RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay Savannah Reid the amount of $15,000 for services rendered to the Office of the Public Defender during the period December 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, a total of $15,000 will be paid to the Contractor.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

100% Federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) for the Youth Justice Initiative Program.

BACKGROUND:

Savannah Reid provided youth advocacy support to juvenile clients of the Office of the Public Defender pursuant to Contract F-45755-00 for the period December 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016, as part of the Youth Justice Initiative Program. Due to an administrative error, the rate of compensation for services requested and provided was less than the authorized grant funding. Savannah Reid was entitled to compensation at rate of $5,833.33 per month, but was in fact paid at the rate of $4,166.66 per month. Ms. Reid is entitled to be compensated at the higher level for services rendered for the period December 1,2015 through August 31, 2016, for a total of $15,000.

The Department recommends that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a one-time payment in the amount listed above.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved by the Board, retroactive compensation will not be provided to the contractor for services rendered.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
