Commissioners approve three Children & Youth Services program renewals with Dickinson Center
Summary
Nancy Baker, CYS director, briefed commissioners on renewals for Family Resource Network, Positive Parenting and Parents as Teachers; the county match percentages were stated and commissioners consolidated the three items into one motion and approved them.
Nancy Baker, director of Children & Youth Services, presented on Aug. 6 three renewal contracts with Dickinson Center for (a) the Family Resource Network, (b) the Positive Parenting program and (c) the Parents as Teachers program.
Baker described the Family Resource Network as a collaborative stakeholder board that delivers surveys and programs across the county; the parenting programs serve families from birth through age 18 and include group programming and casework. Commissioners were reminded that the state budget sets the contract 'not to exceed' amounts; the county’s share was stated as 20% for the Family Resource Network and 5% each for the two parenting programs. The board consolidated the three renewals into one motion and approved them without further amendment.
Baker and commissioners emphasized program reach and the county match obligations; detailed contract amounts were presented as budgeted 'not to exceed' figures in the state budget rather than as discretionary county‑only amounts.
