SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
This amendment adds funding to provide project leadership and coordination for the Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) Program. On April 7, 2015 your Board approved an agreement between the Department of Social Services and their counterparts in San Benito and Santa Cruz counties to develop and implement protocols for prevention and intervention services for children who are victims, or at risk, of commercial sexual exploitation. Under that agreement Monterey County is the fiscal agent. This amendment adds CSEC program funding to the training agreement with CSU Fresno Foundation for the development of protocols and youth training services in coordination with our community partners in San Benito and Santa Cruz counties.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Auditor-Controller and Purchasing have reviewed and approved this amendment. County Counsel has approved the amendment as to form.
FINANCING:
This amendment is funded by State CSEC program funds. Santa Cruz and San Benito counties will be billed for their share of project costs. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues in SOCOO5 are included in the FY 2014-15 Adopted Budget. Approval of this action has no impact on the County General Fund.
