To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Crystal Markytan, Social Services Director
Subject: Approve Contract between County of Lake and The Regents of the University of California for Training Services in the amount of $126,480, from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, and authorize the Chair to sign.
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The University of California Davis Campus (UC Davis) provides essential training and all related materials for Lake County Department of Social Services (LCDSS) employees. Trainings cover various topics including Confidentiality and Ethics in Human Services, Civil Rights, Welfare Fraud- Prevention and Detection, Accounting and Fiscal trainings, and even Field Safety Training. Many of these courses are required in order to comply with State regulations. The trainings not required by State law provide valuable information that would not be readily available or cost effective without the UC Davis contract. Because the vast majority of trainings are held at LCDSS, there are no venue costs to provide, and no meal, travel, or lodging reimbursements are necessary for employees attending. In fiscal year 17/18, LCDSS held 28 UC Davis training sessions, and in both 18/19 and 19/20, LCDSS held 30 UC Davis training sessions. This renewal contract is for 32 training units to be used in fiscal year 20/21. UC Davis has included a 7% Cost Share which reduces the contract amount by $9,520 from last fiscal year’s contract.
