activities for calendar year 2007. As part of this audit we Katie determined the one-year reserve balance
required to be maintained in your organization's individual account and have enclosed a report showing
this balance and the claims and payments activity within your. account for.the years 2003 through 2007
In accordance with the Fund's bylaws and. the interlocal agreement between the Fund and your
organization; monies held in your reserve account are invested and earnings from these investments are
credited against the expense of operating the Fund, including costs of processing claims. Expenses for
201)7 exceeded interest income. Therefore, a prorated portion, allocated according to the number of
fulLtime employees, of this additional expense charge is reflected on the Reserve Calc~zlation Repol-t as
a legative figure under the Other column as Operating Expense.
Based on these calculations; your account balance is greater than that required. As such, we are
refunding to you the contributions in excess of the required one-year reserve.
A check in the amount of $28,117.46 is enclosed.
We continuously update our Unemployment Fund coordinator information listing. If you are no longer

Dear Ms. Hyde:
This letter is to inform you of your Unemployment Fund payroll contribution rate to be used for 2009.
We hope this will be helpful to you in preparing your 2009 budget. The following is a comparison of
your old rate to your new rate and the applicable quarterly payroll on which your contribution is based:
Quarterly			
Payroll Ending	Year	Rate	Due Date
3/31/2008	2008	0.003?_	04/10/2008
6/30/2008	2008	0.0032	O'1/10!'L008
9!30/2008	2008	0.0032	10/10/'L008
12/31 /2008	2008	0.0032	O 1 / 10; 2009
3/31/2009	2009	0.0028 (New Rate)	04/10/2009
6/30/2009	2009	0.0028	07/10/2009
9/30/2009	2009	0.0028	10/10/2009
12/31 /2009	2009	0.0028	O 1! 10/2010
Your rate has been calculated by using total claims for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 divided by your
total gross payroll for the same applicable years.. The minimum contribution rate is .0005. If the
calculation for your 2009 rate is a number less than that, your rate is automatically adjusted to .0005.
I would like to remind you that the contribution is calculated on your TOTAL GROSS PAYROLL
for each quarter, with a minimum ec~ntribirtion per. quarter cif ~=~5.0~1;
If you have any questions, contact either Cynthia Brannen or me at 1-800-456-5974. Thank you for
allowing TAC to serve you.
