RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority in an amount not to exceed $2,215,660 to provide in-home support services for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30.2018. (16% County, 30% State, 54% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$2,215,660: 16% County, 30% State, 54% Federal

BACKGROUND:

The County Board of Supervisors enacted Ordinance Number 98-14 March 1998 establishing the Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority (PA) as an independent public agency pursuant to California Welfare and Institutions Code section 12301.6.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

While the IHSS-PA is an independent public agency providing services to the County, it also receives services from County departments. This dual relationship requires an agreement that establishes the respective obligations and responsibilities of the County and the PA.

This board order will authorize the execution of the FY2017-18 interagency agreement and will ensure the continuation of IHSS program services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) to County IHSS consumers and providers may not be delivered.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
