RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/263 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with California Department of Education to decrease the payment limit by $26,125 to a new payment limit of $11,092,780 for State Preschool services with no change in term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

California Department of Education payment limit decreased by $26,125 to a total contract payment limit of $11,092,780. (100% State) (No County match) The State agreement number is CSPP 0052-01.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Education notified the Department on August 11, 2020 of the 2020-2021 funding amendment of the California State Preschool program services. The County receives funds from the California Department of Education to provide state preschool services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau. The board approved the 2020-2021 revenue agreement on June 23, 2020 (c.31). This board order is to approve execution amendment to include the terms and conditions of the Contra Costa County Local Individualized Subsidized Child Care Plan and to increase maximum rate per child day of enrollment from $49.85 to $50.67. In order to fund a higher reimbursement rate, CSB along with other agencies participating in the Local Individualized Subsidized Child Care Plan agreed to reduce the existing CDPP Contract by decreasing their payment limit.

The Contra Costa County Local Individualized Subsidy Child Care Plan was approved by the board on July 10, 2018 (c.115) and approved by the California Department of Education on May 8, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
