SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONTRACT#21-400 WITH East Bay Perinatal Council for Minor Parent Services
required under the State Teen Pregnancy Disincentive Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Social Service Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the
County, Contract# 21-400 with East Bay Perinatal Council, in the amount of$34,800, for the period
from August 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, for the delivery of Minor Parent Services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County cost. The California Department of Social Services will allocate approximately $34,800
in state and federal funds based upon an estimated 174 case months of service. The allocation for case
management expenditures are passed on to East Bay Perinatal Council to cover expenditures associated
with the delivery of services to minor parents who qualify for an exemption under the Teen Pregnancy
Disincentive Program. There is no county share associated with case management costs nor with
supportive service payments made for transportation and ancillary costs.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Teen Pregnancy Disincentive Program (AB 908, Chapter 307, Statutes of 1995) added a new
condition of eligibility for aid to minor parents under 18 years of age. It also created two new
requirements: 1) investigations by CWS Social Workers as part of the aid determination process for
minor parents who allege that living with their parent(s), legal guardian, or other adult relative would
place them and/or their child(ren) at risk of abuse; and 2) the provision of family maintenance services
to minor parents who are found to meet an exemption and are living on their own while receiving aid.

CONTRACTOR
BY DEPUTY
M382 (10/88)
This contract is for the delivery of family maintenance services to minor parents who are living
independently. The minor parent population eligible for this program is already required to participate
in the Cal Learn Program. The Cal Learn Program is focused on assisting minor parents to achieve
educational and vocational goals. The family maintenance services mandated in the Teen Pregnancy
Disincentive Program are more specifically targeted on insuring the safety and well-being of the minor
parent and her/his child. Because the East Bay Perinatal Council is under contract with the County
to provide the Cal Learn program (#21-178-5), and has been since the state inception of the program
in 1993. The services mandated by the Teen Pregnancy Disincentive Program are meant to enhance
the Cal Learn Program. Because of the State requirements to contract with the local Adolescent
Family Life Program providers, this contract will be sole sourced.
