RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Child Abuse Prevention Council, effective January 1, 2018, to decrease the payment limit by $29,317 from $1,277,562 to a new payment limit of $1,248,245 to accurately reflect contractor staffing levels and rates for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will reduce expenditures by $29,317. The contract is funded by 4% Local, 55% State, 36% County, and 5% Federal revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Through this contract, the Child Abuse Prevention Council directs and coordinates ongoing activities aimed at mobilizing community resources and educating professionals and citizens to reduce the incidence of child abuse. The original contract in the amount of $1,277,562 was approved by the Board on May 9, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This amendment reduces the payment limit to accurately reflect contractor staffing levels and rates. For the first half of FY 2017/18, the contractor experienced salary savings due to staff vacancies. In order for the contractor to attract and retain staffing, the department is approving a salary rate increase for designated positions. These changes result in a net reduction in contract budget of $29,317.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The provision of valuable services to prevent child abuse may be hindered.

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 services to prevent child abuse and thus maintain the family.
