HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06092015 - C.79RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Child Support Services, or designee, to execute an Interagency
Agreement with Monterey County Department of Child Support Services, a government agency, to pay the County
an amount not to exceed $46,000, to provide Early Intervention Services for the period of July 1, 2015 through
September 30, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Interagency Agreement will result in a total payment to the County, not to exceed $46,000 during
the term of the agreement. No County matching funds required.
BACKGROUND:
The California State Department of Child Support Services has issued a statewide mandate for local child support
agencies to focus on early intervention efforts to prevent payment delinquency and increase collections. The
Department of Child Support Services has a contract with Maximus Human Services, Inc. to provide early
intervention services. The pricing structure in the County's contract with Maximus includes discounts based on the
volume of cases. Monterey 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.
