RESOLUTION: (A) WAIVING THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) PROCESS; (B) AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH FRESH LIFELINES FOR YOUTH (FLY) TO PROVIDE LAW-RELATED EDUCATIONAL AND CASE MANAGEMENT/MENTORING TO YOUTH WHO ARE INVOLVED IN OR IMPACTED BY GANGS, FOR THE TERM JANUARY 2, 2009 TO JUNE 30, 2009, IN THE AMOUNT OF $120,000. DUE TO A GRANT ALREADY AWARDED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN DECEMBER OF 2008, THERE IS NO NEW NET COUNTY COST

 

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

WHEREAS, On November 17, 2008, California Corrections Standards Authority (CSA) released applications for one-time, short term grants to specifically address gang issues. In connection with an unanticipated surplus of Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG) funds, Grant requests must be at least $200,000 and services funded must be completed by June 30, 2009; and

 

WHEREAS, On December 9, 2008, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution Number 069825 where the Probation Department was awarded a total of $229,733 in JABG Grant Funds, of the total; FLY has been allocated $120,000; and

 

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its consideration and acceptance an Agreement with FLY for the purpose of providing services targeted at gang-involved and/or impacted probation youth; and

 
 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the County’s best interest to waive the RFP process because given the very quick turnaround for returning the application back to the CSA, and for setting up Agreements with providers, FLY is already providing services and will be able to expand their services to comprehensively address gang involvement; and

 

WHEREAS, the term of this Agreement is January 2, 2009 through June 30, 2009 with a total obligation not to exceed $120,000; and

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

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that

A. The Request for Proposal process is waived; and

B. The President of this Board of Supervisors be, and is hereby, authorized and directed to execute said Agreement for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President’s signature thereto.
