The cost of dependency case services is reimbursed 100% by the Superior Court under California Rules of Court, rule 810, which identifies the costs eligible for the Trial Court Funding Program. BACKGROUND. Attorneys assigned to represent minors in dependency cases are obligated by state law to visit the minor clients in the homes and placement settings at least once every 6 months. Such "home visits" may also entail consultations with families or other professionals such as social workers, teachers and psychologists. The home/school visits provide information from and consultation with the minor child that, in turn, form the basis for advocacy on behalf of the dependent children clients in W & 1 300 proceedings. Dependency Case Assistants (DCA) work with, and under the supervision of, attorneys in the Public Defender's Office assigned to handle Welfare and Institutions Code Section 300 cases for minors in Juvenile Court. Utilizing contract DCAs is both cost-efficient and sensible: (1) attorneys are paid more on an hourly basis than contract DCAs and such home visits involve travel time and other scheduling duties which can be carried out by DCAs at a low hourly cost; and (2) DCAs often have backgrounds in social work, child development, education, criminal justice, and other allied fields which gives them an expertise not necessarily possessed by attorneys in the Public Defender.

Given the alternative and irregular work schedules required, as well as other work experience characteristics of the DCAs, recruitment, retention and payment as contract employees works best for the department. Hopefully, too, in the best interests of continuity in their interaction with younger minors, a bond of trust will be established with these clients.

RA CKCROTIND- The Department obtained authority to amend and extend the above noted agreement (October 15, 2002, Item C. 34) with the intent to incorporate the One-Stop Internet service within the Department. However, the Department encountered unforeseen technical issues in transferring Internet access responsibilities in-house, such as the need for a firewall to limit access to the Department server from the many computers used by job seekers. Therefore, the Department seeks authority to continue services through the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE). For the past three years the Board of Supervisors authorized the execution of an interagency agreement with the Contra Costa County Office; of Education for line charges, technical support and Internet access for the EASTBAY Warks One-Stop Career Centers in Contra Costa County and the City of Richmond. Telephone line charges and Internet access fees for the One-Stop Career Centers in the City of Richmond will be covered in this agreement with CCCOE and will be offset by cost sharing agreements with the City and other EASTBAY Works partners.
