RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to amend the agreement with the Orange County
Department of Education to provide General Education Diploma testing
services, extending the term of the agreement by an additional fifteen
months and increasing the compensation by $25,000 for a total aggregate
amount not to exceed $35,000.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Jail provides various educational classes for the inmates.
One of the programs offered by the Jail is the opportunity for inmates to
obtain a General Educational Diploma (GED). The Alternative, Community, and
Correctional Education Schools and Services Division of the Orange County
Department of Education has been providing GED testing services to the Santa
Ana Jail inmates for the past several years.
Due to the popularity of this program, GED testing services have exceeded
the $10,000 limit and require Council approval. Approval of the amendment
will authorize compensation to the Orange County Department of Education for
services provided during the last three months of the 2004-2005 fiscal year
and allow the continuation of the program during FY 05-06.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Police Department, Inmate Welfare Fund Other
Contractual Services account (account no. 023-349-6291).
