FY 2017-18 Orange County Health <br /> Department Family Success Alliance <br /> Outside Agency Performance <br /> Agreement for Empowerment, Inc. <br /> PURPOSE: To ratify two Family Success Alliance outside agency performance agreements <br /> approved by the County Manager over the summer break. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Orange County Board of Commissioners has delegated approval and <br /> signature authority for agreements, contracts and grants to the County Manager in amounts up <br /> to $250,000 for construction contracts and up to $90,000 for general contracts and agreements. <br /> The Board of County Commissioners must approve and the Board Chair must sign all contracts <br /> where the Manager has not been delegated authority. <br /> Over the course of the Board of County Commissioners' summer break, the 2017-18 Orange <br /> County Health Department Family Success Alliance Outside Agency Performance Agreements <br /> for Freedom House Recovery Center and Empowerment, Inc. approached approval deadlines. <br /> The agreement amounts were $156,415.69 and $203,759.27, respectively. These agreements <br /> are the Navigator Agreements for which the Health Department requested $378,119 in its FY <br /> 2017-18 Annual Operating Budget Contract Services Funding Request. That same amount was <br /> appropriated by the Board of County Commissioners as part of the FY 2017-18 Commissioner <br /> Approved Budget. The Manager approved and signed the outside agency performance <br /> agreements thereby minimizing delay to the services provided by Freedom House Recovery <br /> Center and Empowerment, Inc. <br /> Attachment 1 is the signed FY 2017-18 Orange County Health Department Family Success <br /> Alliance Outside Agency Performance Agreement for Freedom House Recovery Center. <br />
