FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
The funding is 67.7% ($2,053,454) a Federal pass through with CFDA #93.596 and 42.3% ($979,909) is State. The Federal funds are passed through the State's Department of Education. This contract began July 1, 2018, but there is $478,906 remaining on the contract, which will be spent before the new termination of June 30, 2020. To have this revenue reflected in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget, the Department will submit an appropriation adjustment in a separate Board Order.
BACKGROUND:
The Alternative Payment childcare services program provides funding for program eligible families to receive services. Priority is given to families who interface with Child Protective Services, families with children at-risk of abuse and neglect, low-income families, and families with children who have special needs. The County Board of Supervisors approved the 2018-19 revenue agreement on June 26, 2018 (C. 68). The Board approved an amendment to accept additional funding from the State on October 9, 2018 (C. 40). This board order is to extend the term end date from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not receive additional funding to operate this childcare program.
