Local Governmental Unit Administration (LGU) is considered a unique cost center over and
above the cost to the agency as a service provider; therefore, a separate cost center should be
maintained for LGU administration detailing personal services and other than personal services
costs. LGU administration costs are required to be reported as a shared program (program code
0890) on the core CFR schedules (CFR-1 through CFR-6) and DMH-1. The journal entries
should be made during the provider's normal accounting cycle. The following is a partial list of
activities from Section 41.13 of the Mental Hygiene Law (MHL) which are associated with the
responsibility of the LGU. Refer to the MHL for a complete description.
• Review services and local facilities for the mentally disabled of the area which it serves
and their relationship to local need; determine needs of the mentally disabled of such
area; and encourage programs of prevention, diagnosis, care, treatment, social and
vocational rehabilitation, special education and training, consultation, and public
education on mental disabilities.
• Develop a program of local services for the area which it serves, establish long-range
goals of the local government in its programs for the mentally disabled, and develop
intermediate range plans and forecasts, listing priorities and estimated costs.
• Direct and administer the development of a local comprehensive plan for all services for
mentally disabled residents of the area, which shall be submitted to the department and
used in part to formulate a statewide comprehensive plan for services.
• Seek to assure that under the goals and plans required, all population groups are
adequately covered, sufficient services are available for all the mentally disabled within
its purview, that there is coordination and cooperation among local providers of services,
that the local program is integrated and coordinated with the programs of the
department, and that there is continuity of care among all providers of services.
• Submit annually to the department for its approval and subsequent State Aid, a report of
long-range goals and specific intermediate range plans as modified since the preceding
report, along with a local services plan or unified services plan for the next fiscal year.
• Have the power, with the approval of local government, to enter into contracts for the
provision of services and the construction of facilities including contracts executed
pursuant to subdivision (e) of section 41.19 of this article and the power, when
necessary, to approve construction projects.
• Establish procedures for execution of local government, to enter into contracts for the
provision of services and the construction of facilities including regulations to guide the
provision of services by all organizations and individuals within its program.
