Specific Request(S) or Recommendation (S) & Background and Justification
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director or designee to
execute contract amendment #33-499-15 with the First Baptist Church to
increase the payment limit by $163,401 to a new payment limit of $1,767,116
for Head Start Delegate Agency services for the period from January 1, 2001
through December 31, 2001
I I . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration
for Children and Families (ACF). First Baptist Church is required to generate a
20% non-federal local match of in-kind, non-cash contributions in the amount of
$40,850.
III . CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT.-
The Community Services Department Head Start Program supports two of
Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School" and "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing."
These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including
high quality early childhood education, nutrition, health, and social services,
along with a strong parent involvement focus, to low-income children throughout
Contra Costa County. The overall goal of the program is to bring a greater
degree of social competence in preschool children from low-income families.
The Head Start program allows the County to provide these services to program
eligible children, ages 3 to 5 years.
IV. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On September 12, 2001, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
Administration for Children and Families, approved a financial assistance award
for Head Start Supplemental Funding. This funding is for FY 2000-2001. On
October 2, 2001, the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors will review this
financial assistance award for acceptance.
Supplemental funds are in the following three categories stipulated by the
funding source: Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA), Quality Improvement, and
Training & Technical Assistance (T/TA). Acceptance of this award will allow for
these adjustments in the County's Head Start program, which serves program
eligible children, ages 3 to 5 years old.
