RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Humboldt and Trinity Counties continuing the regionalization of Child Support Services.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Child Support Services (1380)
DISCUSSION:
The NCRDCSS was established December 15, 2015 to administer local Child Support Services in both Humboldt and Trinity counties. The regionalization allows for one Director, shared Administration, Staff and Attorneys for both counties, which has reduced payroll expenses and prevented layoffs without any reduction to the quality of service provided to the public.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Child Support is funded with state and federal funds, as a result, this request will not impact the Humboldt County General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing community-appropriate levels of service and facilitating public/private partnerships to solve problems.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Trinity County
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could choose not to approve the requested approval of the attached MOU. However, if that happens NCRDCSS will need to separate the two Child Support offices, hire a Director, an attorney and staff for the Trinity County office, as well as restructure the caseload.
