EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: A. Boungjaktha (7/5/23)
PURPOSE: Approve and authorize the County Executive to execute Interlocal Agreement (CLA) - Early Support Services.
BACKGROUND: The Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) Program is the State Lead Agency for early support services. Snohomish County, as a County Lead Agency (CLA), is responsible for the coordination of the local county ESIT system and management of state and federal Part C funds designated for children 0-3 years of age who have developmental delays and disabilities.
This new DCYF contract (24-1107), covers the period of July 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024.The contract includes 0-3 State Special Education funding, state Education Legacy Trust Account (ELTA) funding, and the annual federal Part C grant. Federal Part C ARPA funding is also included with three different designations: ARPA rollover from FY23, ARPA funding to support training for a new data management system (ACORN), and ARPA Extension funds. All ARPA funds must be expended by September 30, 2023. This contract also includes CLA funding for enhanced training, planning, and support associated with a new ESIT Statewide Monitoring System that is currently in development. SCC 4.26.025 authorizes approval in amounts up to $50,000 greater than the amount approved in the Grant Work Plan (GWP). Motion 22-417 approved the 2023 GWP. Because this Interlocal Agreement exceeds the amount in the GWP by more than $50,000, Council approval is required.
