SUBJECT: CONTRACT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND FAMILY STRESS CENTER
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Community Services Director, upon approval of the
County Administrator, to execute a contract between the County
and the Family Stress Center in an amount not to exceed $58 ,000
for the period March 27 , 1990 - August 31, 1990 for the purpose
of purchasing and installing a portable building on property
owned by the Mount Diablo School District for use as a Head Start
classroom, if it appears that the federal government will approve
this as a mechanism which will avoid the need to return the money
to the federal government and if any performance bond which the
County Administrator believes is necessary to insure the
performance of the contract is provided to the County by the
Family Stress Center.
BACKGROUND:
In November, 1988 the federal government provided a grant of
approximately $69, 952 to the County to purchase a replacement
portable classroom for a Head Start class which meets at the
Cambridge Community Center, but is operated by the Family Stress
Center. To date, some $57,983 . 91 of this money remains unspent,
due to delays in the Office of the State Architect, which must
approve the plans for the classroom and due to the intervention
of the October, 1989 earthquake, which preempted the State' s
priorities.
The federal government is now threatening to require that the
funds be returned to them if they are not spent by March 31 ,
1990. It is unclear whether having the County transfer the

remaining funds to the Family Stress Center will be acceptable to
the federal government. If it turns out that the federal
government will not extend the deadline and will approve the
transfer of the funds to the Family Stress Center then the above
recommendation will allow such a transfer. If the federal
government will not accept such a transfer or extends the
deadline for the expenditure of the funds then it will be
unnecessary to execute such a contract. The final action that is
taken in this regard will be reported to the Board of Supervisors
as soon as the federal government provided a final answer to the
County. However, since the Board of Supervisors will not be
meeting again before March 31 , 1990 it is recommended that the
Board approve this recommendation in case such a contract is
needed in order to preserve the use of the funds.
