DATE: November 3, 1999
SUBJECT: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to
contract with Ms. Sherry Ruffini in the amount of$50,000 as the Program Director of the
Welcome Home Baby Program for the period November 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000.
(Contract #21-568-0)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to contract with Ms.
Sherry Ruffini in the amount of$50,000 as the Program Director of the Welcome Home Baby Program for
the period November 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County funds. This contract is funded by the Zellerbach Family Fund ($30,000) and Family and Children's
Trust Committee (FACT) funds ($20,000).
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This action will directly support the fourth and fifth outcomes, "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"
and "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families". Activities
under this contract will provide in-home visitation services to families and children.
BACKGROUND:
The Welcome Home Baby Program is being developed as one of the major prevention/early intervention service
delivery strategies for families with children ages 0-3. When fully operational, this program of in-home
visitation services for all first-time parents will provide parent education and support, health information,
screening and improved access to medical care, and referrals to other community services as necessary
(including mental health, special needs services, housing assistance, employment opportunities, child care
resources, etc.). Development of this program has been designated by the Family and Children's Policy Forum
and the Department of Employment and Human Services as one of the highest priorities.
The significant amount of time required to complete a strategic planning process, coordinate this program with
other County Departments and community-based agencies, establish an evaluation process, and develop the
necessary RFD's and contracts to implement services necessitates the full-time commitment of an experienced
Program Director. Program staff of the Zellerbach Family Fund and members of the Family and Children's
Trust Committee recognized the need for such a person and have committed funds to support this position.
Ms. Ruffini was selected after a well-publicized search and interviews with Department personnel. Her long-
time involvement with the operation of in-home visitation programs is essential to the effective development and
implementation of a successful program.
