The $5,143 increase in Federal funds payable by the State to El Dorado County under this Contract has been included in the FY 2009-10 County Budget.
Reason for Recommendation:
On February 24, 2009 the Board adopted Resolution No. 034-2009 authorizing the execution of Contract 09B-5508 with the California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) in the amount of $1,521,911 during the term January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
Amendment 1 to Contract 09B-5508 allocates an additional $5,143, $3,881 for provision of Energy Assistance and $1,262 for provision of Weatherization Assistance services to eligible residents of El Dorado and Alpine Counties. This additional funding represents El Dorado County's share of carryover funds from previous years. LIHEAP services have historically been in great demand, and high energy costs render them even more critical to the many frail, vulnerable residents on fixed incomes.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Board Clerk to provide Human Services, at Briw Road, with three (3) certified resolutions and three (3) copies of Amendment 1 to Contract No. 09B-5508 signed by the Chairman.
Human Services to distribute as appropriate and return one fully executed Contract to the Board Clerk.
