branding guidebook with a range of visual elements that can be used for materials such as documents and reports.

Staff Comments: Response from CARPC and MPO staff and commission/board members to Distillery products for the agencies has been positive. Based on this positive response staff explored what additional branding and design services might further enhance CARPC’s communications. Staff discussed with Distillery a range of options. The attached “rollout proposal” from Distillery responded to those discussions. Staff identified assistance with website design and report templates as the most valuable among the options. A PowerPoint template could also be helpful, particularly for presentations to stakeholders and the public. This item is presented for discussion purposes to help determine whether to further pursue such services.

Materials Presented on Item:

1. CARPC Branding Rollout Proposal

Staff Contact:

Steve Steinhoff Agency Director 608-474-6010 [email protected]

Next Steps: Potentially prepare agreement for additional services from Distillery for consideration.
