Board moves Alpine County 1st 5 under CEO's office; MOU shows small net incoming funds
Summary
Supervisors approved a renewed MOU moving Alpine County 1st 5 under the CEO's office, reducing the administrative fee from 7.5% to 5% and clarifying fiscal-agent and reporting language; staff said the change produces approximately $31,000 in incoming funds when administrative fee and insurance pass-throughs are counted.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a renewed and restated memorandum of understanding moving Alpine County 1st 5 into the county CEO's office for administrative oversight.
JT (Jason) Shevall, presenting the MOU, said the change will reduce the administrative fee from 7.5% to 5% and remove references to Health & Human Services; the MOU also clarifies fiscal-agent language and updates the contact/notice sections and "approved as to form" language to include interim county counsel. Shevall corrected an earlier fiscal-impact figure in the agenda packet, saying the correct net effect is ~ $31,000 coming into the county (including an $11,000 line item in the county's cap and an estimated $15,588 in administrative fee revenue plus a $4,000 insurance pass-through).
Amy Broadhurst, executive director of 1st 5 Alpine, described recent program activity: a mobile family resource center, monthly outreach to three county areas, services to roughly 36 families (estimating 58 children served), and partnerships with neighboring counties for early-learning events. Supervisors expressed support for the move and asked whether anything would be lost by moving oversight; Shevall and Broadhurst said the change should increase clarity and streamline financial processing.
The board approved the MOU unanimously.
