REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Department of Social Services (DSS) to address budgetary needs caused by the increase in Foster Care placements, primarily in the Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP), and an increase in expenditures in DSS Org 5610 due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Approval of the recommended actions will provide sufficient appropriations for the Department of Social Services to address increased workload and issue State and Federal mandated payments. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions. If the recommended actions are not approved, the Department will not have sufficient appropriations to address increased workload and issue State and Federal mandated payment through the end of the fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Recommended action 1 will increase appropriations and estimated revenues in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children- Foster Care Org 6410 to fund the increase in STRTP placements. The estimated cost increase ($986,510) will be fully offset with State ($986,510) revenues.
