22 CAR § 5-702 – Method used to establish set-aside schedule

(a)
1. (1) Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, an estimate will be made as to the amount of funds that will be required for each of the purposes for which the funds are to be set aside during the ensuing fiscal year.
2. (2) The estimates of the amounts required as well as the purposes for which funds are to be set aside during the fiscal year will be determined in consultation with the State Committee of Blind Vendors.
(b) The estimates will take into account expenditures made for each of the purposes during the two (2) preceding fiscal years and projections for the next fiscal year based on program needs and plans and funds available from other sources.
(c) After a determination has been made as to the amounts of set-aside funds that will be required, a set-aside charge to be levied against the net proceeds of each vendor will be established to yield the required funds.
(d) The schedule will be designed as far as practicable to prevent a greater charge for any purpose than is reasonably required with allowances for the retention of reasonable reserves necessary to ensure that each purpose can be provided for on a continuing basis.
