RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/321 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a revenue agreement amendment with California Department of Education, to increase the payment limit by $701,623 to a new limit not to exceed $7,861,800 for childcare and development programs (CalWORKS Stage 2) with no change to the contract term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This revenue agreement is funded 88% ($6,945,794) by State funding from the California Department of Education and 12% (916,006) a federal pass through. The federal funds are passed through California Department of Education. The State contract number is C2AP 8009, Amendment #2. The County contract number is 29-213-40. (CFDA 93.575)

BACKGROUND:

The Department received the original revenue contract on June 5, 2018 from California Department of Education (CDE) for the 2018-19 funding allocation for alternative payment / CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare services. This State program provides funding to reimburse a portion of the childcare costs incurred by CalWORKS Stage 2 participants through their participation in the CalWORKS program. The board approved the 2018-2019 revenue agreement on June 26, 2018 (C.70). The board approved a first amendment to receive additional funds on July 9, 2019 (C.57).

On July 16, 2020 the department was notified by the State that additional revenue for fiscal year 2018-19 was due to the department. After the California Department of Education’s Audits and Investigations Division reviewed the department’s FY 2018-19 audit report, they determined that the report materially meets CDE’s reporting requirements and determined the amount of net reimbursable program costs. According to their audit, the department was under-reimbursed for the services the department rendered during that year. This amendment is to accept this reimbursement of funds from CDE.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not recuperate funds expended in operation of the 2018-19 CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program. The County was under-reimbursed during the program year. This board action will allow the County to further recover expenditures.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
