APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to contract with the City
of Richmond in an amount not to exceed $21,350, for Children's Interview Center services, for the period July 1,
2013 through June 30, 2014. (No County match).
FISCAL IMPACT:
County to receive an amount not to exceed $21,350 from the City of Richmond. (No County match)
BACKGROUND:
The Children's Interview Center (Center) provides forensic interviews and exams to child victims of sexual assault.
The Center provides skilled interviewers in a child friendly setting to decrease the child's trauma by minimizing the
number of interviews required of child victims. Standardized evidence collection processes that increase the number
of cases prosecuted have been implemented at the Center. This funding will allow the Children's Interview Center to
increase services to child victims of sexual abuse. Receipt of funding was delayed due to funding availability, fiscal
agency identification, and negotiation with resulting approval through the City of Richmond.
