RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Education, to increase the payment limit by $800,000 to an amount not to exceed $4,534,214 for general childcare and development program services with no change to the term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County is to receive up to $4,534,214, with 35% ($1,591,054) coming from Federal funding, and 65% ($2,943,160) from State funding (CFDA Nos. 93.596, 93.575). No County match is required.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive reimbursement for additional services that were provided at the childcare and development program during the fiscal year.

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Education to provide general childcare services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau. The Board approved the original contract on September 11, 2018 (c.43). The board approved an amendment on November 6, 2018 (c.36). The State routinely amends these types of contracts throughout the program year to provide additional funding. This board order is to accept additional funding so that County may be reimbursed for additional services provided during the fiscal year.

This amendment is to increase the payment limit from CSPP contract to CCTR contract. Throughout the fiscal year, an agency may find its projected services or needs change and therefore may request a temporary transfer funds from CSPP contract to CCTR contract. During the fiscal year 2018-19, there was a higher need to serve more infants and toddlers. In May 2019, the department requested a temporary transfer request from California Department of Education to approve the $800,000 transfer from CSPP to CCTR contract. The department received approval notification from California Department of Education on June 24^, 2019 approving transfer funds. There is no impact in budget adjustment.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Department of Education General Childcare & Development funding supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient"; and, 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
