RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment to decrease the payment limit by $800,000 to new payment limit of $10,013,253 from the California Department of Education to provide State preschool services with no change to term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive 88% State funds ($8,823,046) and 12% Federal funds ($1,190,207), totaling $10,013,253.


Federal CFDA #s 93.596 ($815,605) and 93.575 ($374,602).

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

State Agreement CSPP 8049, Amend 2 / CCC Agreement 39-908-23a

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Education (CDE) notified the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) on June 1, 2018 of the 2018-19 funding allocation of the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) services. The County receives funds from the CDE to provide state preschool services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the EHSD, Community Services Bureau. The Board approved the original contract on June 26, 2018 (c.63). The State routinely adds funds to the contract as more funding becomes available and school calendars are finalized. The board approved a contract amendment to increase the payment limit in accordance with the increase of the daily child day of enrollment rate from $45.73 to $48.28 on November 6, 2018 (c.39).

This amendment is to decrease the payment limit by $800,000. The Bureau does not believe that it will fully earn the CSPP contract as the need for services were higher for infant and toddlers. The $800,000 reduction is a temporary release and transfer of funds between CSB’s CSPP contract to General Child Care and Development Program (CCTR) contract. It will not affect the full funding of the County's 2019-20 contract with CDE.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to transfer funds from one childcare program to the other in order to cover costs.
