II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding is from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children
and Families. The entire Federal Fund portion of $327,569 will be added via appropriation
adjustment to the current Head Start Budget of $6,298,786. County, as the Grantee, is required to
generate a 20 percent non-federal match in the amount of$81,893 on the additional award.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On October 24, 1995, the Board accepted a supplemental award from the Administration for
Children and Families in the amount of$299,591 for a Head Start Cost of Living Adjustment and
Quality Improvement Funds.
On November 19, 1996, the Board approved contracts with Delegate Agencies for the provision of
Head Start services from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.
On February 11, 1997, the Board approved submission of a grant application to the Administration
for Children and Families for the 1997 Head Start Cost of Living Adjustment and Quality
Improvement Funds. This grant award is the result of said application. Approval of this request
will allow the Community Services Department's Head Start program to accept the additional
funds and amend 1997 contracts with Delegate agencies to increase contract payment limits.
