BACKGROUND:

On June 5, 2007 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution Number 068756 authorizing a three year Agreement with the City of Daly City for the period of

July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010, to provide Core services, (safety net and referral services in San Mateo County). However, the Agreement with the City of Daly City only included the first year funding. The Agreement with the City of Daly City needs to be amended in order to add the second and third year funding for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2008-09 and 2009-10 to avoid interruption of services to San Mateo County residents.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Daly City is one of the seven (7) Core Services Agencies, which provides services to the residents of San Mateo County with information and referral, emergency assistance, case management and other services. These Core services provide access to the County’s Human Services delivery system and serves as part of the network to prevent homelessness. The Core Services Agencies, including Daly City, have met their performance measures in the past years with the Human Services Agency.

The Contractor has assured compliance with the County’s Contractor Employee Jury Services Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination, equal benefits and jury service policy.

This Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the County Counsel’s office and Risk Management has approved the Contractor’s Insurance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The term of the Agreement remains the same, July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010. This Amendment adds $273,142, for a total obligation of $405,735; $273,142 is

Net County Cost. Appropriations have been included in the FY 2008-09 tentatively Adopted Budget and the FY 2009-10 Recommended Budget.
