Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
Pursue County Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Agencies.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item does not impact Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The estimated annual cost of $98,173, which includes the bilingual pay, is fully reimbursed by the Children and Families Commission’s (Commission) Trust Fund. Adequate appropriation and revenue have been included in the Commission’s 2019-20 budget and will be included in future recommended budgets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Commission is recommending an amendment to the employment contract with Tania Offerrall to add Bilingual Compensation language to the contract to further assist customers in need of this service.
The Commission uses California’s tax on cigarettes and tobacco products to provide services for the State’s youngest residents and their families. The Commission collaborates with the community and child-serving agencies to fulfill their mission of promoting, supporting, and enhancing the health and early development of children prenatal through age five and their families.
On January 23, 2001 (Item No. 59), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved Contract No. 01-50 with the Commission to maintain a cooperative working relationship to effectively and efficiently implement the Commission’s mission. The terms and conditions of the contract require Human Services (HS) to provide the Commission with support for the administration of staff benefits, review and act on Board agenda items and personnel-related issues, and provide employment contract administration services. The contract has been amended several times to revise language regarding services or to add services provided by the County. The Commission fully reimburses the County for the cost of these services.
PROCUREMENT
A procurement was not performed at this time as this is a current contract employee and the contract is presented solely to update the compensation language of the contract.
On April 17, 2018 (Item No. 24), the Board approved Contract No. 18-171, between the Commission and Tania Offerrall, Staff Analyst II, effective April 28, 2018, for a total annual cost of $85,347. Approval of the recommended amendment will update compensation language to add bilingual compensation language, with no change to the contract period.
