RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a Non-Profit Corporation, effective March 1, 2016, decreasing the payment limit by $133,616 to a new payment limit of $373,913 to provide Phase II Lethality Assessment Program Implementation for Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention for the period December 5, 2014 through September 30, 2016. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$373,913: 100% Federal Department of Justice Grant (CFDA #16.590). No County Costs.

BACKGROUND:

This decrease in the payment limit is due to a mandatory reduction in funding from the US Department of Justice. The Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI) applied for and received funds from the US Department of Justice, Office on Violence against Women (OVW), Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration ("Project") in 2013. The Project is implemented in two phases - an assessment phase ("Phase I") and an implementation phase ("Phase II"). OVW completed Phase I in September 2014 and selected ZTDVI as one of four sites to participate in Phase II of the Project and implement the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), a recognized promising practice. ZTDVI is engaging the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Valuable services will not be provided.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
