III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Board approved the District Attorney' s FY 1985-1986 Budget for Budget
Unit #0242 which provides for, among other things, the continuation of
funding for the delivery of rape crisis services to the community by the
three rape crisis centers listed herein and for the continuation of funding
for the delivery of battered women' s shelter and support services to the
community by the Battered Women's Alternatives Inc. in the amounts as listed
below for the period July 1 , 1985 to June 30, 1986. The budget for these
organizations did not include a cost of living increase. The Board granted
a 4% cost of living increase to all county employees and authorized the
same cost of living increase to community based organizations who are under
contract to the county for the delivery of specified services.
Battered Women' s Alternatives Inc. $199,861
(Budget Unit #0242 - $119,111 )
(Budget Unit #0585 - $ 80,750)
East County Rape Crisis Unit 45,264
Rape Crisis Center of West Contra Costa 52,617
Rape Crisis Service of Central Contra Costa 52,229
The total funds authorized in FY 1985-1986 for Budget Unit #0585 (Domestic
Violence Program) is $85,632 ($12,957 of FY 1984-1985 carryover revenues
were added to the FY 1985-1986 budget while 10% [$8,075] of the FY 1985-1986
estimated revenues from marriage license fees were deducted for administra-
tive expenses and cost of collections as provided for by law) .
The Board had authorized the District Attorney to extend contracts with the
community based organizations named below, in the amounts as indicated, for
the period July 1 , 1985, to September 30, 1985, pending adoption of the
final FY 1985-1986 county budget:
Battered Women's Alternatives Inc. $43,275
(Budget Unit #0242 - $29,775)
(Budget Unit #0585 - $13,500)
East County Rape Crisis Unit 11 ,316
Rape Crisis Center of West Contra Costa 13,152
Rape Crisis Service of Central Contra Costa 13,056
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request will result in a financial hardship on
these organizations whereby they may be unable to grant a cost of living
increase to their staff. It would also result in these organizations being
treated unfairly by the county inasmuch as a number of other community
based county funded contract agencies have already been granted a cost of
living increase for FY 1985-1986.
