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 $4,655,946 for general childcare and development program services with no change to the term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County is to receive up to $4,655,946, with 29% ($1,336,723) coming from Federal funding (CFDA Nos. 93.596, 93.575), and 71% ($3,319,223) from State funding. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) 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 June 18, 2019 (c.54). The second amendment modified the minimum days of operation on the contract from 252 to 251 with no changes on payment or term limit and therefore did not requiring board approval.

Throughout the fiscal year, an agency may find its projected services or needs change and therefore may request a temporary transfer funds from the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contract to the General Child Care and Development Program (CCTR) contract. During the fiscal year 2019-20, there was a higher need to serve more infants and toddlers. In May 2020, the department requested a temporary transfer request from CDE to approve the $800,000 transfer from CSPP to CCTR contract. The department received approval notification from CDE on June 24, 2020 approving transfer funds. This amendment is to shift funding from the CSPP contract to CCTR contract, and there is no impact in budget adjustment.

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.

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.
