BACKGROUND:
|
Over the last several years, San Mateo County has seen an economic downturn and an increase in clients needing assistance in obtaining employment. Since 1994, the State Department of Rehabilitation and the San Mateo County Human Services Agency (HSA) have worked together to provide employment and training services to the disabled population in San Mateo County.
|
|
|
Pursuant to the three year Agreement, the County receives funding from the State each fiscal year to provide vocational assessment, employment preparation, job development and placement services to San Mateo County residents who have significant physical and psychiatric disabilities, and are not receiving services through San Mateo County Mental Health. Consumers are served jointly by HSA and the State Department of Rehabilitation.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
The Agreement with the Department of Rehabilitation appropriates funds from the State to the County for FY 2007-08 through FY 2009-10 so that services to San Mateo County residents with physical and psychiatric disabilities can continue under the HSA Coop Program.
|
|
|
County Counsel has approved this Agreement as to form and the Department of Rehabilitation has been provided with the County’s certificate of insurance. The County is the Contractor under this Agreement.
|
|
|
FISCAL IMPACT:
|
The amount of the Agreement is $855,414. The term of this Agreement is from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010, a period of three years. The amount of $855,414 is to be allocated equally in the amount of $285,138 for each of the three years. Funding will be included in the 2007-08 Tentatively Adopted Budget and will be included in the FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10 Recommended Budgets. There is no Net County Cost.
