SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Executive Director, Community Services Department, to
execute on behalf of the County a contract between the Fresno County Economic Opportunities
Commission and the Community Services Department for the purpose of developing self-sustaining,
community resource development projects in Contra Costa County, and to APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the
Executive Director, Community Services Department, to execute on behalf of the County's economic
development agreements between the County and the Greater Richmond Community Development Center
(GRCDC) and United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations (UCSSO) to provide specific community
resource development projects within the County.
The contract amount for each agency is $45,000.00, and the contract period for both will be
March 1 ,_ 1987, through June 30, 1988,
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Of the total grant of $100,000.00, $90,000,00 will be placed into a County trust
fund for use by the two subcontractors and will consequently not be reflected in the departmental
budget. The balance of $10,000.00 will be incorporated into the departmental budget through the
normal appropriation process.
BACKGROUND: In the Fall of 1986, the department received notification from the State Department
of Economic Opportunity (DEO) that the County was invited to submit a proposal in a statewide
competitive process for economic development funds made availabe by the State. The department
approached numerous.,community agencies in the County for the purpose of obtaining potential con-
tractors. Two agencies, GRCDC and UCSSO, indicated interest and submitted proposals to the depart-
ment, which in turn prepared an overall proposal for the State, In October, 1986, the department
was notified by the State that $100,000.00 in economic resources development funds were awarded
to the County. Of this amount, $45,000.00 each would go to GRCDC and UCSSO, with the balance of
$10,000.00 going to the County. To obtain these funds, the County would have to enter into an
agreement with Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission, one of several entities in the State
administering these dollars on behalf of DEC. Upon completion of this process, the County would
then enter into agreements with GfiCDC and UCSSO.
Payments on both contracts shall be processed through the Auditor-Controller's Office, using the
pre-audit process presently being used for the delegate agencies. Two of the three contracts
have been approved by County Counsel as to form. It is anticipated that the third agreement will
be approved by County Counsel by (larch 13, 1987. Only upon the approval of the third agreement
will this package be forwarded to the funding source for approval ,
