Subcontractors must provide a 109 match but the State agreement does not require County match.

III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On March 11, 1985, the State of California Office of Child Abuse Prevention asked for information from the Social Service Department about continuation of AB 1733 projects for FY 85-86. On March 29, 1985, the Social Service Department Director explained by letter to the State that he would recommend continuing funding of all 5 current AB 1733 projects with a 4% COLA. These projects are as follows: We Care Society, Inc.

These recommendations were prepared in accordance with State guidelines and would be subject to Board of Supervisors approval . A separate recommendation will be sent to the Board relative to AB 1733 FY 85-86 contracts after further information is received from the. State on AB 2443 funding. IV. BACKGROUND Assembly Bill 1733, effective October 1, 1982, appropriated $10 million to establish child abuse prevention and intervention programs. In December 1982, the Board indicated their intent to contract with private, nonprofit agencies to provide services to children at risk of abuse or neglect and authorized the Chair to contract with the State for the purpose of funding such programs. Following an RFP process the County let 5 contracts (see Paragraph III) for FY 83-84 which were continued for FY 84-85. The State is attempting to implement a three year cycle for 1733 contract programs. FY 85-86 will be the third year of the first cycle. Starting with FY 85-86,funds for AB 1733 will be appropriated via the Budget Act for that year. V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Contractors dependent on AB 1733 funding may not have any other funding source if this agreement is not approved. This would result in loss to the community of several important programs aimed at child abuse prevention and intervention. BOARD ACTION The Chair should sign seven copies of the agreement and these should be returned to the Contracts Unit for submission to the State. REJ/EH/dc Attachs. (7)
