MEMORANDUM
TO: Judy Griego - Director
FROM: Lesley Cobb - Child Welfare Financial Supervisor
DATE: June 23, 2015 (Revised July 17, 2015)
SUBJECT: Request for 2015-2016 SFY out-of-home provider rate increase.
Counties are authorized, with a methodology that is approved by the State Department, to negotiate
rates, services, and outcomes with providers to provide out-of-homes services to youth in custody. As
approved on the methodology, Weld County utilizes State base anchor rates in Trails to pay Residential
Child Care Facilities (RCCF) and individually negotiates foster care rates on a needs based care system
that is tied to the Weld County rate table.
The General Assembly in the 2015 legislative session approved a 1.7%increase to out-of-home provider
rates for the FY 2015-2016. Due to the legislative approval and based on the current approved rate
methodology, I am requesting that effective July 1, 2015, a 1.7%increase be passed on to all Residential
Child Care Facilities, Child Placement Agencies, and Weld County Certified Foster Care/Kinship
providers. Currently Weld County has approximately 122 children that would be eligible for the
increase. The estimated cost to initiate the 1.7%rate increase would be approximately$49,000.00 per
year funded through a combination of Federal, State and County dollars.
Also attached are the contract templates for the out-of-home providers. These have been reviewed by
County Attorney Frank Haug and have been approved for our use for the 2015-2015 contract year.
Please let me know if you have questions.
