UPDATE ON ANOKA-HENNEPIN COMMUNITY EDUCATION By: Jessie Hart, Finance Officer Background: Steve Kerr, Community Education Manager for Ramsey Elementary, and several others from Community Education were in attendance at the November 28, 1996, Finance Committee meeting. They were in attendance at that point to identify a computation problem that had taken place over the past three years which resulted in an overpayment by the City in 1993 and 1994 and an over billing for 1995. This error was also carried through to the 1996 estimate. The 1996 budget 'amount, which included the error, in actuality provides for 28 hours of programming rather than the 20 we were paying for. Based on discussion at the meeting and the adoption of the budget, Mr. Kerr has adjusted the hours to 28 and has indicated' that they will operate the program based on 28 hours. They will monitor the demand and see if the 28 hours is enough, and if it appears the additional 2 hours would be needed, they would then approach the City Council to discuss the issue further. In addition to the discussion regarding the funding levels, several members of Council had other questions that required answers and that this be placed on the January Finance Committee agenda. I believe the attached memorandum answers the questions asked of Mr. Kerr. While Mr. Kerr will not be present at the Finance Committee meeting, he has indicated that if there are additional questions or concerns, he will be more than willing to address these. Committee Actions: None required - based on discussion. Reviewed by: City Administrator Finance Officer FC: 01/23/96
