RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an interagency agreement with Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority, a public agency, in an amount not to exceed $3,457,845 to provide In-Home Supportive Services to In-Home Supportive Services recipients for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

BACKGROUND:
On August 13, 2024, the Board approved item C.31 authorizing an agreement with Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority for a term of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
In March 1998, the Board of Supervisors enacted Ordinance Number 98-14, establishing the Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority as an independent public agency pursuant to California Welfare and Institutions Code section 12301.6. While the Public Authority is an independent public agency providing service to the County, it also receives services from County Departments. This dual relationship requires an agreement that establishes the respective obligations and responsibilities of the County and the Public Authority.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the proposed action not be approved by the Board of Supervisors, in-home caregiving to County In-Home Supportive Services recipients provided through the Public Authority may not be delivered.
