Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The County, in collaboration with UC Davis, launched a poverty reduction program for families to move them above the California Poverty Measure. Under the Research Agreement, Yolo County will partner with the University research team to seek more funding for more comprehensive analysis, dissemination of findings, and long-term research goals.
The University will submit Interim and final technical reports to County that will identify scientific developments and describe any problems encountered in pursuit of the research objectives, and address in detail the technical aspects of the research activities covering the entire Period of Performance in pursuit of the objectives. In the period of 2016-2018, Yolo County had the third highest poverty rate in the state. Staff recommends approval of this agreement as this research may lead to solutions for CalWORKs dependent families in gaining self-sufficiency while lowering the poverty rate in the County.
HHSA is requesting that the Board approve Delegated Authority to the Procurement Manager to expedite the execution of the new Agreement. This partnership with UC Davis formally began in July 2022, but execution of the agreement has been delayed due to negotiations on contract language. The parties are close to reaching final consensus on language and hope to execute the formal documentation of this exciting partnership in the upcoming weeks.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
No performance measures are included in the Agreement
