APPROVE CONTRACTS FOR CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION
PROGRAMS AND CHILD WELFARE DATA COLLECTION AND REPORTING
Dear Members of the Board:
As you will recall, on March 11, 2008 your Board authorized the Human Services
Department Director to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Child Abuse Prevention
and Intervention Programs and return to your Board on today’s agenda with
recommendations for the award of contracts. The proposed child abuse prevention,
intervention and treatment programs contribute to a shared vision of an effective
community wide collaboration to prevent child abuse and neglect and to enable all
children to live in safe, nurturing families.
The purpose of this letter is to request that your Board take the required actions in order
to execute nine separate agreements including the proposed child abuse prevention
and intervention services as well as renewed agreements for services related to data
collection and reporting for child welfare services. Funding for all nine agreements is
included in the Human Services Department’s proposed budget for FY 2008-09, and
represents no additional cost to the County.
Contracts for Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention
The Children’s Network Cabinet is responsible for making funding recommendations to
your Board regarding four funding streams administered by Human Services. These
funding streams provide support to community-based agencies for child abuse
prevention, intervention, and treatment services. Three of the funding streams are
allocated to counties by the State, including Promoting Safe & Stable Families (PSSF);
Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment (CAPIT) and Community Based
Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP). The third funding source, the Children’s Trust Fund
(CTF), is a local resource garnered from birth certificate fees.
On March 14, 2008, with your Board’s approval, Human Services, in conjunction with
the Children’s Network Cabinet, released an RFP to allocate these funding streams for
0482
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Agenda Date: June 24,2008
Title: Approve Contracts for Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention Programs and Child
Welfare Data Collection and Reporting
the next three-year period (July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2011). In response to the
RFP, Human Services received seven proposals from community-based organizations.
The Children’s Network Cabinet appointed a proposal review committee to evaluate the
proposals based upon quality of proposed services, cost effectiveness, ability to
leverage other funds, and ability to serve diverse target populations and geographic
areas of Santa Cruz County.
The Children’s Network Cabinet met on May 14, 2008 and voted to recommend that
your Board approve the following service contract awards from the funds that are
available for FY 2008-09, contingent upon the availability of State, Federal and County
CTF funds. The contracts will be considered for renewal for two additional years, based
on the contractor’s performance and the availability of funds.
1. Parents Center - $48,000 for FY 2008-09 to provide therapeutic supervised
visitation services in order to enhance successful family reunification.
2. Cabrillo College - $33,687 for FY 2008-09 to provide adoption promotion and
support services.
3. Youth Resource Bank - $33,687 for FY 2008-09 to oversee a flexible fund for
tangible support to families receiving Child Welfare family reunification or family
mainte na nce services .
4. United Way of Santa Cruz County - $16,991 for FY 2008-09 to enhance the
coordination and service integration strategies of the Children’s Network.
5. Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center - $603,532 for FY 2008-09 to
continue collaborating with Human Services and First 5 Santa Cruz County to
operate Families Together, a countywide Differential Response program that
provides prevention and early intervention services to families who have been
referred to Family and Children’s Services for suspected child abuse or neglect.
Of the total amount of this contract, $124,385 was awarded through the
Children’s Network RFP process. The remaining $479,147 has been committed
by First 5 Santa Cruz County to support the Families Together program through
a revenue agreement described in the following section.
Additional Differential Response Agreements
-
6. First 5 Revenue Agreement As stated above, First 5 Santa Cruz County has
committed $479,147 to the Human Services Department to continue supporting
Families Together differential response services in FY 2008-09. As detailed in
the attached revenue agreement, these funds will be received by Human
Services and will be sub-contracted in turn to Santa Cruz Community Counseling
Center through contract #5 described in the previous section. At this time,
0483
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Agenda Date: June 24,2008
Title: Approve Contracts for Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention Programs and Child
Welfare Data Collection and Reporting
Human Services requests your Board’s approval of the revenue agreement with
First 5 for FY 2008-09.
7. Child Welfare Services Outcome Improvement Funds - As your Board may
recall, Human Services also receives an allocation from the State for the Child
Welfare Services Outcome Improvement Project (CWSOIP). No county match is
required in order to accept these funds. Since FY 2005-06 the Department has
provided CWSOlP funds to Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center to support
a portion of the staffing and operational costs for the Differential Response
program.
In FY 2008-09, the amount of CWSOlP funds supporting the program will be
reduced from $223,924 to $88,924 due to a decrease in the CWSOlP allocation
from the State. As a result of this $135,000 reduction in financial support for
Families Together, it will be necessary for Santa Cruz Community Counseling
Center to discontinue subcontracts with La Manzana Community Resources,
Live Oak Family Resource Center, and Mountain Community Resources. These
subcontracts provided community-based short-term case management and
support services to families at low to moderate risk of child abuse. Due to the
reduction in funds, Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center will narrow its
focus to provide prevention/early intervention services only to those families
assessed as being at high risk of child abuse. At this time, Human Services is
requesting your Board’s approval of the agreement with Santa Cruz Community
Counseling Center in the amount of $88,924 to provide staffing and operational
costs for the Differential Response Program.
Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC)
In addition to the contracts outlined above, the Children’s Network RFP also included
$15,000 to be awarded to an organization to perform the core functions of a Child
Abuse Prevention Council and disseminate child abuse prevention messages (jncluding
mandated reporter training) to the community. For the past three years, the amount of
funds allocated for this purpose was $60,000; however, due to a reduction in state
allocations, the Children’s Network made a decision to reduce funding for
CAPC/primary prevention services in order to preserve services to families who are at
risk or already involved in the child welfare system.
For the reduced allocation of $15,000, Human Services received proposals from two
organizations, United Way of Santa Cruz County and Santa Cruz County Child Abuse
Prevention Council. Both of the proposals included a recommendation to merge with
the Children’s Network and to utilize the Children’s Network Cabinet as the new CAPC.
Because the Children’s Network has not yet had an opportunity to explore this option,
the Network recommends postponement of a contract recommendation at this time, in
order to give the Network an opportunity to discuss and consider this option. The
0484
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Welfare Data Collection and Reporting
Network will begin its discussions of this issue on June 14, and anticipates bringing a
contract recommendation to your Board no later than September 30, 2008.
Contracts for SafeMeasures and Data Reporting
8. SafeMeasures - As your Board may recall, since FY 2003-04, Human Services
has been utilizing SafeMeasures, an internet-based child welfare quality
assurance reporting service developed by the National Council on Crime and
Delinquency (NCCD). Under a special agreement, the California Department of
Social Services (CDSS) provides case data to NCCD from the statewide Child
Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS), and NCCD uses the
data to prepare an extensive set of county-specific reports that are housed on a
restricted-access website in graph and chart format. These reports are invaluable
in providing Family and Children’s Services managers and supervisors with
information at the program, unit and worker level regarding current workload,
compliance with mandated timeframes, as well as performance on the various
outcome indicators established by state and federal regulatory requirements.
Human Services has negotiated a two-year service agreement with NCCD for
continued use of SafeMeasures for fiscal years, FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10.
The annual cost for this service is $37,175.
9. Monthly and Ad Hoc Data Reports -Additionally, beginning in FY 2007-08, as
part of the Child Welfare Services Self Assessment process, the Department
began working with Children’s Research Center (CRC), a division of NCCD, to
develop monthly and ad hoc reports that would improve the capacity for the
Family and Children’s Services division to report and analyze child welfare
services performance indicators and outcomes data. These reports provide local
information on child safety, permanency, and well-being based on CWS/CMS
data, in order to address areas identified in the self-assessment and to identify
the impact of system improvement efforts. The individually tailored local reports
are developed in consultation with CRC.
Human Services is requesting to renew the agreement with CRC for FY 2008-09
in the amount of $36,000 to continue to develop and submit monthly standard
reports and ad hoc reports.
IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED that your Board:
1. Approve the agreement with Parents Center, Inc, in the amount of $48,000 for
therapeutic supervised visitation services for FY 2008-09;
2. Approve the agreement with Cabrillo College in the amount of $33,687 for adoption
promotion and support services for FY 2008-09;

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. CONTRACTOR and COUNTY have
reviewed and considered the principal test and secondary factors below and agree that CONTRACTOR is
an independent contractor and not an employee of COUNTY. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all
insurance (workers compensation, unemployment, etc.) and all payroll related taxes. CONTRACTOR is
not entitled to any employee benefits. COUNTY agrees that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to
control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for herein.
PRINCIPAL TEST: The CONTRACTOR rather than COUNTY has the right to control the
manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.
(a) The extent of control which, by agreement, COUNTY may
SECONDARY FACTORS:
exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a
distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually
done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill
required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (0 The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employeremployee relationship; and (i) The COUNTY conducts public business.
It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an
independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures on’ this Contract, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Contract is in fact an independent
contractor.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. CONTRACTOR and COUNTY have
reviewed and considered the principal test and secondary factors below and agree that CONTRACTOR is
an independent contractor and not an employee of COUNTY. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all
insurance (workers compensation, unemployment, etc.) and all payroll related taxes. CONTRACTOR is
not entitled to any employee benefits. COUNTY agrees that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to
control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for herein.
PRINCIPAL TEST: The CONTRACTOR rather than COUNTY has the right to control the
manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.
SECONDARY FACTORS:
(a) The extent of control which, by agreement, COUNTY may
exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a
distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually
done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill
required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (f) The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employeremployee relationship; and (i) The COUNTY conducts public business.
It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an
independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures on this Contract, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Contract is in fact an independent
contractor.

ATTACHMENT A
Scope of Services
Cabrillo College
Adoption Promotion and Support
Project Objectives:
Toward that goal, this project will encompass the following objectives:
Provide a high level of culturally competent professional counseling services
(both individual and family) to HSD-referred pre- and post-adoptive clients.
Provide respite reimbursement for post-adoptive families in the first year
following adoption to allow their participation in these services and/or other
respite activities.
Two licensed therapists, one in North County and one in South County will be
identified. The South County therapist will offer bilingual services. Obviously, an
exact number of families and an exact number of counseling hours needed is not
available. For the purposes of this proposal, this project estimates that 14
families could receive an average of 18 hours of individual/family counseling in
the first fiscal year. This would allow approximately 6 weekly visits for crisis
intervention or more intensive services followed by 12 hours of follow-up
throughout the remainder of the year for each of these families, as needed.
These numbers will be revised for the second and third year of the contract to
reflect needs and numbers of client families. However, this number will always
need to remain flexible, based on need.
Because currently no respite services are available for post-adoptive families,
and because families involved in our STAP program have reported that the lack
of childcare and available respite poses a barrier to their participating in trainings
and services and also places a burden on their resources, this project is
proposing to provide a minimal amount (approximately 4 hours per month for five
post-adoptive families in the first year'following adoption) of respite
reimbursement in the first year of the project. As the project proceeds, funds
slated for counseling hours that are unused can be used to increase the respite
hours for post-adoptive families; however, the counseling hours will always be
the first priority for this project.

8.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. CONTRACTOR and COUNTY have
reviewed and considered the principal test and secondary factors below and agree that CONTRACTOR is
an independent contractor and not an employee of COUNTY. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all
insurance (workers compensation, unemployment, etc.) and all payroll related taxes. CONTRACTOR is
not entitled to any employee benefits. COUNTY agrees that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to
control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for herein.
Page 4
0519
PRINCIPAL TEST: The CONTRACTOR rather than COUNTY has the right to control the
manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.
SECONDARY FACTORS:
(a) The extent of control which, by agreement, COUNTY may
exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a
distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually
done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill
required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (f) The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an ernployeremployee relationship; and (j)The COUNTY conducts public business.
It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an
independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures on this Contract, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Contract is in fact an independent
contractor.

an independent contractor and not an employee of COUNTY. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all
insurance (workers compensation, unemployment, etc.) and all payroll related taxes. CONTRACTOR is
not entitled to any employee benefits. COUNTY agrees that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to
control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for herein.
PRINCIPAL TEST:
The CONTRACTOR rather than COUNTY has the right to control the
manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.

exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a
distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually
done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill
required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (0 The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employeremployee relationship; and (i) The COUNTY conducts public business.
It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an
independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures on this Contract, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Contract is in fact an independent
contractor.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. CONTRACTOR and COUNTY have

an independent contractor and not an employee of COUNTY. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all
insurance (workers compensation, unemployment, etc.) and all payroll related taxes. CONTRACTOR is
not entitled to any employee benefits. COUNTY agrees that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to
control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for herein.
PRINCIPAL TEST: The CONTRACTOR rather than COUNTY has the right to control the
manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for. .
SECONDARY FACTORS:

exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a
distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually
done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill
required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (f) The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employeremployee relationship; and (j)The COUNTY conducts public business.
It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an
independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures on this Contract, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Contract is in fact an independent
contractor.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. CONTRACTOR and COUNTY have
reviewed and considered the principal test and secondary factors below and agree that CONTRACTOR is
an independent contractor and not an employee of COUNTY. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all
insurance (workers compensation, unemployment, etc.) and all payroll related taxes. CONTRACTOR is
not entitled to any employee benefits. COUNTY agrees that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to
control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for herein.
PRJNCIPAL TEST: The CONTRACTOR rather than COUNTY has the right to control the
manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.
SECONDARY FACTORS:
(a) The extent of control which, by agreement, COUNTY may
exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a
distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually
done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill
required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (f) The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employeremployee relationship; and (i) The COUNTY conducts public business.
It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an
independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures on this Contract, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Contract is in fact an independent
con tractor.

Reporting Service Subscription Agreement
For Internet Access
to SafeMeasuresB
This agreement is between‘the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, a non-profit
corporation organized under the laws of New York, with business offices in Madison,
Wisconsin, USA (”NCCD”) and the County of Santa Cruz on behalf of its Human Services
Department, Family and Children’s Services Division (collectively, “Customer”).
BACKGROUND AND
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A.
NCCD has developed and owns all rights, title and interest in a certain child welfare
reporting service identified as the NCCD Internet Reporting Service, and referred to as
SafeMeasuresB. SafeMeasures8 uses case level data from a child welfare agency’s
management information system (MIS) and publishes it via a conventional web-browser
in a series of concise, interactive management reports.
B.
SafeMeasuresB is a subscription reporting service which permits customers to monitor
service delivery activity by navigating an extensive set of reports presented in graph and
chart format. These reports permit them to estimate current workload demand, plan more
effective service interventions and monitor certain performance indicators established by
state or federal regulatory requirements. SafeMeasuresB includes case level quality
control displays which agencies may employ to improve compliance with state or federal
performance audits .
Acknowledging the sufficiency of the consideration exchanged, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Provision of Service.
1.1
1.2
Web Based Reports. During the Term of this Agreement, NCCD will provide
Customer with interactive web-based management reports, (“Management
Reports”) which permit the Customer to categorize agency compliance with
various measures, and permit Customer to identify the specific cases within each
category. NCCD will specifically:
(a)
Provide Management Reports within 45 business days after first receiving
raw MIS data from the Customer, and
(b)
Provide regular updates of Management Reports, provided that Customer
or another agency regularly submits raw MIS data to NCCD for
processing and analysis. Such updates will be provided within three
business days of receipt of the MIS data by NCCD.
Access to Customer Data: If requested by NCCD, Customer will supply a copy
of the CWSKMS databases, or specifically designated data tables therein, that
0574
store agency data to be used by NCCD. If data is supplied by a third party,
Customer will authorize and facilitate release of the data to NCCD.
2.
1.3
Access to Website Restricted: The right to access the SafeMeasures8 website is
jurisdiction and agency-specific. Only Customer and its employees or agents may
access or use the SafeMeasures8 website for the Customer’s monitoring and
reporting needs. Specifically, and without limitation, Customer may not act as a
relay or intermediary allowing access to the SafeMeasures8 website to any third
party jurisdiction, agency, individual, or business for any purpose.
1.4
Internal Business. Customer may only use SafeMeasures8 for its own internal
purposes. Customer’s internal purposes do not include extending this service to
third parties, except that data may be provided to state and governmental
authorities if required by law.
1.5
Competing Services or Products. Customer shall not use all or any part of
SafeMeasures8 or its documentation to create a service or product that competes
with, or is used in a product that competes with, all or any part of SafeMeasuresG.9,
regardless of whether such service or product is distributed with or without
consideration.
1.6
Copvright Ownership and License. Customer acknowledges that NCCD owns the
copyright in all graphic interfaces, reports, displays and formats, (“Original
Works”). NCCD grants Customer a fully-paid up license to display, reproduce
and distribute the Original Works for its internal purposes for the Term of the
Agreement.
1.7
Training. NCCD will provide training as specified in Exhibit A. Customer will
provide training facility, equipment, and access to NCCD Internet training site.
-

following methods to send weekly extracts of agency MIS data to NCCD for processing
and analysis:
2.1
Compact Disk. Customer or supplying party will copy data onto one or more
compact disks and mail to NCCD via overnight delivery service; or
2.2
Secured File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) over Secure Shell (SSH). Customer or
supplying party will send data over a secure channel to NCCD’s secure SSH
server. This transfer may be made using a dedicated SSH file transfer client.
3.
Reporting Service Subscription Fee. Customer will pay NCCD the fees (“Reporting
Service Subscription Fees”) according to the payment schedule specified in attached
Exhibit A and all applicable taxes related thereto unless Customer provides evidence that
Customer is exempt from such taxes.
4.
Updates. During the Term of this Agreement, NCCD will provide to Customer updates,
error corrections, and modifications to SafeMeasuresB displays (“Updates”) as such
Updates become available. Updates do not include modifications to displays specifically
2
0575
requested by Customer. Any Customer requested modifications must be made by NCCD
at NCCD’s published service rates. NCCD reserves the right to use the displays created
for Customer, and analyses to produce such displays for other parties whether such
displays were suggested by NCCD or the Customer. NCCD shall not use any Customer
data in its publishing for other parties without Customer’s permission.
5.
Term and Termination.
5.1
Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on July 1,2008 and end on
June 30, 2010 unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 5.3. After expiration
of the current Term, NCCD will not provide any Updates to Customer, and
Customer must cease all use of SafeMeasuresB.
5.2
Renewal. If Customer is not in default of this Agreement, Customer and NCCD
may renew this Agreement for an additional period (“Renewal Term”). Prior to
the expiration of the current Term, NCCD may, in its discretion, issue a quotation
of the Reporting Service Fees for the Renewal Term. Renewal of this Agreement
will be effective upon (a) NCCD’s issuance of a quotation of the new Reporting
Service Fees, and (b) NCCD’s acceptance of Customer’s corresponding purchase
order.
In order to ensure continuous access to the SafeMeasures internet reporting
service, the effective date of any renewal contract will begin one day after the
previous contract expires. If a renewal contract is not fully executed and received
by NCCD within 30 days of contract expiration, NCCD reserves the right to
discontinue access to the SafeMeasures internet reporting service until a renewal
contract is in place.
5.3
6.
Termination for Cause. A party may terminate this Agreement if the other party
commits a material breach that is not cured within 30 days of a written notice of
such material breach. This Agreement may be terminated immediately for a
breach of Customer’s obligation to pay fees under this Agreement or a breach of
Sections 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5 of this Agreement.
NCCD Warranty, Disclaimers and Remedies.
6.1
Warranty. NCCD warrants that:
(a)
(b)
Provided that Customer or another designated party regularly submits the
required raw MIS data to NCCD, SafeMeasures8 will perform

3
0576
NCCD will utilize all reasonable means and due diligence to protect the
confidentiality and security of Customer data.
Except for the foregoing express warranties, NCCD neither makes nor
grants any other warranties, express or implied. NCCD excludes all
implied warranties including specifically any implied warranty arising by
statute or otherwise in or from a course of dealing or usage of trade
including any and all implied warranties of merchantability, merchantable
quality, or fitness for any purpose, particular, specific or otherwise. The
foregoing express warranty is the only warranty of any kind for
SafeMeasuresB. NCCD makes no warranties whatsoever for any Original
WorksB that have been modified by Customer nor does NCCD warrant
that SafeMeasuresB will be offered without interruption.
Customer acknowledges that NCCD provides no monitoring, analysis or
review of the accuracy or quality of the Customer's data accessed through
SafeMeasuresB.
6.2
7.
Remedies. If SafeMeasuresB does not operate substantially as warranted
(hereinafter describe as "Noncompliance"), Customer will provide NCCD with
sufficient details available to Customer about the Noncompliance to allow NCCD
to reproduce it. As Customer's exclusive remedy for any Noncompliance, and as
NCCD's entire liability in contract, tort, or otherwise of such Noncompliance,
NCCD will either:
(a)
correct the Noncompliance; or
(b)
if NCCD is unable to correct the Noncompliance after a reasonable
opportunity to do so, Customer may;
(i)
Request that NCCD cease publication of any demonstrably
incorrect information and request a pro-rata reduction in the
Reporting Service fee; or
(ii)
Terminate the Reporting Service Subscription and receive a prorated refund of the Reporting Service Subscription Fee.

copyright, patent, trade secret, or other rights of any third party, NCCD will (as
long as Customer is not in material breach of this Agreement) defend Customer
against such claim at NCCD's expense and NCCD will pay all damages that a
court finally awards based solely on such claim, provided that Customer notifies
NCCD in writing of such claim within 21 days of Customer's receipt of notice of
the existence or possible existence of such claim, and further provided that
Customer allows NCCD sole and exclusive control over the resolution of such
claim and that Customer cooperates fully with NCCD, at NCCD's cost, in the
defense of such claim and in any related settlement negotiations.
4
0577
7.2
Replacement, Refund. If such a claim is made or appears possible, NCCD may,
using reasonable business judgment, either secure Customer’s right to continue to
use SafeMeasuresB by modifying or replacing the portion of SafeMeasuresB that
is the basis for the claim so that such portion of SafeMeasuresB is no longer
infringing, or NCCD may provide Customer with a credit equal to the portion of
previously paid Reporting Service Fee prorated to the remainder of the Term or
Renewal Term of the Agreement.
8.
Limitation of NCCD’s Liability, Consequential Damages. The cumulative liability of
NCCD to Customer for all claims relating to SafeMeasuresB and any services rendered
under this Agreement, will not exceed the total amount of all Reporting Service
Subscription Fees paid to NCCD by Customer for SafeMeasuresB during the one-year
period prior to the date NCCD is notified of such claim. This limitation will not apply to
third parties indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7. In no event will NCCD be
liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential losses or damages even if
NCCD has been advised of the possibility of such potential loss or damage. Except as set
forth in Section 7, and solely to the extent provided therein, NCCD will not indemnify
Customer in any way against any claim.
9.
Customer Warranties. Customer warrants that:

manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.

SECONDARY FACTORS:

required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than
the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; (f) The length of time for which
CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of
CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive
activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR
and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employeremployee relationship; and (i) The COUNTY conducts public business.

independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors that
indicate that CONTRACTOR is an indeDendent contractor.

1. Purpose of Contract: The purpose of this contract is to provide monthly data reporting services
to meet the County of Santa Cmz’s Human Services Department, Family and Children’s Services
(FCS) specific data analysis needs. These data analysis needs were initially identified in a
community assessment process from 2007, which resulted in Santa Cruz County’s current System
Improvement Plan (SIP). One of the strategies of the SIP is to increase FCS and stakeholder
knowledge on the local child welfare system by having on-going reviews of the characteristics
and outcomes of children and families involved with FCS. These reviews will increase the
capacity of staff to monitor and affect systems improvement efforts. A key component of this
review will be the development and submission of data reports by the contractor, Children’s
Research Center (CRC) a division of National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD).
2. Contract Description: Children’s Research Center (CRC) shall provide ad hoc and routine
monthly reports, developed from the Child Welfare Services/Case Management System
(CWS/CMS) data and Structured Decision Making (SDM) data.
a. Number of Reports: The contractor will develop and submit a routine set of up to five
monthly reports. In addition, each month FCS can request up to three ad hoc reports.
Contractor shall provide these ad hoc reports within ten business days of county request.
The five routine reports will be provided each month on a date agreed upon by the
County of Santa Cruz and Contractor.
b. Types of Reports: These ad hoc and routine reports will be conducted via queries on any
fields available in CWS/CMS or Safe Measures to which the Contractor can obtain
access. Examples of these reports include lists of children with particular characteristics
such as having parents who FCS has determined to be abusing substances and reports on
the demographics of children with specific risk levels.
C. Documentation of Reports: Contractor shall provide a detailed methodology of the
development and structure of the report at time of delivery. A web-based trackmg system
will be used to submit all requests identifying submission date and time and request
status. For routine reports, the methodology only needs to be provided by the Contractor
once, and does not have to be submitted with each updated monthly. For any subsequent
revisions, the methodology would also only be provided once.
d. Phone consultation: Contractor shall provide consultation on reports to assist FCS with
developing internal consistency and reliability of data. Phone meetings shall occur on a
monthly basis or as needed. A County of Santa Cruz Human Services Department, FCS
Analyst will be a liaison to CRC for this project. It is noted that upon learning of data
transmission issues with State, Contractor must notify the County via e-mail.
e. Other: Concurrent planning resource allocation assessment. Contractor shall provide
consultation and analysis for the concurrent planning resource allocation assessment.
This is an extension of work started in 2008 and will continue through the contract
period. Consulting and analysis will be provided in lieu of ad hoc requests as agreed
upon between Contractor and County.

A.
PRINCIPAL TEST: The CONTRACTOR rather than COMMISSION has the right
to control the manner and means of accomplishing the result contracted for.

B.
COMMISSION may exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial;

the direction of an employer; (d) The skill required in the particular occupation is substantial rather
than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than the COMMISSION supplies the instrumentalities,
tools, and work place; (f) The length of time for which CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited

than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive activity, program, or project, rather
than part of the regular business of COMMISSION; (i) CONTRACTOR and COMMISSION
believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employer-employee
relationship; and (i)The COMMISSION conducts public business.

independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors,
which indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor.
By their signatures to this Agreement, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her
considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Agreement is in fact an
independent contractor.

DIVESTMENT FROM TOBACCO POLICY
Investments in the tobacco industry promote the use of tobacco products worldwide by financially supporting the
industry. If the investment is to be profitable, the industry must sell its product. Unfortunately, in the case of tobacco
in the United States, the industry's product kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes, murders,
suicides, and fires cornblned, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Tobacco investments
also send the wrong message to the public, especially young peopie. Therefore, it shall be the policy of First 5
Grantees and Contractors to divest any investments in compzjnjes which derive more than 15% of their revenue
from tobacco products. Through divestment from tobacco, First 5 Santa Cruz County supports the health of all
Santa Cruz County children and families.

These approaches include strategic co-location within culturally specific community organizations, social
service agencies, community action agencies, health centers, churches, mosques, schools, and
neighborhood locales which are accessible through public transportation and in-home, in-comunity,
mobile care,When not legally prohibitive, ensure that legal documentation for immigrant groups is not a requirement
for service and does not serve as a barrier to service access.
Review fee structure to determine if ability to pay is a barrier to accessing sewices.
Programs provide culturally inviting environments (e.g., decor, ambiance, cultural symbols) as measured
by consumer satisfaction surveys-
Develop participatory, collaborative partnerships with cultural communities and providers that serve
specific cultural groups. Utilize a variety of formal and informal mechanisms to facilitate community and
consumer involvement in designing and implementing culturally competent services. Develop and
maintain relationships with community organizations and groups, for example, participate in community
forums or neighborhood meetings and/or participate in cultural functions within the community.
Develop or revise existing intake and assessment procedures to ensure that they meet the needs of the
wide range of cultures (See definition of culture.). Assessments include a multi-dimensional focus
including individual, family, and community strengths.
All outreach and program services are relevant and respectful of cultural factors and backgrounds.
Ensure services for consumers are compatible with the cultural framework and community environment
of consumers and family members. Consumers and families participate in the development of their case
plans. When appropriate, services involve culturally indicated family leaders and decision makers.
Provide to consumers in their preferred language both verbal offers and written notices informing them of
their right to receive language assistance services.
Offer and provide language assistance services, including bilingual staff and interpreter services, and/or
IITY services at no cost to each consumer at all points of contact, in a timely manner during all hours of
operation. Assure the competence of language assistance provided consumers by interpreters and
bilingual staff, Family and friends should not be used to provide interpretation services.
Make available easily understood client-related materials and post signage in the languages of the
commonly encountered groups and/or groups represented in the service area. Incorporate consumer
feedback into the materials to ensure they are culturally relevant.
Services are located in areas readily accessible to and are actively marketed to a wide range of cultural
groups in the community.
Ensure that conflict and grievance resolution processes are culturally and linguistically sensitive and
capable of identifying, preventing, and resolving cross-cultural conflicts or complaints by consumers.

Principles on Equity
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON DIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA CHILDREN dk FAMILIES COMMISSION
(Approved by the State Commission on October 18,2001)
Recognizing significant gaps and disparities in the provision of services for children and their families and as
observed in educational, health and other outcomes, the State Commissioners adopted a resolution in November,
1999,demonstmting its commitment and leadership towards taking proactive steps to ensure that California
including children with disabilities and other specid needs,
children and their families fiom diverse p~pulation~,
are an integral part of the planning and hplementation of Proposition 10. By the following summer (July
2000), the state Commissioners had established the Advisory Committee on Diversity to serve as their policy
advisors on issues related to diversity and equity. For Prop 10, diversity has been defined to be inclusive of
children prenatally to five years of age, regardless of immigration status, who:
0
Are from different ethnic, linguistic, cultural, socio-economic, religious, geographical and/or oher
historically or currently under-served communities;or
Have disabilities and other special needs.
The Advisory Committee on Diversity is mponsible for advising the State Commission in fulfilling its mission
to adopt policies and practices that equitably provide California’s children (prenatal to 5 ) fiom diverse
backgrounds and abilities with accessible, family-friendly, culturally competent,quality early childhood services
and programs designed to help them reach their full potential and prepare them for positive educational and life
experiences. To achieve this vision, it is critical that parents and other caregivers of children fiom diverse
backgrounds and with diverse abilities have meaningful roles in the planning, delivery and evaluation of Prop 10
initiatives. W e n historically marginalized groups have a voice in shaping the systems that affect the lives of
their children, we can expect cutting-edge and powerful changes. The Advisory Committee on Diversity is
confident that only through this increased level of involvement and system improvements will equity be
achieved.
The Advisory Committee on Diversity determined at its second meeting (November 2000) that its work must
begin with the development of Equity Principles, which were originally referred to & Diversity Principles. The
State Commission is the primary audience for these Equity Principles; the principles will be used to guide their
policy work and funding decisioa. Additionally, the Equity Principles are intended for use by the CCFC staff
and contractors. Although the Principles are not mandates, they can serve as guidelines to ensure that the
programs and services established and supported by Prop 10 h d s are both culturally and linguistically
competent and inclusive in serving children with disabilities - a d other special needs.
The Committee also developed these Equity Principles with the local audience in mind and in response to the
County Commissions’ requests for support in this area. The Advisory Committee on Diversity feels strongly
that the Equity Principles will be beneficial to the children and families served through local programs funded
by the County Commissioners.
The Advisory Committee on Diversity firmly believes that through assuring improved programs and access for
children and their h i l i e s f?om diverse backgrounds and with diverse abilities, the services for all children in
California will be better served. We offer these Principles to assist the State Commission in Mfilling its
commitment to all children and hope that others throughout California will also adopt them. There are four
major components to the Diversity Principles:
1. Inclusive Governance and Participation
2.
Access to Services
3. Legislative and Regulatory Mandates
4.
Results-based Accountability
The Advisory Committee approved the Equity Principles on June 29,2001. It is anticipated that the Committee
will periodically review and update the Principles.
Exhibit “G”
Inclusive Governance and Participation
Prop 10 recognizes that children develop within the context of their families and communities, and as such, it is
essential that Prop 10 programs secure and obtain rneaningfU1 participation and input of the families and other
cuegivers of children from diverse backgrounds and with diverse abilities throughout all program development
and implementation phases. Prop 10 programs should:
>
Use culturally - and linguistically-appropriate outreach strategies, as well as approaches
effective in reaching parents of children with disabilities and other special needs and parents
who themselves may have disabilities;
> Assure that all diverse groups, particularly those who have been traditionally underrepresented
and underserved, are actively engaged and involved SO that they can have an equal voice in
defining their needs and finding solutiom;
> Use community organizations, both formal and informal networks, and other communication
vehicles that have been effective in reaching out to and serving diverse groups;
9 Promote and support the development of emerging parent and community leaders; and
k Assure that families representing diverse groups participate equitably in the planning, delivery
and evaluation of initiatives, which includes the grant criteria process, advisory groups and
other committees.
Access to Services
To assure that children from diverse backgrounds and with diverse abilities have access to high quality and
culturally competent early care and education/developmentopportunities as a critical means for achieving
equity, Prop 10 funded programs should
9 Set measurable goals and objectives for increasing access and achieving equity;
9 Use culturally &d linguistically relevant methods of communication and community outreach,
which include engaging respected community persons to promote messages;
Assure that programs provide access to information, resources and support regarding their
child’s development, including strengths and needs for all families;
k Conduct assessments that include assets, challenges, and gaps in communities and systems, as
well as analyze disaggregated community demographic data (ethnicity, disabilities, language,
age, socio-economic status, literacy levels, underinsureduninsured rates, etc.). Use these
assessment and data to establish priority desired results and to design program that will remove
disparities and attain desired results;
k Provide idormation and support h u g h culturally and linguistically responsive service
providers and service providers who are knowledgeable about children with disabilities and
other special needs and their families;
9 Promote collaboration across disciplines, service delivery systems and communities. This
includes implementation of a coordinated service delivery approach to young children,
especially children with disabilities and other special needs and their families who are often
served by a variety of agencies, programs, and service providers;
Develop pMt, audio-visual, and electronic materials that are culturally and linguistidly
relevant for all communities served, are written at appropriate literacy levels, and are available
for specialized popuiations (e.g., Braille, closed csptioning);
Q ~ : Y I C-ue;?h

Support programs that are individualized to address the cultural and linguistic diversity, as well
as the range of ability levels and behavioral and learning styles that are representative of
California’s children and families;
2
T
I
p Ensure availability of adapted and specialized services and supports as needed to assure full
participation for all children and their families. Individualization of services and supports for 41
families are critical to actively support a child’s learning experiences in natural environments to
the maximum extent appropriate;
> Demonstrate awareness of, and referrals to, services, resources and other supports available for
children with disabilities and other special needs and their families;
> Demonstrate a commitment to promote a workforce that has skills, knowledge of, and reflective
of the children and families being served, and a worMbrce that is knowledgeable about and
supportive of children with disabilities and other special needs and their families;
> Demonstrate that staffwho work with or on behalf of children and their families display a
positive attitude about working with children with disabilities and special ne& as well
children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; and
k Promote policies to assure training and technical assistance necessary to improve knowledge,
attitudes and skills of all hvol~edwith the Commission and build their capacity to work within
culturally and linguktically diverse communities,and serve as well as to work more effectively
in serving the range of abilities, behavioral and learning styles that are representative of
California’s children.
Legislative and regulatory mandates
Agencies must adhere to all legislative, regulatory and accreditation mandates pertinent to the provision of
services to children from diverse backgrounds and with diverse abilities. Prop 10 programs should:
P Embrace the spirit of the law;
> Demonstrate leadership in assuring that all swreceive training, are knowledgeable about
pertinent legislative and legal mandates and have the skills and resources necessary to
implement required modifications or enhancements to services or facilities;
> Inform parents of their rights and responsibilities as well as those of their children;
> Offer its services to all children and their families regardless of immigration status (California
Children and Families Commission Resolution -June 24, 1999); and
> Be held accountable for their compliance with key laws and other related mandates, for
example:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: requires linguistic access via qualified
interpreters and translated materials at no cost to the individual;
Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 (ADA): prohibits discrimination on the basis of
disability and promotes equal access, building modifications, hiring practices for
persons with disabilities;
Language Access Laws Le., Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act (CA); imposes
direct obligations statdlocal governmental agencies to provide appropriate tramlation
services for languages spoken by 5% or more of population served;
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) establishes special education and
coordinated, family centered service delivery systems for children with disabilities
from birth through age 5 through several programs e.g., California’s Early Start
Program, California Department of Education’s Preschool Special Education
Program; and
Executive Order 13166: issued on August 11,2000 to provide meaningfid access to
Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals to federally assisted and federally
conducted programs and activities.
3
Results-based Accountability
Prop 10 programs will have well defined and meaningfbl outcomes that benefit children from diverse
backgrounds and with diverse abilities and thus should:
Commit to attaining their stated program outcomes realizing that their results are crucial to
ongoing sustainability and advocacy;
Allocate sufficient resources to support accouTltability and evaluation activities;
Use program planners, evaluators and other experts who are knowledgeable about children’s
differing abilities, and who are culturally competent in regards to the population(s) served in
developing effective assessment and evaluation tools and methods;
Conduct assessments that include assets, challenges, and gaps in communities and systems, as
well as analyze community demographics (ethnicity, disabilities, language, age, socio-economic
status, etc.);
Assess regularly its inclusive governance process and provide updates on the extent of the
family involvement and engagement throughout all phases of program development (planning,
imp1ementation and evaluation);
Use culturally and linguistically appropriate questions, instruments and other research methods
to collect relevant data from the populations and communities served;
Include questions on disabilities and other related issues in surveys and other evaluation and
research tools/instruments;
Collect and report disaggregated data (e.g., ethnicity, disabilities, language, age, socioeconomic status, etc.) describing children and families served and the achievement of access,
equity and desired childfamily results;
Recognize that accountability and results are crucial to ongoing advocacy and sustainability;
and
Disseminate best practices and promising practices for the benefit of all children and their
service providers throughout California.
