FJ:RAL ORDER USOLV'lliG DISPlJll'BS FOR FISCAL DAR 2009•2010

On May 30, 2014, the Department entered an •order on Proposed Final Orders• lifting the abeyance of the DOAH proceedings, allowing the parties to submit Proposed Final Orders, and acknowledging the Department's intention to enter a

Appendix A

Filed February 6, 2015 4:02 PM Division of Administrative Hearings

Final Order disposing of the parties' challenges to the 2009-2010

.Amlual Reconciliation of detention costs. Thereafter, the parties submitted proposed final orders that were based upon a December 2013 •Joint Stipulation of Facts and Procedure,• which set out overpayment amounts for each party for Fiscal Year 2009- 2010, as follows:

The Department is unable to enter a Final order adopting the stipulated amounts as the parties' overpayments. The amounts are contrary to section 985.686(3) and (5), Florida Statutes, in that they obligate the State to pay for detention stays that are

prior to final court disposition.• Specifically, the calculations include youth on probation who are subsequently detained on new criminal charges, and whose detention stays are prior to disposition of the new charges. These stays are pred.ispositional, and the Department cannot obligate the State to

assume fiscal responsibility for charges associated with these detention stays.

The overpayment amounts in the last column of the following table are produced when this error is corrected:

1. The 'Corrected• amounts set forth in the last column of preceding table represent the Department's final action on the parties' challenges to the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 detention cost sharing.

2. The parties are deemed to have overpaid their actual costs for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 in the amounts set forth as

•corrected• in the preceding table.2

1 The •corrected• overpayments do not take into account credits that may already have been taken by specific counties, which will
