TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: GARY T. YANCEY (Contra
District Attorney 40 Costa
DATE: June 22 , 1988 County
SUBJECT: FY 1988-89 CONTRACT WITH BATTERED WOMEN' S ALTERNATIVES, INC.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the. District Attorney to execute, on behalf of the County, a contract with
Battered Women's Alternatives, Inc. , including extensions or amendments thereto,
provided the following payment limit is not exceeded as shown below:
Sources of Funds Amount Not To Exceed
General Fund (Budet Unit 0242) $140,657
Non-General Fund Budget Unit 0585) 72,675
TOTAL $213,332
II. FINANCIAL IMIPACT:
None. Funds for this contract are included in the County's 1988-89 Proposed Budget.
The $131,308 in County General Fund money is included in the District Attorney's
Office budget. The non-General Fund money is included in the proposed budget for
Budget Unit 0585, which is a Fund whose revenue is generated by a fee of $19 on each
marriage license issued in the County. This marriage license fee is levied in
accordance with Welfare & Institutions Code Sections 18291 to 19307 and SB 1330
(Chapter 522, Statutes of 1982). The use of these funds is restricted by law to the
support of domestic violence victim assistance programs.
The contract will contain a condition that states that the contract will be
terminated without notice should no funds be appropriated for this service in the
County's final budget for 1988-89. It will also contain a provision for immediate
reduction of the payment limit should the marriage license fee no longer be
forthcoming or if collections fall below anticipated levels. It is possible that, if
the County opts into Trial Court Funding, that the marriage license fee would no
longer be available to the County.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
This contract will provide for the continuation of funding of needed spousal abuse
assistance services by Battered Women's Alternatives, Inc.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request will result in the loss of services provided by
Battered Women's Alternatives to the citizens of this County. Because the County is
a major source of funding for that organization, program operations would be
drastically reduced, and many staff members laid off, if County funding for 1988-89
is not forthcoming.
