RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an agreement with the Regents of the University of California, Davis, in an amount not to exceed $117,335 to provide staff training on eligibility, employment services, adult services, and general leadership for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This will increase department expenditures by $117,335, funded by 25% State and 75% Federal revenues (CFDA #93.658, Foster Care Title IV-E; CFDA #93.778, Medical Assistance Program; CFDA #10.561, State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; CFDA #93.558, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families).

BACKGROUND:

The University of California Davis provides training to Employment and Human Services Department CalWORKS Eligibility, Employment Services and Welfare-to-Work, and Adult Services staff.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

These mandatory trainings include classes related to eligibility, leadership, health care reform, professional development, and career growth. The program meets State regulations that allow public institutions of higher education to provide in-kind match funding equal to the California Welfare Department's share of costs, resulting in no expense to the County, and more informed and skilled staff.

The Regents of the University of California, Davis, require the inclusion of a mutual indemnification clause in the Agreement, which has been reviewed and approved by County’s Risk Management Department and County Counsel.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Employment and Human Services Department will be unable to provide training necessary to ensure a knowledgeable and professional staff.
