Title: /%J.ff~
ATTACHMENT A
EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS
This document is intended to provide basic guidelines to Human Service Organizations, county travelers,
and contractual parties who have reimbursable expenses associated with Monroe County business.
These guidelines, as they relate to travel, are from Florida Statute 112.061.
A cover letter summarizing the major line items on the reimbursable expense request needs
to also contain a notarized certified statement such as:
"I certify that the attached expenses are accurate and in agreement with the records
of this organization. Furthermore, these expenses are in compliance with this organization's
contract with the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners."
Invoices should be billed to the contracting agency. Third party payments will not be
considered for reimbursement. Remember, the expense should be paid prior to requesting a
reimbursement.
Only current charges will be considered, no previous balances.
Reimbursement requests will be monitored in accordance with the level of detail in the
contract. This document should not be considered all-inclusive. The Clerk's Finance
Department reserves the right to review reimbursement requests on an individual basis.
Any questions regarding these guidelines should be directed to 305-292-3534.
Data Processing, PC Time, etc.
The vendor invoice is required for reimbursement. Inter-company allocations are not
considered reimbursable expenditures unless appropriate payroll journals for the charging
department are attached and certified.
Payroll
A certified statement verifying the accuracy and authenticity of the payroll expense is
needed. If a Payroll Journal is provided, it should include: dates, employee name, salary or
hourly rate, total hours worked, withholding information and payroll taxes, check number
and check amount. If a Payroll Journal is not provided, the following information must be
provided: check amount, check number, date, payee, support for applicable payroll taxes.
Postage, Overnight Deliveries, Courier, etc.
A log of all postage expenses as they relate to the County contract is required for
reimbursement. For overnight or express deliveries, the vendor invoice must be included.
Rents, Leases, etc.
A copy of the rental or lease agreement is required. Deposits and advance payments are
not allowable expenses.
Reproductions, Copies, etc.
A log of copy expenses as they relate to the County contract is required for reimbursement.
The log must define the date, number of copies made, source document, purpose, and
recipient. A reasonable fee for copy expenses will be allowable. For vendor services, the
vendor invoice and a sample of the finished product are required.

For supplies or services ordered, a vendor invoice is required.

Credit card statements are not acceptable documentation for reimbursement. If attending a
conference or meeting a copy of the agenda is needed. Airfare reimbursement requires the
original passenger receipt portion of the airline ticket. A travel itinerary is appreciated to
facilitate the audit trail. Auto rental reimbursement requires the vendor invoice. Fuel
purchases should be documented with paid receipts. Taxis are not reimbursed if taken to
arrive at a departure point: for example, taking a taxi from one's residence to the airport for
a business trip is not reimbursable. Parking is considered a reimbursable travel expense at
the destination. Airport parking during a business trip is not.
A detailed list of charges is required on the lodging invoice. Balance due must be zero.
Room must be registered and paid for by traveler. The County will only reimburse the
actual room and related bed tax. Room service, movies, and personal telephone calls are
not allowable expenses.
Meal reimbursement is: breakfast at $3.00, lunch at $6.00, and dinner at $12.00. Meal
guidelines state that travel must begin prior to 6 a.m. for breakfast reimbursement, before
noon and end after 2 p.m. for lunch reimbursement, and before 6 p.m. and end after 8 p.m.
for dinner reimbursement.
Mileage reimbursement is calculated at .29 cents per mile for personal auto mileage while
on County business. An odometer reading must be included on the state travel voucher for
vicinity travel. Mileage is not allowed from a residence or office to a point of departure. For
example, driving form one's home to the airport for a business trip is not a reimbursable
expense.

Subgrantee: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2005 End Date: 9130/2006
Problem Identification
Problem Identification
The Problems to which the Monroe Youth Challenge Program (MYCP) are responding are: 1)
increases in middle school fighting and bullying, alcohol-related usage, suspension rates, and
arrests; and 2) decreases in the age that students are reporting using gateway drugs _ in
particular, cigarettes and alcohol.
Significance
These problems are significant because: 1) early usage of gateway drugs such as alcohol and
tobacco is often a precursor to the use of harder drugs such as methamphetamine and cocaine;
2) there is a noteworthy correlation between alcohol or chemical dependency and criminal activity
according to several studies released by the Nationat Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD); 3) fighting and bullying are the major causes of violence in middle schools
which, in turn, are the most common reasons for out of school suspensions; and 4) increased
suspension rates correlate to increased drop out rates.
The at risk youth, their families, victims as well as the local community as a whole are affected by
the social and economic cost of the increase in juvenile substance abuse and crime.
Needs Assessment.
The scope of the problem of middle school usage of gateway drugs, in particular, alcohol and
tobacco, is indicated by surveyed Monroe County high school students reporting that they first
used cigarettes at 12.4 years old, had tried alcohol at 13.2, and drank at least once a month at
14.8. This was self reported in the 2004 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey which also
showed that 22.5% of Monroe County middle school students drank alcohol in the past 30 days.
(2.2% higher than the state average).
The same study showed an increasing trend in the delinquent behavior of Monroe County middle
school students involving arrests and attacking someone with intent to do harm. The Sheriffs
office reported that middle school students represent less than 1/3 of the total students, yet
constitute 60% of the 50 reported citations and arrests in school year 04/05. Of the 30 middle
school arrests, 80% were due to fighting or battery on other students or staff.

two years. Students are learning how to effectively communicate through active listening,
problem solving and they bring real concerns to adults as needed. Teenagers go through difficult
times trying to fit in and belong to a peer group. By identifying this process as a common and
universal need through the interactive supportive programs, students are learning that they are
not alone in this process of growing and finding themselves. These program initiatives have
become the heart and soul of our schoo!."

Project Summary (Continued)
Monroe Youth Challenge Program will offer the following activities:
Motivational assemblies and speakers, Gateway Drug and Anti Bullying Trainings, Peer
Education, School Clubs and Service Projects, and Natural Helpers Peer Assistance Program.
One Contact hour with one student is the unit of measurement. This includes training, drug-free
events, and service projects.
The project will perform this activity weekly
An average of 20 middle school youth will be involved per activity. Some will have fewer. Some,
such as assemblies may have 300 students.
MYCP will provide a minimum of 2000 defined units. This would reflect half of the middle
schoolers in the county receiving 2 contact hours of anti drug, anti violence, or life skills training.
Our target group is middle school age students of both sexes at all Monroe County schools.
Participants will be selected by teachers, counselors, and administrators. The Prevention
Coordinator will recruit additional at-risk students. Students who will be Natural Helpers are
chosen by fellow students.
The only criterion for participants to qualify for programs is that they be in middle school. Students
with at-risk behaviors such as excessive referrals, absences, tardies, or poor academic
performance will be specifically targeted.

not meet EEO program criteria as set forth in Section 501 of The Federal Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended and that they have or have not
formulated, implemented and maintained a current EEO Program. Submission of this
certification is a prerequisite to entering into this agreement. This certification is a material
representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this agreement was made. If the

of its approval letter from the OCR. However, if the EEO Plan approval is more than two
years old, an updated Plan must be submitted.
d. In the event a Federal or State court of Federal or State administrative agency makes a
finding of discrimination after a due process hearing on the grounds of race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, or disability against a recipient of funds, the recipient will forward a copy
