RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with California State University Fresno Foundation, a Non-Profit Corporation, effective December 1, 2020 to decrease the payment limit by $25,000 to a new payment limit of $725,000 to provide Title IV-E training, with no change to the term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract decrease results from the 2020-2021 budget reduction and will decrease department expenditures by $25,000 for a total department expenditure of $725,000. The contract is funded with 75% Federal IV-E funds; 17% State 2011 Realignment funds; and 8% County funds. [CFDA #93.658]

BACKGROUND:

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California State 2011 Realignment budget and County Department budget decreased significantly which required Employment and Human Services Department, Children and Family Services Bureau to seek reductions in contracts where the corresponding funding is being utilized. The California State University Fresno Foundation (Contract) interagency agreement is funded by Federal IV-E funds, 2011 State Realignment and County funds and provides training to increase the skills and provide staff training. This program enhances professional skills and knowledge; increases cultural awareness and responsiveness of staff; and increases staff’s knowledge on the application of new laws and regulations in child welfare.

The reduction in budget represents a reduced number of training class offerings that the Contractor is targeted to perform during the Fiscal Year while still ensuring that we are offering a minimum number of classes to expand expertise and knowledge of staff providing services to Contra Costa County families, children and youth involved in the foster care system.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The EHSD budget will not reflect the decreased budget/contract values as they are already a part of the approved FY 2020-21 Final Budget.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all five of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and 5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by providing training to CFS staff to support these outcomes.
