Body
Date of BOCC Meeting: June 11, 2018
Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to reduce the child care budget by $16,362,968 because Durham County has now been fully integrated into the State NC FAST system for child care. Moving forward Durham County will no longer issue child care payments as this is a state function. NC FAST includes a Provider Self Service Portal where providers accept children into their care, update rates for services and record attendance.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Goal 2: Health and Well-being for All which decrease health disparities within the community and Goal 3: Safe Community to improve outcomes for vulnerable, children, youth and adults.
Resource Persons: William Rose, Director and Rhonda Stevens, Assistant Director
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 18BCC000041 to reduce the Social Services budget $16.3 million dollars for Fiscal Year 2017-18 Child Care Subsidy.
