FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.  The project can be accomplished with existing staff.

On March 17, 1998 (6), the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Supervisor Cox’s recommendation to provide needed services and pursue options for transitional living programs for foster youth.

Approval of today’s recommendations will help resolve the serious housing needs of approximately 52 emancipated foster youth as well as provide funding for emergency personal needs, text book assistance, vocational training, employment searches and bus passes.

4.         SUBJECT:      CHILDCARE CENTRALIZED ELIGIBLITY LIST

(Supv. Dist:  All)

OVERVIEW:

San Diego County has been in the forefront of childcare service delivery to low-income residents through the development of innovative programs to expand and improve childcare resources, including establishment of a Centralized Eligibility List.  On January 13, 1998 (4), the Board of Supervisors authorized a competitive procurement for the design of a web-based application for Centralized Eligibility List services to consolidate and expand access to local waiting lists for subsidized childcare.  The Centralized Eligibility List was implemented in September 1999, making San Diego the first county to offer parents direct access via the Internet to a single registry for subsidized childcare.  With the Centralized Eligibility List, parents have easier and faster access to subsidized programs.  Childcare subsidy agencies also utilize the list to quickly identify families to fill their vacancies.

The local childcare Alternate Payment Providers – the YMCA Childcare Resource Service, Child Development Associates and the County Health and Human Services Agency – have been operating the Centralized Eligibility List on a limited basis under a series of short-term agreements.  In January 2000, planning for a Centralized Eligibility List Consortium was initiated with the goal to expand membership over the next three years to as many as 40 local childcare subsidy agencies who will continue to support the ongoing operation and fiscal maintenance of the Centralized Eligibility List on a long-term basis.  Board authorization is requested for the County to join with other partner agencies to establish the Consortium.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are included in the FY 2000-2002 Operational Plan.  The funding source is the County Expense Claim.  If approved, this request will result in FY 2000-01 costs and revenue of $10,800, and FY 2001-02 costs and revenue of $21,600.  There will be no change to net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1.   Approve and authorize the Health and Human Services Agency to join with other partner agencies to establish the Centralized Eligibility List (CEL) Consortium.

2.   Approve and authorize the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency to enter into a cooperative agreement with other CEL Consortium partner agencies to provide for the ongoing administrative and automation support to operate the CEL in accordance with the CEL Business Plan for the initial period of January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2001, with four one year options through June 30, 2005, subject to the approval of the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency; authorize the Director to amend the Cooperative Agreement as necessary to reflect changes in  funding allocations and service requirements.

3.   Authorize the payment of the CEL Consortium annual maintenance fee as determined annually by the Consortium for the term of the cooperative agreement and any authorized extensions, to be paid in quarterly installments, subject to the annual County Operational Plan process.

The incentive funds may be used for activities and services that contribute to the achievement of CalWORKs program goals and objectives and for expenditures that support the administration of the program. Expenditures totaling approximately $38 million have already been authorized by the Board of Supervisors for services designed to assist families moving from welfare to self-sufficiency.  The Agency has allocated $8.5 million for initiatives identified by staff and the communities in each of its six geographic service regions.

This item requests Board approval of a two-year spending plan with a projected cost of $1,105,000 for eight North Central Region initiatives.  The plan is designed to strengthen the CalWORKs program and ensure more families become self-sufficient, expand public/private partnerships with the communities and neighborhoods that help CalWORKs families, support families moving from welfare to work, and increase outreach services.

Also requested is approval to allocate an additional $1.5 million of CalWORKs incentive funds, separate from the regional allocation, for county-wide expansion of the CHOICE Program.  The CHOICE program is an intensive, community-based program focused on assisting troubled youth.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Partial funding of $321,820 for the two-year $2,605,000 spending plan is included in the Fiscal Year 2000-02 Adopted Operational Plan.  If approved, this request will result in additional costs and revenue of $1,039,280 in FY 2000-01 and $1,243,900 in FY 2001-02.

SECOND CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE
AUTHORITY FOR THE PUBLIC GUARDIAN TO SERVE AS TRUSTEE AND INCREASE INDIGENT BURIAL RATES

(Supv. Dist:  All)

OVERVIEW:

On November 14, 2000 (2), your Board introduced Ordinance for further Board consideration on December 5, 2000.

The Health and Human Services Agency’s Aging & Independence Services administers programs that benefit seniors and the disabled. These programs include the Public Administrator/Public Guardian.  The Public Guardian acts as conservator of estates for those disabled individuals in danger of losing assets. If approved, this request will authorize an amendment to the County Administrative Code to include in the list of duties performed by the Public Guardian the responsibility to act as a Trustee when the court finds that no other qualified person is willing to act as Trustee.

The Public Administrator acts as the County’s Indigent Burial Officer to arrange at County cost for the disposition of the bodies of deceased persons who have no estate and no family who are able to afford providing the disposition. This request will authorize an increase to the rates paid to participating mortuaries that provide indigent burials.  These rates have not been changed since 1980.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are included in the FY2000-2002 Operational Plan. If approved this request will result in Trustee expenditures being 100% offset by fees paid directly from the associated trust. The funding source for the increased indigent disposition rates ($80,000) is General Revenue. There is no net County cost increase or staff years required.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT

This request will result in a positive impact on business because it increases rates paid by the County to participating mortuaries for cremation and burial services.
