MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 11, 2020
TO: Board of County Commissioners — Pass -Around
FR: Jamie Ulrich, Director, Human Services
RE: Core Services Program Plan — Second Year of a Three -Year Plan
(SFY2020-21)
Please review and indicate if you would like a work session prior to placing this item on the Board's agenda.
Request Board Approval of the Departments' Core Services Program Plan — Second Year of a Three -Year Plan,
SFY 2020-21. The Core Services Program Plan has been developed in accordance with State Department of Human
Services rules governing Core Services funding. This Plan is for year two of a three-year Core Plan cycle and is effective
July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. The Department's allocation for year 2020-21 is $3,776,911.00, which is an increase
of $107,453.00 over 2019-20. The distribution of the allocation is based upon prior years' data and anticipated usage, with
the Core Plan strictly reflecting the allocation. The Department was previously approved for Program Area 3 (PA -3
Prevention and Intervention) and will not be submitting for any changes. The Department is submitting a Core II Plan
which requests an additional $600,000.00. While additional funds are not currently available, the State has advised that it
is best to have a Core II Plan on file should funds become available so that Weld County receives consideration. If the
funds are not made available, the Department will not expend the $600,000.00.
If the proposed Core Services Program Plan is approved, the Plan will be administered in conformity with its provisions
and the provisions of State Department rules.
We have been advised by the State that only one signature is required for submission of the Plan for the second year of the
three-year Plan. I do not recommend a Work Session. I recommend approval of this Plan and authorize the Director to
sign.
