RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Martinez Early Childhood Center to increase the payment limit by $15,000 to a new payment limit of not to exceed $251,000, to fund four additional childcare slots in Early Head Start and Head Start Program Enhancement services, with no change to the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increase in payment limit of $15,000 is covered 100% by Federal grant funds from the Administration for Children and Families (Head Start Program). The is no County match requirement.
[CFDA 93.600]

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Employment and Human Services Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. The original contract was to provide Early Head Start and Head Start program enhancement services to 56 children through this partnership. The Board approved the original contract on July 18, 2017 (C.58). The board approved an amendment to the contract to add four childcare slots, cover loss of subsidy from enrollment transition, and to increase program start-up funding, on November 7, 2017 (C.62). This board order seeks to further amend the contract to add another four childcare slots.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to fund an additional four childcare slots at the Martinez Early Childhood center.

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.
