DATE: January 24, 2006 _
SUBJECT: In-home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority Rate Revision
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION*
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to revise the
In-home Supportive Services Public Authority rate for Contra Costa County from $12,02 to $12.27 per hour
effective February 1, 2006.
FINANCIAL, IMPACT:
The total cost of the In-home Supportive Services Program is $79,737,509. 14% County, 86% Federal and State
allowing for capped State share of cost for salary and benefit expenditures. The overall County share has
decreased from 22% under the prior rate because of increased Federal Financial participation.
RACKGRC) 1i ND.
The rate revision request from$12.02 to $12.27 per hour reflects the IHSS Public Authority budget adopted by
the Board of Supervisors for Fiscal Year(FY) 2005-2006 and changes arising from the recently concluded
bargaining agreement with the SEIU Local #250. The rate is computed by adding total services costs and total
administrative costs and dividing by number of IHSS hours ($77,870,716 + $1,866,793 = $79,737.509/
6,500,000 hours = $12.27). A budget revision will be prepared to adjust the IHSS Public Authority budget to
reflect the new rate.
The California State Department of Social Services, Adult Program Branch, requires County Board of
Supervisors approval for all IHHS Public Authority rate changes.
