Motion 22-112, approving and authorizing the Snohomish County Executive to execute the Interlocal Agreement County Lead Agency (CLA)-Early Intervention Services # 22-1189 with the State of Washington, Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF)
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Angie Ahn-Lee
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Lacey Harper
PURPOSE: Approve and authorize the County Executive to execute Interlocal Agreement CLA-Early Intervention Services
BACKGROUND: The Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) Program as the State Lead Agency for Early Intervention Services has been with the State Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF) as of July 1, 2018. Snohomish County is responsible for the coordination of the local county early intervention system and management of all state and federal Part C funds designated for children 0-3 years of age who have developmental delays and disabilities.
This DCYF contract amendment is for the FY 2021-22 to cover the period from Jan.1, 2022 and end July 31, 2022, which includes adjusted allocations for the 0-3 State Special Education funding, state ELTA funding as well as the federal Part C grants from the original contract amount. The State Special Education funding is expected to change as the monthly child counts change throughout the contract period and the per child rate will be adjusted based on the rates published by DCYF. In this second year of managing the State Special Education funds transferred from OSPI as of Sept. 1, 2020, DCYF continues to fine tune its allocation methodologies and contract plans for these funds, and will adjust the Special Education allocation amount in January and again after June, to true-up the allocation amount based on the actual numbers of children served in the FY 21-22.
This contract amendment also included the new federal Part C funding category for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The new Part C federal ARPA funding is available from January 2022 to July 31, 2022, provided with specific parameters for the use of funds. Any unused ARPA funds from this contract period will be likely to be reallocated in the next contract period FY22-23 with the next year’s contract.
SCC 2.10.010(28) authorizes the Executive to “approve grant documents (including but not limited to applications, certifications, contracts, and subsequent amendments) on behalf of the county for funds contributed to the county by grants that are included in a grant work plan approved by the county council by motion in accordance with SCC 4.26.025. SCC 4.26.025 also authorizes approval in amounts up to $50,000 greater than the amount stated in the approved Grant Work Plan(GWP). Motion 20-411 approved the 2021 Department of Human Services Department Grant Work Plan. Because the amount of the Interlocal Agreement exceeds the amount included in the GWP by more than $50,000, Council approval is required.
