Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) recommending the Board approve Agreement for Services 4532 with El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) to provide Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) activities.
Child Abuse Prevention Councils are required under WIC 18983, which mandates that counties establish a CAPC in order to carry out specific legislated functions, including child abuse prevention and intervention programs. On April 9, 2002, the Board established a CAPC and designated the Council as the Children’s Trust Fund Commission, pursuant to WIC 18966. In 2009, the County began contracting with EDCOE to coordinate CAPC services. CAPC acts as an independent organization, functioning within County government, pursuant to WIC 18983.5. The CAPC educational and training activities support child abuse prevention efforts throughout the County.
Services provided through this Agreement are funded in part by the Community-based Child Abuse Prevention allocation; the Promoting Safe and Stable Families allocation; the Child Abuse, Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment allocation; and the Children’s Trust Fund allocation. The CAPC Coordinator develops, coordinates, and implements said services as they relate to the allocation mandates.
HHSA recommends terminating Agreement for Services 095-S1811, which is the existing CAPC Agreement with services provided through EDCOE. The new agreement brings the term into alignment with the term of the funding streams.
ALTERNATIVES:
Disapproval of Agreement for Services 4532 will result in an inability to meet funding source mandates. Disapproval also will negatively impact HHSA’s ability to engage in community outreach to support child abuse prevention.
