Personnel : Though a private non-profit could administer state <br /> funds it would not be required to comply with the County's pay <br /> plan. However, it would not be desirable, in that the private <br /> non-profit would be competing with Orange County in the same <br /> labor market, for the private non-profit to pay at a higher <br /> • scale than DSS. The contract between the County and the pri- <br /> vate non-profit could require parity of the two organization's <br /> pay pl'ans. <br /> 5. Childrien's Protective Services: Currently, referrals to the <br /> DSS Day Care Unit from DSS's Children's PrOtective Services <br /> Unit receive priority consideration. An element of the con- <br /> ' <br /> tract could require continued priority attention for these <br /> children. <br /> • <br /> 6. '.Fundin : A private non-prafit corporation would require an <br /> estimated additional $65,500 in operating funds over and above <br /> the current Title XX day care staff funds that is proposed <br /> trans-*red to the corporation. To insure continuity of cur- <br /> rent service delivery, any decision to endorse a private non- <br /> profit Icorporation should be contingent upon the procurement <br /> of a written commitment from private sources for funds necessary <br /> for operation for a minimum of three years. <br /> V. SUMMARY <br /> Four models of day care service delivery have been examined in this report. <br /> If a decision is made to enhance day care delivery to address not only needs of <br /> current Title XX1populations but also day care needs of the community as a whole <br /> then three models are to be considered, <br /> 1. Maintenance of current Day Care Unit in DSS at an enhanced service <br /> level (Model #2). <br /> 2. The creation of a new county department, separate from DSS, to <br /> deliver enhanced child care services (Model #3) . <br /> 3. The formation of a private non-profit corporation to deliver <br /> enhanced child care services (Model #4) . <br /> Models #2 and #3 Would require expansion of current day care staff levels and <br /> additional estim4ed expenditures of $30,300 and $36,500 respectively. <br /> Model #4, the formation of a private non-profit corporation, would be <br /> separate from county government but would receive, through contract with the <br /> County, the $74,414 in Title XX staff funds currently allocated to the Day Care <br /> Unit in DSS. Additional estimated funds of $65,500 would be required to meet <br /> estimated operating costs. <br />
