Item Supplemental Benefits Payment Advance to Falcon Heights Fire Relief
Association Can Close by December 31, 2021
Description
The Falcon Heights Fire Relief Association will need to completely liquidate all
assets and obligations prior to December 31, 2021 and because of the timing of
supplemental benefits (pay up front and get reimbursed next year) they will
need a cash advance to take care of the supplemental benefits by that date.
Matt Mayer has confirmed the 8 members to receive supplemental benefits
with their audit records. The payment is $1,000 each for a total of $8,000.
When the payment is received in March of 2022, the city will be reimbursed
and the receivable eliminated. According to Matt, this same procedure has
been used by several other relief associations and their cities when the relief
association has ceased operations.
Budget Impact No impact to fund balance or budget since it would be only a balance sheet
transaction.
Attachment(s) N/A
Action(s)
Requested
Staff recommends the cash advance of $8,000 be paid to the Falcon Heights
Relief Association for the supplemental benefits of the 8 members to aid in the
timely closing of the Falcon Heights Relief Association by December 31, 2021.
