County Attorney's billing breakdown

 08-07-23

We currently pay our county attorneys for their time to help us with Child Support, Fraud/FPI, Social Services adult/child, and contracts.  They send us a detailed tracking of what case they worked on by the quarter hour, under each of these categories.  Does anyone know if they need to track it in such detail?  As you can imagine, it takes them quite a bit of time to track this for us.  Would they be allowed to send summary invoices under each of these categories using percentages or estimates?

 

Thank you,

LHPA Funds Question

 08-07-23

How are the other counties spending their LHPA funds?  Are you contracting it out?  Going with a big idea?  Or a bunch of small purchases?  (examples of each)

 

How are other counties spending their MA Renewal money?  Just OT for current staff?  How are you tracking it for reporting?

 NOTE FROM JULIE - To clarify, this is money from the Minnesota Department of Revenue, and is Local Homeless Prevention Aid (LHPA).

Thank you,
