Background: On February 14, 2012, the Board adopted Resolution No. 019-2012 authorizing the execution of Agreement 12B-5807 with the California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) in the amount of $631,050 for the period January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. On June 16, 2012, the Board adopted Resolution No. 064-2012 authorizing the execution of Amendment 1 to Agreement 12B-5807, increasing the maximum agreement amount from $631,050 to $1,085,461 with no change to the term. The Resolution further authorizes the Agency Director, or successor, or the Chief Assistant Director, or successor, to continue to administer Agreement 12B-5807 as amended and execute subsequent documents relating to said Agreement, including one or more amendments thereto which do not affect the dollar amount or the term, to sign subsequent required fiscal and programmatic reports, and to perform any and all administrative responsibilities in relationship to said Agreement, contingent upon approval by County Counsel and Risk Management.
Reason for Recommendation: Amendment 2 to Agreement 12B-5807 allocates an additional $50,000 for direct program activities, program expenditures and Information Technology (IT) automation related to the implementation and operation of CSD's Combined Operating Report Engine (CORE). No later than thirty (30) days following the execution of the Amendment, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) will submit an Automated Supplemental Allocation Expenditure Plan to CSD detailing the amounts to be expended on direct program activities and CORE related IT costs, if any. LIHEAP services have historically been in great demand in the County, and high-energy costs render them even more critical to the many frail, vulnerable residents who are on fixed incomes.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Board Clerk to provide HHSA Contracts Unit at 3057 Briw Road with:
1) Two (2) certified resolutions.
2) Two (2) certified minute orders.
3) Two (2) originals of Amendment 2 to Agreement 12B-5807 signed by the Chair.
HHHSA to distribute as appropriate and return one fully executed Agreement to the Board Clerk.
