RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No.005031 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $467,991 from the Office of Systems Integration (OSI) on behalf of the California Statewide Automated Welfare System (CalSAWS) project, and appropriating it for FY 19/20 in the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) budget.

FISCAL IMPACT:

An additional $467,991 of staffing funds has been allocated to EHSD to cover the increase in activities by County Personnel in the design and implementation of the new CalSAWS system. The funding is a mix of Federal and State funding with no additional net county cost.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County has been using the California Welfare Information Network (CalWIN) since 2005. The 18 counties in the CalWIN Consortium are in the process of migrating to a new statewide consortium over the next 2-3 years. Significant work is being conducted by each county as the details of this migration to the new system are being decided. Contra Costa County is actively participating in this venture in order to ensure a smooth transition from CalWIN to CalSAWS.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to apply resources to this project will inhibit our ability to ensure that current functionality in the CalWIN system is incorporated into the new CalSAWS system.
