SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF CHILDREN'S TRUST FUND CONTRACTS
(Ref: #'s 20-499-2, 20-500-1)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Director, Social Service Department, to execute Contract
Extension Agreements for the period May 15, 1985 through August 15, 1985
for two County Children's Trust Fund contracts as follows: -
- Contra Costa Children's Council (#20-499-2)
Parenting Training Services
- Bay Area Crisis Nursery (#20-500-1)
Out-of-Home Respite Care Services
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of extending the two above contracts for three additional months
is $7,500 and $12,500, respectively. Funding is from the Contra Costa
County Children's Trust Fund authorized by AB.2994. As of May 20, 1985,
the Fund' s balance was $52,796 and was being continuously fed by a portion
of County birth certificate fee collections.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
On May 9, 1985, the Family and Children's Trust Fund Committee (FACT)
recommended a three-month extension of the above-listed contracts pending
further deliberation of future usage of AB 2994 funds. The Social Service
Department Director supports this recommendation.
Background: On March 13, 1984, the Board designated the Children's Trust
Fund Committee authority to evaluate and recommend Children's Trust Fund
contractors to the Board. Accordingly, the contracts above were approved
by the Board on May 8, 1984, for a period of one year. Since that time,
the Committee has become part of the larger children's services advisory
group, FACT, which was established by Board action on April 16, 1985, to
coordinate funding and contractor recommendations for a variety of family
and children's services programs.

from the Social Service Department General Assistance grant funds was
approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 9, 1984.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On October 9, 1984, the Board of Supervisors authorized expansion of
the General Assistance (GA) Employables Program and as part of that
expansion authorized an increase in the number of workfare job slots
from 108 to 300 in order to serve up to 420 recipients each month.
Other components of the GA Employables Program are: Worktest, Job
Search and Job Search Workshop. The goal of the expansion was to. :.,
place GA recipients in jobs and thereby return them to a position
where they are self supporting members of the community.
The Workfare component is designed to provide a constructive work
experience to enhance a recipient' s ability to obtain employment. Two
Work Programs Slot Developers have worked on a Countywide basis since
January, one in East Central and one in West County, to develop slots
with county agencies. A special agreement format was developed by the
Social Service Department Contracts Unit and approved by the County
Counsel to specify the Department (County) and agency responsibilities
in relation to Workfare participation. The agreements are being
approved by all agencies specified on the list and actual program imple-
mentation is slated to begin. (A copy of one agreement is attached
for reference. All agreements are in the same format. ) The two
Workfare Program Slot Developers will provide constant program monitoring
and serve as liaisons to the Workfare Agencies participating. In
addition there are two Workfare Orientation Counselors that provide
assessment and referral services to the recipients. Additional agree-
ments will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors as they are developed.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The Workfare Program would not be able to proceed as scheduled and the
order of the Board on October 9, 1984 would not be carried out.
