DATE: May 25, 2021
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: First Amendment to Retroactive Revenue Agreement with Fresno County
Superintendent of Schools for Truancy Intervention Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute first Amendment to Agreement No. 21-008 with Fresno County Superintendent of Schools for the Truancy Intervention Program, effective upon execution with no change to the term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 and increasing the maximum by $164,021 to a total of $662,224.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The recommended action will add Sanger Unified School District into the agreement with Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS). This will provide an increase in the partial funding for the two Deputy Probation Officer (DPO) positions providing services to support the Truancy Intervention Program (TIP). The recommended amendment would increase revenue by about 25% over the potential 5-year contract term. Due to the collaborative nature of this agreement, the Department recommends the Board deviate from the County policy requiring full cost recovery (including indirect costs). This practice is consistently applied to similar agreements with other school districts. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If item is not approved, Sanger Unified School District (SUSD) would not be added into the TIP agreement, as the Probation Department would not have sufficient funding to provide services to SUSD.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The total salary and benefit cost for 2 DPOs to provide services to support TIP is $289,674. In addition, vehicle and radio costs associated with these positions are estimated at $12,250 per year. For the 2020-2021 school year, FCSS will provide a total of $103,471 towards the costs...
