RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified indemnification language with the Regents of the University of California, Davis, in an amount not to exceed $97,750 to provide staff training on eligibility, employment services, adult services, and general leadership for the period December 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds allocated for this contract are 25% State and 75% Federal (CFDA #93.658, Foster Care Title IV-E; CFDA #93.778, Medical Assistance Program; CFDA #10.561, State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; CFDA #93.558, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families).

BACKGROUND:

The University of California Davis provides training to Employment and Human Services Department CalWORKS Eligibility, Employment Services and Welfare-to-Work, and Adult Services staff.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

These mandatory trainings include classes related to eligibility, leadership, health care reform, professional development, and career growth. The program meets State regulations that allow public institutions of higher education to provide in-kind match funding equal to the California Welfare Department's share of costs, resulting in no expense to the County, and more informed and skilled staff.

The Regents of the University of California, Davis, require the inclusion of a mutual indemnification clause in the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Employment and Human Services Department will be unable to provide training necessary to ensure a knowledgeable, professional staff.
