BY ,DEPUTY
This agreement is to being entered into by and 'between the State Department
of Health and Welfare Agency Data Center and the County of Contra Costa for
the purpose of the County providing personal services to the (SACS) Branch by
loaning an employee to serve in the capacity of County Conversion Consultant,
pursuant to Government Code Section 19050 . 8 .
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Statewide Child Support System project is not successful, the State
will lose as much as two (2) million dollars per month of reimbursement of
welfare monies collected and be subject to fiscal sanctions from the Federal
Government which would, in turn, negatively impact the Counties .
Contra Costa County would also lose the first hand knowledge and expertise
gained, by one of its own staff members, which would assist in a smoother
transition during conversion to SACSS.
