Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
This is an annual budgeted expense for services and support between the Humboldt County Informational Technology Division and NCR DCSS which allows the Child Support program to continue to function at a high level, meeting all state and federal requirements.
STAFFING IMPACT:
Narrative Explanation of Staffing Impact:
The renewal of this contract has no impact on staffing levels. Without the renewal, the NCR DCSS would not be unable to continue to function with the limited number of Information Technology staff supported by the Child Support payroll.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Framework.
Core Roles: Enforce laws and regulations to protect residents
New Initiatives: Provide community-appropriate levels of service
Strategic Plan: 4.4 - Attract and retain the best county employees
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
North Coast Regional Department of Child Support Services
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
This agreement allows NCR DCSS to continue to function and provide a high level of support and services. The alternative would be to not choose to renew the contract and seek Information Technology support from an alternate source, which would mean outsourcing funds and is not recommended.
