FROM : JAMES A. RYDINGSWORD, DIRECTOR Contra
Social Service Department
Costa
DATE '. February 6 , 1989 County
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THREE-PARTY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
(County No. 20-750 )
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the
Sacramento County Department of Social Services , Mt. Diablo
Unified School District Foster Youth Services , and Contra Costa
County Social Service Department, and authorize the Social
Service Department Director or his designee to execute the MOU.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will not be any further expenditure of County funds with
the passage of this action.
BACKGROUND:
The three parties to this MOU in a joint effort scripted,
produced and set up a distribution system for the video,
"Choose to Make It" . "Choose to Make It" was paid for by each
county from a portion of its state Independent Living Skills
Program funds. The video is shown to children who are in need
of guidance and support in becoming independent adults after
leaving foster care under the supervision of the Social Service
or the Probation Department.
The video provides an overview of housing, financial planning,
health and other problems faced by young adults. These issues
are discussed in the video by young adults who were once foster
children.
The parties to this agreement have this video available to
other agencies in an effort to help others in similar situa-
tions. Proceeds from the County' s share of net sales will go
to the Juvenile Hall Auxiliary GAP Fund which will help pay for
rent, household expenses, and other emancipation costs that
normally cannot be funded out of program or County funds.
Funds for the GAP Trust fund are made by private contributions.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without this MOU there may be a loss of future revenue for
services for the Social Service or Probation foster care
children. At this time it is not know how much the sale of
this video will generate.
