RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, in October 2007, the County of San Mateo purchased a triplex property for transitional housing to house former foster youth; and

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its consideration and acceptance of an Agreement with YFES, for the purpose of Transitional Housing Placement Plus program (THP-Plus) to reduce homelessness by providing transitional housing and providing stability to the youth; and

WHEREAS, the Human Services Agency wishes to enter into an Agreement with YFES in the amount of $247,050 for the term of June 25, 2008 through June 30, 2009 to provide programmatic services to support former foster youth and prepare them for self-sufficiency; and

WHERES, it is in the County’s best interest to waive the RFP process because YFES has resources to immediately begin services and have the expertise and experience to provide all the support services that the residents need to ensure a successful transition. The Human Services Agency will conduct an RFP for services beginning July 1, 2009; and

WHEREAS, this Board has been presented with a form of such Agreement and has examined and approved it as to both form and content and desires to enter into the same.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that:

A) The Request for Proposal process is waived; and
