Financial Impact: None. 100% federal funds. Reasons For Recommendation/Background: By its Order dated March 26, 1985, the Board authorized execution of JTPA IIA Hard to Serve Project Contracts with three (3) Contractors, including the Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools. Contract 419-1061-0 with the County Superintendent of Schools provided for the operation of an On-the-Job Training, Classroom Training, Job Development and Placement Project for single parents on AFDC, for the term beginning March 1, 1985 and ending June 30, 1986, with a maximum payment limit not to exceed $84,581. By letter of July 17, 1985, the Superintendent of Schools Office requested a reduction from On-the-Job Training cost category of $9,040 and the increase in the Classroom Training cost category of $5,000. In addition, Contractor requested that $4,040 be reprogrammed to Supportive Services for Childcare and transportation costs, an allocation which is not a part of the Contract. This request was made in order to provide more appropriate services to the clients enrolled. This Contract Amendment is necessary in order to implement these requested fund transfers and will reduce the contract payment limit of the contract by $49040 and will reduce the anticipated participant enrollment level under the contract from 45 to 44.

Roboostoff RE: Your client Sandra Talbert Our insured County of Alameda Date of Loss 3-13-85 Our file FAL 38091 Dear Mr. Roboostoff: As you know, our office was requested by the County of Alameda to in- vestigate the claim you submitted to the County on behalf of Sandra Talbert arising out of the death of her daughter, Ebony Gamble on March 13, 1985, while in a foster home placement. Our investigation has revealed that the County of Alameda did not par- ticipate in the placement of Ebony Gamble or in the licensing of the foster parent. Ebony Gamble was made a dependent child of San Francisco County on March 21 , 1984. San Francisco County placed the child in a foster home in Contra Costa County, that being the home of Savannah Johnson, 55 Leeward Way, Pittsburg, CA. The child died at Children's Hospital in Oakland March 13, 1985. Our investigation further indicates that Savannah Johnson was licensed by Alameda County in 1973 and her file was closed by Alameda County Social Services in October of 1980. Contra Costa County Department of Social Services has the responsibility for her current foster home license. On the basis of this information we would recommend that you pursue your claim against the proper involved entity. We realize that, for your own Protection, it may be necessary to name all potential defendants in a law suit, including Alameda County. However, since you are on notice that Alameda County is not a proper defendant, we suggest that you name the County in your suit, but not serve the County with the Complaint pending the outcome of discovery to confirm the facts as indicated. If you elect to serve the County of Alameda after being advised that it is not a proper defendant, the County will vigorously pursue a summary judgment under 1038 of' the Code of Civil Procedure to recoop all of its costs, including defense costs.
