CONSENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

In 2002, the Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) consolidating the administration of local Child Support Services and established the Santa Cruz/San Benito County Regional Department of Child Support Services. It should be noted that the regionalization of the two counties has resulted in an improvement in the federal performance measures to date, including, but not limited to cost effectiveness.

The Regional Director is proposing a renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding which clarifies the counties’ responsibilities, mutual indemnifications and extension provision.
