Garcia, Chair, Board of Courty Commissi ners FROM: Judy A. Griego, Director Human Ser rtmkikl (k (Lop v ces RE: Amendment #1 to the AmeriCorps Grant between the Weld County Board of Commissioners on Behalf of the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps and Serve Colorado Enclosed for Board approval is Amendment #1 to the Department's Employment Services AmeriCorps Grant. This item was reviewed under the Board's Pass -Around Memorandum dated September 17, 2013, and approved for placement on the Board's Agenda. The Board previously approved the submission of the AmeriCorps grant in July of 2013. The grant application has been accepted by Serve Colorado and is now seeking signatures in order to fully execute the AmeriCorps grant and is referred to as Grant Amendment #1. AmeriCorps State funding is awarded in three (3) year cycles. Given this fact, the contract that is currently under consideration is an amendment to the contract that was signed and approved last year. This amendment extends last year's contract from December 2013 to December 2014, increases the total award to include both program years (PY 2012 and PY 2013) and introduces the two (2) additional expectations (Days of Service and Disaster Readiness). It should be noted that the Days of Service expectation is to coordinate such activities within Weld County and not to attend larger events outside of Weld County. The amendment represents an increase to the total award amount, capturing last year's award and this year's award. Funding for FY15 will increase upon executing the continuation grant for year three (3) of the three (3) year grant cycle.
