Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
On December 17, 2019, the County of El Dorado (County) Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted and authorized Resolution 236-2019 (File ID 19-1769) establishing the Commission to improve outcomes for youth and families by providing coherent and effective support within the County. The Commission coordinates an integrated, transparent, and data-driven system of services so that vulnerable youth residing in El Dorado County have access to the social, emotional, educational, or health services they need in order to thrive. The Commission is comprised of nine (9) County Board appointed commission members and operates under the jurisdiction of the Board and EDCOE.
On at least an annual basis, EDCOE advises the Board on issues relating to children and youth in the community, particularly vulnerable youth receiving services from County agencies or community-based organization. To support the Commission’s efforts, HHSA Public Health desires to enter into Funding Out Agreement 7593 with EDCOE to outline their partnership in Commission activity support, and to pass-through Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to EDCOE to expand the Commission’s capacity to provide youth services.
This Funding Out Agreement establishes the foundation for the coordination and collaboration between HHSA Public Health and EDCOE to meet the needs of high-risk children, youth, and families served under the Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
Should the Board decline to approve this Agreement, EDCOE will continue to provide Commission services, without the additional funding pass through from HHSA Public Health that will allow expanded services.
