Subject:Interagency Agreement with Marin County Department of Child Support Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 multiple agencies.
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 eliminate the ability for other county child
support agencies from participating in this program and increase the per case cost to DCSS.
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.
