ATTACHMENT A
JEFFERSON COUNTY MH/SA TREATMENT TAX FUNDING -
MATCH POLICY
Definitions:
Match: is a requirement for the grantee to provide contributions of a specified amount or
percentage to match funds provided by another grantor. Matching can be in the form of
cash or in-kind contributions.
Regulations: The specific requirements for matching funds are unique to each federal or
state program. The A-102 Common Rule provides criteria for acceptable costs and
contributions in regard to match.
Jefferson County Policy:
In 2005, the Washington State Legislature created an option for counties to raise the local sales
tax by 0.1 percent, (the I/ 10th of I% sales tax initiative) to augment state funding for mental
health and chemical dependency treatment. Jefferson County collects and distributes the Mental
Health/Chemical Dependency (MH/SA) tax. Services purchased by the County are allocated
through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process, review and contracting; staffed by
Jefferson County Public Health, overseen by Jefferson County Mental Health Substance Abuse
Fund Advisory Committee and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, (BOCC).
BOCC does not assume any fiscal responsibility/liability for any of the Contractors they contract
for services with.
Jefferson County reserves the first right to use as match the chemical dependency mental health
tax funds and the services funded by them for purposes of qualifying for additional funding and
grants. County may make available to the Contractor the chemical dependency mental health tax
funds for the Contractor to propose as match to state, federal or other entities, at the County's
sole discretion. Contractor shall not use chemical dependency mental health County tax funds
for match without prior authorization by the Jefferson County Administrator and County fiscal
team. To request authorization of availability of the funds for match, Contractor must apply to
the County Administrator in writing, and include their match formula and allocation plan and
may include other documentation to support their request. The County Administrator will
authorize or deny the availability of match funds in writing within 30 days of the application.
If the County informs the Contractor of the availability of chemical dependency mental health
County tax funds for match, then the Contractor shall be solely responsible for compliance with
all state and federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to DSHS, CMS and DBHR
funding rules, applicable to the use of MH/SA sales tax monies as match. Following state,
federal and local guidelines for match is the responsibility of the Contractor.
For example, if a Contractor provides Title XIX Medicaid services (the Policy 19.50.02 or
42CFR 430.30) they are required by those rules to actually bill Medicaid for the services at the
same time. If no Medicaid billing exists, the match would not comply with state and federal
guidelines for match.
Concurrent with its request for authorization of the availability of match, Contractor shall
document it has met its responsibility to follow state, federal and local guidelines for match by
submitting in writing to the County Administrator their match formula, allocation plan, and
other documentation made mandatory pursuant to this Agreement and this Attachment A. At a
minimum, the Contractor shall also provide the following to the County Administrator:
1. DSHS requires contractors to complete and submit a "Local Match Certification"
form (DSHS 06-155) or a form that has equivalent data elements prior to any
agreement for DSHS services. Submit a copy of this application and form when
requesting match availability from the County and at each monthly billing.
2. Submit the current administrative policy within WA State regulating your services
and the use of local match.
3. Submit to the County your last financial audit showing your use of match,
County funds and tracking systems.
4. Submit to the County the terms of the agreement showing the MH/SA allocation
is an allowable source of match.
5. Provide documentation that your financial reporting system tracks matching funds
at a level that meets the level of documentation required by federal or state
statutes.
The County may reject permission for Contractor to utilize the MH/SA sales tax monies as
match.

DATE: February 21, 2018
SUBJECT: Disclosure of Interest
As Risk Manager, I review all agreements for risk, including all agreements with organizations
recommended by the Hargrove Committee to receive an allocation 1/10th of 1% Mental Health
Substance Abuse funds to provide services. Among these agreements, I have reviewed and
approved for Risk, a Contract Amendment No. 2 with Jumping Mouse Children's Center,
extending an existing agreement and providing funding in 2018 for mental health treatment
services. The Amendment with Jumping Mouse is like five other agreements with other service
providers that I have reviewed in the same Hargrove Committee funding round. All of these
agreements are also reviewed by Legal after my review.
Jefferson County's Code of Ethics is adopted as Appendix B of the County's Personnel
Administration Manual. Section 4.0 of the Code of Ethics reads in part,
If an employee or someone, with whom the employee has a close personal relationship, has a financial
or employment relationship with a vendor, potential vendor, or any person or business entity doing
business or wishing to do business with the County, then the employee has an "interest," as that term
is defined in Section 2.0. In such circumstances the employee is considered to have an "interest" that
mandates disclosure of that "interest" and eventual resolution in accordance with this Code.
Starting November 1, 2017, my spouse has been employed by Jumping Mouse as a Staff
Therapist, working part time 22 hours per week. She is one of approximately eleven full- and
part-time staff. County funding from Amendment No. 2 is $22,284, while Jumping Mouse's
most recent annual financial report shows revenues from all sources in 2016 were $528,222,
used to fund Jumping Mouse's operations. As such, there is not a direct correlation or benefit
between Amendment No. 2 and my spouse's employment.
In conclusion, in disclosing my spouse's part time employment at Jumping Mouse, I believe my
ability to professionally conduct routine Risk review of this agreement on behalf of the County
is unaffected.

Jt-, VI,12:SON COUNTY Ml1 J/CD TREA`I'Ml`N'T''l'AX FUNDING -
MATCH POLICY
On October 14, 2013 Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) adopted the
following language in the allocation of the Mental Health Chemical Dependency treatment
dollars.
Agencies may not use Jefferson County mental health county/ chemical dependency
treatment tax funds for match, without prior authorization of their match_formula and
allocation use, approved by the Jefferson County Administrator and fiscal team. The
match may not be used without written permission.
Definitions:
Match: is a requirement for the grantee to provide contributions of a specified amount or
percentage to match funds provided by another grantor. Matching can be in the form of
cash or in-kind contributions.
Auditors Objective: To determine whether the match amount or percentage of
contributions from JC is an allowable source of funding and that the vendor has an
accurate accounting system to track the match.
Regulations: The specific requirements for matching funds are unique to each federal or
state program. The A-1.02 Common Rule provides criteria for acceptable costs and
contributions in regard to match.
Jefferson County Policy:
In 2005, the Washington State Legislature created an option for counties to raise the local sales
tax by 0.1 percent, (the 1/10th of 1% sales tax initiative) to augment state funding for mental
health and chemical dependency treatment. Jefferson County collects and distributes the Mental
Health/Chemical Dependency (MH/CD) tax. Services purchased by the County are allocated
through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process, review and contracting; staffed by
Jefferson County Public Health, overseen by Jefferson County Mental Health Substance Abuse
Fund Advisory Committee and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, (BOCC). The
BOCC does not assume any fiscal responsibility/liability for any of the vendors they contract for
services with. Services leveraged by a vendor using MH/CD tax as match have no oversight or
agency relationship to Jefferson County; funding cannot be used without prior authorization of
the vendor's match formula and allocation by the Jefferson County Administrator and fiscal
team.
PAGE 13
i�
Following state, federal and local guidelines for match is the responsibility of the vendor.
Jefferson County will follow all administrative policies in authorizing that use. If a vendor is
disallowed the use of funds for match according to the State of Washington or the federal
government, Jefferson County funds will not be available as matching funds.
• For example, if a vendor provides Title XIX Medicaid services (the Policy
19.50.02 or 42CFR 430.30) they will not be allowed the use of match without
actually billing Medicaid for the services at the same time. If no Medicaid billing
exists, the match cannot be applied.
• The County shall verify that the local entity's financial reporting system tracks
matching funds at a level to support the use of funds; that meets the level of
documentation required by federal or state statutes.
The verification and application process for Match use within the County will include the
following steps:
1. DSHS requires contractors to complete and submit a "Local Match Certification"
form (DSHS 06-155) or a form that has equivalent data elements prior to any
agreement for DSHS services. The County must review a copy of this application
and form prior to granting match authorization of MH/CD funds for Match and at
each monthly billing.
2. Submit the current administrative policy within WA State regulating your services
and the use of local match.
3. Submit to the County your last financial audit showing your use of match,
County funds and tracking systems.
4. Submit to the County the terms of the agreement to ascertain the MH/CD
allocation is an allowable source of match.
5. The County Administrator will authorize or deny the use of match in writing
within 30 days of the application.

ATTACHMENT A
J131"FERSON COUNTY MH/SA TREATMENT TAX FUNDING -
MATCH POLICY
Definitions:
Match: is a requirement for the grantee to provide contributions of a specified amount or
percentage to match funds provided by another grantor. Matching can be in the form of
cash or in-kind contributions.
Regulations; The specific requirements for matching funds are unique to each federal or
state program. The A-102 Common Rule provides criteria for acceptable costs and
contributions in regard to match.
Jefferson County Policy:
In 2005, the Washington State Legislature created an option for counties to raise the local sales
tax by 0.1 percent, (the I/ I Oth of 1 % sales tax initiative) to augment state funding for mental
health and chemical dependency treatment. Jefferson County collects and distributes the Mental
Health/Chemical Dependency (MH/SA) tax. Services purchased by the County are allocated
through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process, review and contracting; staffed by
Jefferson County Public Health, overseen by Jefferson County Mental Health Substance Abuse
Fund Advisory Committee and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, (BOCC).
BOCC does not assume any fiscal responsibility/liability for any of the Contractors they contract
for services with.
Jefferson County reserves the first right to use as match the chemical dependency mental health
tax funds and the services funded by them for purposes of qualifying for additional funding and
grants. County may make available to the Contractor the chemical dependency mental health tax
funds for the Contractor to propose as match to state, federal or other entities, at the County's
sole discretion. Contractor shall not use chemical dependency mental health County tax funds
for match without prior authorization by the Jefferson County Administrator and County fiscal
team. To request authorization of availability of the funds for match, Contractor must apply to
the County Administrator in writing, and include their match formula and allocation plan and
may include other documentation to support their request. The County Administrator will
authorize or deny the availability of match funds in writing within 30 days of the application.
If the County informs the Contractor of the availability of chemical dependency mental health
County tax funds for match, then the Contractor shall be solely responsible for compliance with
all state and federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to DSHS, CMS and DBHR
funding rules, applicable to the use of MH/SA sales tax monies as match. Following state,
federal and local guidelines for match is the responsibility of the Contractor.
For example, if a Contractor provides Title XIX Medicaid services (the Policy 19.50.02 or
42CFR 430.30) they are required by those rules to actually bill Medicaid for the services at the
same time. If no Medicaid billing exists, the match would not comply with state and federal
guidelines for match.
Concurrent with its request for authorization of the availability of match, Contractor shall
document it has met its responsibility to follow state, federal and local guidelines for match by
submitting in writing to the County Administrator their match formula, allocation plan, and
other documentation made mandatory pursuant to this Agreement and this Attachment A. At a
minimum, the Contractor shall also provide the following to the County Administrator:
1. DSHS requires contractors to complete and submit a "Local Match Certification"
form (DSHS 06-155) or a form that has equivalent data elements prior to any
agreement for DSHS services. Submit a copy of this application and form when
requesting match availability from the County and at each monthly billing.
2. Submit the current administrative policy within WA State regulating your services
and the use of local match.
3. Submit to the County your last financial audit showing your use of match,
County funds and tracking systems.
4. Submit to the County the terms of the agreement showing the MH/SA allocation
is an allowable source of match.
5. Provide documentation that your financial reporting system tracks matching funds
at a level that meets the level of documentation required by federal or state
statutes.
The County may reject permission for Contractor to utilize the MH/SA sales tax monies as
match.
