Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Since June 7, 2019, Rane Community Development (Rane) has been providing grant writing, meeting facilitation, and consulting to the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP).
The CCP approved their FY 2024-25 budget on February 16, 2024 (CCP Item 24-0352). Part of the CCP budget is Professional Services, which includes funding for Rane. The Board of Supervisors approved and accepted the CCP budget on June 25, 2024, with Legistar file 24-0395.
Rane’s previous agreement ended on June 30, 2024. Probation wishes to continue services with Rane for meeting facilitation and consulting and, to minimize downtime, desires to make Rane’s new agreement retroactively effective to July 1, 2024. A draft agreement was sent to the vendor on June 10, 2024, and the contract process was moved along as efficiently as possible, with a Board of Supervisors date scheduled as soon as practicable.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could not approve the agreement and provide direction to Probation to find alternatives for the services Rane provides.
