RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with California Department of Education to increase the payment limit by $139,806 to a new amount not to exceed $5,232,803, to provide for childcare and development programs (CalWORKS Stage 2) with no change to term July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State funded and no County match required. The State number is C2AP 7009, Amendment 2. The County number is 29-213-32a.

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification on June 15, 2017 from California Department of Education for the 2017-18 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 contract on July 11, 2017 (Item C.56) and a subsequent amendment to add funds to the contract on June 26, 2018 (Item C.64). The State routinely adds funding to these types of contracts prior to the close of the program year. This second amendment is to include additional funds to the contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not have funds to operate the CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department's 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.
