SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement #28-669 with Regional Center of the East Bay
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Wendel Brunner, M.D. ) to execute on behalf of the County, Agreement #28-
669 with the Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) , in an amount not to
exceed $4, 295 . 39, for the period from June 30, 2001 through March 31,
2002 , for the Early Intervention Program at George Miller Center West .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Grant Agreement funded by the RCEB will result in an amount not to
exceed $4, 295 . 39 to support the transition from center-based Early
Intervention Programs to off-site services . No County funds are
required.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
In 1997 the State of California incorporated into State law federal
statutes requiring that all early intervention services for disabled
infants and children be provided in non-segregated sites (defined as
places where children without disabilities would be found) . Since then,
early intervention programs have been trying to work with their local
Regional Centers to coordinate how the transition in service modalities
would work.
RCEB understands there are costs associated with the programmatic shift
and has agreed to provide funding to assist the Department with the
purchase of additional materials and equipment needed for the transition
of Early Intervention Services from center-based to natural environments
as specified under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act .
Currently, both George Miller Center sites provide early intervention
services in the center-based nursery programs as well as off-site through
the Home Program. The Department anticipates expansion of the Home
Program as Regional Center for the East Bay (RCEB) initiates the
transition from center-based services .

The Grantor has requested to be held harmless and indemnified as part of
their standard for approval of the Agreement with the County. Except for
funding this Project, RCEB will have no direct involvement in the
implementation of this Project . Therefore, in the view of County Risk
Management this indemnification will create a minimal potential loss .
The Health Services Department desires to expedite approval of the
Agreement as written.
Two certified copies of the Board Order should be returned to the
Contracts and Grants Unit .
