County
Subject:Interagency Agreement with Marin County Department of Child Support Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of cases submitted to be processed. Due to the statewide focus on early intervention efforts,
Marin County Department of Child Support Services has requested to submit their cases,
with Contra Costa County to increase the volume of cases submitted and thereby reduce the
per case cost. This is a collaborative effort to address the State mandate and to accomplish
this task in a cost efficient manner by leveraging the buying power of the Departments.
Approval of this Interagency Agreement will allow Marin County Department of Child
Support Services to pay Contra Costa County for early intervention deliquency services that
were specifically applied to their Agency's caseload.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action were not approved, it would lessen the ability for DCSS to increase collections
through early intervention efforts, as the current staffing levels do not allow for this level of
service to be provided.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Approval of this Board Order will help the Department of Child Support Services to collect
child support payments and pass these collections on to the home for the benefit of the
children associated with cases within this Department.
