S.F. No. 2957 - Hennepin County
Author: Senator Ann Rest
Prepared by: Daniel P. McGowan, Senate Counsel (651/296-4397)
Date: March 11, 2010


The proposed legislation would authorize Hennepin County to use forward pricing mechanisms to eliminate budget risks. The bill provides conditions under which the forward pricing transactions may be made, requires the Hennepin County Board to have written policies and procedures governing the use of the forward pricing mechanisms, and before exercising the forward pricing mechanism, the board must establish an oversight process that provides for a review of it, including internal or external audit reviews, quarterly reports, and internal management control.
