On May 30, 2014, the Department entered an "'Order on

Proposed Final Ordersn lifting the abeyance of the DOAH

proceedings 1 allowing the parties to submit Proposed Final

Appendix C

orders, and acknowledging the intention to enter a

Final Order disposing of the parties' challenges to the 2011-2012

Annual Reconciliation of detention costs. Thereafter, the

parties submitted proposed final orders that were based upon a

December 2013 •Joint Stipulation of Facts and Procedure,w which

set out overpayment amounts for each party for Fiscal Year 2011-

2012, 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

Appendix C

predispositional, 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:
