SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR FOSTER FAMILY HOME
LICENSING (COUNTY #29-011-14/STATE MOU #61027)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the Director of the Social Service
Department or his designee to execute State Department of Social
Services Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) #61027 (County #29-
011-14) for County foster family home licensing activities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The County receives 100% State reimbursement up to the maximum
funds allocated to the County to operate a foster family home
licensing program. The remainder of the cost . is paid from County
funds and is included in the Department budget. The Department
expects to. receive $383 ,244 in State revenue for FY 1991/92 ( same
as 1990/91) , although the exact funding level has not yet been
released by the State. Historically the County' s allocation has
increased each year, and the County licensing program is budgeted
at the same level as FY 1990/91.
BACKGROUND
The Social Service Department has provided foster family home
licensing services, under agreement with the State since 1977.
Foster family homes are licensed for use by both the Probation
and Social Service Departments as placement resources for
children who require out of home care. Continuation of the
. agreement allows us to have some control over the recruitment and
licensing process and to seek out homes to meet our specific
needs. The agreement established the County as the entity
responsible for performing the licensing function for the State,
subject to applicable. statute and regulations.
NEGATIVE IMPACT
The County would lose control over the recruitment and licensing
of foster family homes and lose State fund' g.
