Subject:Contract with Language Line Services, Inc., for Interpretation and Translation Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) is responsible
for certain State and Federally funded social services programs that service the citizens of
Contra Costa County. EHSD provides services to the adult population, children, families,
and employment and training related clientele throughout the County. State and Federal
regulations require the County to provide public information and materials to potential,
present, and past recipients of our services in any non-English language that is prevalent
within the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
County will be unable to meet the interpretation and translation needs of our clientele and
will be out of compliance with the requirements of most of our State and federally funded
programs.
