. III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
On May 18, 1995, the Grantee (Community Services Department) was
formally notified by Family Stress Cen`ter' s Board of Directors that
they will terminate their Head Start contract effective June 30,
1995, prior to the start of the 1995-96 program year.
Community Services Department is obligated to continue provision of
all services to Head Start eligible families and children and will
directly operate the Central County program for the 1995-96 program
year. The Department will prepare and issue a Request for Proposals
to obtain proposals from eligible nonprofit agencies interested in
operating the program beginning with the 1996-97 program year. It
is anticipated that the RFP process will take approximately eight
to ten months . Operation of the program by the Department during
the RFP process will allow adequate time for transition of program
services to the new Delegate Agency beginning with the 1996-97
program year.
In order to continue services after July 31, 1995, and through
completion of the RFP process, the Community Services Department
must contract with current all necessary Central County Head Start
Program staff. A separate Board Order will be submitted requesting
approval of the contracts, in County Counsel approved format, when
negotiations are complete.
