2. Items to be Pulled for Discussion – Agenda item 5B(1) (Reference #9) was pulled for
discussion purposes.
3. Adoption of the Consent Agenda and Walk-in Warrants List
Discussion took place regarding mental health and schools. As approved by the Board, the Children’s Services Council is investing $560,000 to allow additional schools to have a CSC funded agency provide a similar mental health program as the School District is providing. This will provide the opportunity for 10 schools, all located in the BRIDGES neighborhoods, to have dedicated therapists/counselors embedded in the schools. There is also a School Safety Committee that is working on evaluating options to ensure kids follow through with continued care. The goal is to bring together all the different entities in the county that have policy making authority to make sure that we have a continuum of care and that there is a hand-off at every step of the treatment process, as well as checks and balances in place. Additional discussion took place regarding the importance of having caring adults that are knowledgeable about social emotional learning that can create positive relationships with our children. The intention is to lower the current 42% of children that cannot identify having a caring adult in their lives. A motion by Burdick/Rodriguez to approve the Consent Agenda with the exception of Agenda item 5B(1) (Reference #9), was approved by unanimous vote. (Note: the Walk-In Warrants List was unanimously approved by a separate motion by Burdick/Goodman).

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY October 25, 2018 Council Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: 5A(1)
TITLE: Consent Agenda – Program Resolution #18-025 Authorizing an Agreement with the University of Chicago
CSC STAFF: Debra Gotlib, Director of Program Performance
SUMMARY:
The Council was advised in September that CSC was selected as the first national TMW demonstration community. The TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health at the University of Chicago (“TMW Center”) is part of the Research Institute at the University of Chicago. The TMW program is a suite of interventions that aims to empower parents and caregivers with knowledge and skills to develop their children’s intellectual and educational potential. Developed in partnership with parents, the evidence-based interventions translate emerging brain science into strategies parents and caregivers can use in everyday settings to enhance their children’s early learning environment. The interventions are delivered via short and engaging web-based animation videos. All of the interventions use the “TMW 3Ts”: “Tune In” and respond to what your child is communicating; “Talk More” and build your child’s vocabulary with descriptive language; and “Take Turns” to engage your child in conversation and foster curiosity and knowledge. The interventions are designed to be embedded within existing systems and structures that reach parents and caregivers; each is tailored to a specific setting and phase of life. The demonstration project, which encompasses an evaluation to measure the effectiveness of the intervention, will be a phased-in process over the next 5 years with the goal of achieving population level change in parent caregiver behavior to optimize children’s foundational brain development. Over the 5-year period, both TMW Center and CSC will dedicate staff in a collaborative effort to further refine the intervention, consistent with our local population. The intervention will be implemented in 1-3 birthing hospitals and multiple pediatric offices. The program and its concepts will be promoted through a public awareness campaign. The University of Chicago expects to contribute up to $7,500,000 over the next 5 years. The CSC obligation will not exceed $2,500,000 over the same period. Some of the CSC contribution would include CSC staff time and resources, as well additional funding within existing provider contracts and/or new provider contracts (additional contract funding will come to the Council for approval or information, as applicable). The estimated value of these contributions for FY 18-19 is $200,000. CSC will also directly pay the University of Chicago for the cost of training, technical support and the TMW intervention(s), not to exceed $50,000 for FY 18-19. Staff is recommending that the Council authorize the CEO to enter into a one-year agreement for an amount not to exceed $50,000 for direct costs that will automatically renew for 4 additional successive terms, subject to the annual TRIM budget and millage process. The 5-year cost will not

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY October 25, 2018 Council Meeting
exceed the amount of $2,500,000 (including direct costs to the University of Chicago and costs for CSC staff time and additional provider funding). As this is a long-term project, staff will return to Council for regular updates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of funding this item for FY 2018-19 is $50,000. The funds to support this agenda item are budgeted in the FY 2018-2019 strategy budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend the Council approve Resolution #18-025 authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to execute the necessary document for collaboration with the University of Chicago for the TMW pilot project, in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for direct costs for FY 18-19, renewable automatically for four more years, subject to the Council’s TRIM budget process, for a total 5-year amount, not to exceed $2,500,000 (including direct costs to the University of Chicago and costs for CSC staff time and additional provider funding).

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY October 25, 2018 Council Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: 5B(4)
TITLE: Consent Agenda - Business Resolution #18-027 Authorizing Procurement of Renewal of Box through Carahsoft
CSC STAFF: Ruben Garcia, Business Intelligence Officer; Robert Kurimski, Chief Technology Officer
SUMMARY:
The Children’s Services Council recognizes that technology is continuing to make it easier to automate processes and move towards becoming paperless with the right systems in place. Since we replaced our legacy document management system with Box back in 2015, we have seen great productivity improvements both internally and externally by leveraging Box as a cloud content management system. Some major benefits that CSC has achieved by implementing Box are: Reducing the amount of storage required to save and archive electronic records, real-time editing of documents with Microsoft Office Online, and the ability to collaborate with people outside of CSC while keeping the content in our system. Over the past 3 years, Box has invested significantly in their platform to ensure they are able to keep up with the competition. With a long-term strategy ahead, we recommend moving forward with a 3 year renewal to ensure we are able to obtain the maximum discount with Box. The cost of Box includes unlimited storage and retention, Box governance, maintenance and support, and all feature and platform upgrades as they are deployed. The total cost for CSC to renew our agreement with Box through Carahsoft is $111,872.20 over a 3-year term. As with our original proposal to the Council, Box is listed under Carahsoft’s federal GSA contract GS-35F-0119Y which provides an average discount of 20%. FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of funding this item for FY 2018-19 through FY 2020-21 is $111,872.20, which will be paid through a lump sum to secure a discount. The funds to support this agenda item are budgeted in the Information Management budget in the Computer Maintenance and support line item.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend the Council approve Resolution #18-027 authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to enter into the necessary agreement with Carahsoft for a total cost of $111,872.20 over a 3-year term.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY October 25, 2018 Council Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: 5B(4)
TITLE: Consent Agenda - Business Proclamation Recognizing November 2018 as Prematurity Awareness Month
CSC STAFF: Delores Haynes, Program Officer; Jeff Goodman, Evaluation Officer
SUMMARY:
Nearly 7,000 babies were born prematurely in Palm Beach County in the past five years, with a high emotional impact on families and astronomical costs for local employers through health care coverage. Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County issues this proclamation to raise awareness of prematurity to help spare families the harsh toll of caring for a very sick infant and reduce costs for our community. In 2017, there were 1,410 premature births in Palm Beach County, a rate of 9.4 percent. That represents an increase from 1,370, a rate of 9.2 percent of all births in 2016 and makes last year the second-highest rate in five years. The increase in 2017 showed up among most racial and ethnic groups, although the rates for non-Hispanic white babies was lower than for non-Hispanic blacks and Haitians. Prematurity is defined as fewer than 37 weeks.
PALM BEACH COUNTY BABIES BORN PRE-TERM* FAMILIES 2016 2017 Non-Hispanic White 7.9 8.6 Non-Hispanic Black 11.8 12.7 Hispanic 9.0 8.2 Haitian 10.4 11.8 All other races 8.8 6.6 *Fewer than 37 weeks
Statewide, the prematurity rates were more mixed. The overall rate increased slightly to 10.2 percent in 2017 from 10.1 percent in 2016, the highest rate in the past five years. The rate increased for black non-Hispanics and Haitians, was unchanged for white non-Hispanic, Hispanic and Other races. Children’s Services Council recognizes that babies born too early and too small are at risk for life-long health complications that can impact their growth, development, social-emotional health and academic success. In addition, on average, the medical cost to care for a premature baby is nearly $50,000 – 12 times more than that of a healthy baby. The Healthy Start Coalition was awarded a grant in 2016 from the March of Dimes and funding from the Department of Health to support a project to recruit and retain black women into our CenteringPregnancy program. At project inception, the program had just five Black women. Within the first 18 months, 73 Black women were enrolled. Of the 18 women who have delivered babies since, 17 were full-term. Black,

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY October 25, 2018 Council Meeting
Haitian and Caribbean women who completed at least six CenteringPregnancy sessions have the same premature birth rates as White women. Other programs CSC funds to address premature births are the nursing programs at the Department of Health, and the Community Voice program at Sickle Cell Foundation of Palm Beach County. FISCAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend the Council approve this Proclamation to raise awareness and recognize November 2018 as Prematurity Awareness Month in Palm Beach County.

Chief Executive Officer Report Update on the Campaign for Behavioral Wellness in Palm Beach County In Summer of 2017, a countywide behavioral health needs assessment was completed, resulting in a strategic plan to address gaps and opportunities within Palm Beach County’s behavioral health system. The plan set the stage for a response from the Palm Beach County community. A collective impact for behavioral health initiative began to emerge from a series of meetings among funders as well as a growing commitment to move the results from the needs assessment and strategic plan into action. Eight local funders (including Children’s Services Council, Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Palm Beach County Community Services, Farris Foundation, Health Care District, Palm Health Foundation, Quantum Foundation and United Way of Palm Beach County) collaborated to launch Phase I – Planning Phase – to tease out the priorities for our community to focus on. The consultant team of Tenacious Change and Tamarack Institute was selected to lead this 9-month planning phase, April 2018-December 2018. With their guidance, a design team was formed to shape the process, specifically for the community engagement efforts. Through a very intentional process, participants were invited to attend one of two community summits in July 2018 to provide input from their unique perspectives. To frame conversations at the summits, the design team crafted an aspirational goal: to create a community culture in which every person in Palm Beach County thrives because they feel empowered, hopeful, supported and connected. Over 120 people representing a broad range of lived experiences, sectors, geographical areas and vantage points, participated in one of the summits. Attendees were asked to not use titles in order to facilitate engagement and create a safe environment where every attendee was on equal footing. Using appreciative inquiry techniques, summit participants were invited to share stories related to behavioral health in Palm Beach County and to aspire about the opportunities for our community and residents. Analysis of the data from the summits indicates three themes, with five areas of focus: Theme: Values and How We Interact/Work Together Areas of Focus: (1) Changing the Behavioral Health Landscape/Approach and Understanding (2) Addressing Equity and Equality Barriers to Behavioral Health Theme: Resources and Services Area of Focus: (3) Creating Greater Integration and Coordination for Access to Existing Services Theme: Creative Solutions and Innovation Areas of Focus: (4) Empowering Community Driven Solutions (5) Educating and Advocating

In late September, two community forums were held with those participating in the summer summits and others who expressed interest. Between the two days, 45 content and context experts came together to reflect on the findings and offered important insight. Additionally, many indicated how they would like to continue their involvement in this emerging initiative. While the Phase I recommendations are still being finalized, early results point to the themes/priorities noted above and the need for a two-pronged, interconnected approach – one that 1) capitalizes on increased and improved interagency coordination and alignment of behavioral health services, and that 2) creates a movement designed to shift mental models, build supportive and emphatic relationships, and challenge power dynamics. Ultimately, the goal is to broadly engage the community in the establishment of a platform of shared leadership that transcends organizational boundaries and effectively puts community values into action. As the community embarks on the next phase of work, the organizing structure will be the Campaign for Behavioral Wellness (Campaign), and CSC will be one of the members of the Stewardship Council. The Stewardship Council will provide oversight of the Campaign with Palm Health Foundation serving as the backbone organization. The goal is to hire an Executive Director by the end of November, and have him/her begin in late December/early January to maintain momentum from the design to the implementation phase of the Campaign’s work. The Campaign will launch in two stages: Initial and Mature. Spanning approximately 9 months, the Initial/early stage work will focus on: 1) strategic community efforts focused on children and families ready for mobilization now (quick wins), 2) building momentum for the Campaign overall, and 3) developing the Campaign’s longer-term comprehensive plan that will inform the work and structure of the Campaign into the mature stage of the work. During the initial stage, the creation of several short-term strategy teams is proposed, including: 1) Campaign for Behavioral Wellness Launch Team that will lead the formal kick-off of the Campaign, provide initial guidance and support to the implementation of Campaign’s infrastructure, and oversee the formation of the Campaign’s comprehensive plan 2) School-based Mental Health Action Team, focused on mental health in the schools, and 3) Community Solutions Action Team, to support creative solutions. This work will join ongoing community efforts as appropriate in order to promote countywide integration.

Domestic Violence On October 3rd, 2018, CSC helped sponsor the Domestic Violence Opening Ceremony - Justice: Seeking an End to Domestic Violence. The event was held at the PBSO Training Division and had 120 attendees. As part of our ongoing support and to raise awareness of this important topic, some of CSC’s male team members participated in the event - Walk a Mile in Her Shoes - on October 16, 2018. This event is part of Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence. Men literally walk one mile in women's high heeled shoes to protest violence. Palm Beach State College in partnership with the Domestic Violence of Palm Beach County (DVC) organized the walk with the support of the CSC. Proceeds from this event will go to support domestic violence prevention activities supported by the college and the DVC throughout the county. First 1,000 Days Florida Summit Family Planning Waiver Poster – 1,000 Days Florida Summit Multiple agencies submitted posters to showcase local projects aimed at supporting young children and families. CSC, along with the Palm Beach County Department of Health, submitted a poster displaying efforts to increase the use of Medicaid Family Planning Waiver. The Waiver allows women who were on Medicaid for their pregnancy to access family planning services for up to two years following their pregnancy. The team conducted a phone and in-person survey of Medicaid providers to determine the extent of their knowledge about the availability of the Medicaid Family Planning Waiver. The survey revealed that OBGYN providers lacked knowledge about the Waiver and how to access it. The poster highlights these findings and the ongoing plans to get the word out, educating providers, pregnant women, and new mothers about the Waiver. The poster was awarded “Best In Show”.

New Pregnancy Guides Early in 2018, we produced the new Baby Guide for new moms. In October, we began distributing the new Pregnancy Guide as a companion piece. Copies of the new book are included in today’s packet of information for each Council Member. Like the Baby Guide, we expect it to be well-received by public and our provider organizations. And like the Baby Guide, we will produce additional versions in Spanish and Haitian Creole languages. We are working closely with the Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies as the Entry Agency for pregnant women, as we have with Home Safe as the Entry Agency for new moms. We welcome any feedback you have on the book.

PALM BEACH COUNTY HAS MORE THAN 200,000 RESIDENTS, 64,000 OF WHOM ARE CHILDREN, WHO DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TO
EAT ON A DAILY BASIS. HELP US FIGHT HUNGER!
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Hunger Relief Initiative partners have been working collaboratively to create the strong foundations needed to build lasting change using a collective impact model. The Hunger Relief Initiative is comprised of more than 130 volunteers who are passionate about this cause. Their time this year has been devoted to accomplishing 35 targets that are directly related to the Hunger Relief Plan goals and objectives. These targets were achieved and helped increase assets available so individuals and families have access to more food.
Tackling childhood hunger has been a major goal of the Hunger Relief Plan since its inception. For example, we successfully expanded backpack programs to assist children on free and/or reduced lunch by launching a pilot program that distributed 867 weekend meal backpacks. We also worked to increase participation in the Summer BreakSpot Program and the number of meals served.
Making informed decisions based on data is crucial to the success of the Hunger Relief Initiative and therefore, we have been steadily conducting research to understand the needs of our community. We have studied the Glades area and are beginning to turn our knowledge into programs and action, such as increasing participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and increasing applications in our county.
Coordination and collaboration are particularly important for the success of the Hunger Relief Initiative. Agencies who have had little contact before are now working together more efficiently and funders are enthusiastically contributing financially. The achievements of the Hunger Relief Initiative’s second year would not have been possible without the support of volunteers and strong partnerships throughout the community.
In the PressMedia outlets have reported on the Hunger Relief Initiative from the programs we created and support, our successes, as well as deferring to us and our partners for our expertise on hunger related issues.
Over the past year, 27 print stories ran in various publications and 12 television segments aired with afocus on Hunger Relief. We also held our First Annual “Kick Out Hunger” Kick Ball Tournament!
Disaster Response
United Way distributed more than $250,000 for food, water and hunger relief items following Hurricane Irma.
Personnel Updates
United Way hired two AmeriCorps VISTA positions to focus attention on the areas of children, seniors and infrastructure. Because of these AmeriCorps staff, maps of assets, community garden collaborations and marketing campaigns for seniors were created and backpack/nutrition education guidelines were established.

Collective Impact and Hunger Relief GoalsThe Hunger Relief Initiative’s Advisory Committee, comprised of leaders from local foundations, businesses and human service agencies, United Way of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County Government, and the School District of Palm Beach County continues to guide four workgroups that are focused on achieving the goals outlined in the Hunger Relief Plan.
Data Driven Results
The Hunger Relief Plan is data driven by various studies that have been completed that mapped the assets available to the food insecure such as food pantries; backpack programs; congregate meal sites; Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participating organizations; Summer BreakSpots and many others. In addition, an extensive infrastructure study was completed that resulted in an outlined method to improve the food delivery system in the Glades Region. These studies have identified that Palm Beach County requires 70 million pounds of food to fully serve those suffering from food insecurity. These studies were conducted by Food for Health, the Environment, Economy and Democracy (FHEED) and Feeding Florida (managed by Palm Beach County), and provide critical insights that are helping us develop an effective food system in our community.
The data will ensure that services are not duplicated, the areas of greatest needs receive assistance, new delivery methods are identified to overcome barriers to receiving food, as well as other key decisions.
Highlights of Collaborative Projects
Backpack Programs: Backpack providers and nutritionists came together to establish guidelines around the nutritional components of what should be included in a backpack. A weekend backpack should consist of six meals. The nutritional parameters that the backpack providers will work to achieve over the next year are:
Level Age (years) Calories Carbs (g) Proteins (g)
Elementary School 4 - 11 1,400 – 1,800 130g 19g
Middle School 12 - 14 2,000 – 2,200 130g 34g
High School 15 - 18 2,000 – 2,200 130g 49g
6,817 weekend meal backpacks were distributed to Palm Beach County School District students.
Increase Cold Storage: United Way of Palm Beach County received $50,000 a year for three years from the Farris Foundation to increase the total cubic feet of cold storage for pantries within Palm Beach County. This is critical in helping to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables during growing season. This will allow more food to be distributed year-round as well as help increase the overall amount of food that can be distributed by the pantries. This will also help reduce the 70 million pound shortfall of available food. Summer Meal Outreach: In the summer of 2017, 1,022,033 meals where served to children through the School District and Palm Beach County Youth Services Department. The Childhood Hunger Relief Workgroup partners from numerous agencies worked together to reach out to families in their scope of influence through handouts and social media.
Child and Family Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Outreach: A comprehensive target market campaign was developed to increase the number of people accessing congregate meal sites and increase the number of volunteers working at each site. In 2017, 2,894 seniors were served at congregate meal sites. In addition, USDA’s ‘My Plate’ nutritional guidelines have been translated and are now available in multiple languages: Creole, Spanish and English. This will help to educate families about what food components constitute a healthy meal.
Urban Farms: Urban farms are now accepting EBT payments which will allow for low-income families to be able to affordfresh fruits and vegetables. These farms are located in high need areas which alleviates the transportation barrier that impacts many low-income families.

Through the collective impact framework, we have been able to create strong partnerships that resultin more effective systems, programs and outcomes.
Funding Partners
Pan-Florida Challenge has been funded to serve children in multiple sites in our community through a weekend
meal backpack program. Throughout the year, their staff have visited several schools and learned of the
improvements in student health and well-being. An afterschool program director reported seeing an increase in
student attention and improved classroom behavior with more than 10 of her students. The program director
believes this positive change is due, in part, to students having more access to healthy, nutritious food. The
backpack program bridges the weekend hunger
gap for students until they return to school
where they have access to nutritious meals each
day. This change in healthier eating increases
positive behavior and fosters an atmosphere
where school personnel can establish better
relationships with the children and have greater
quality time together, while the children are
being mentored.

AGENDA ITEM: 3 TITLE: Resolution #18-028 Authorizing CSC Employee Benefits Renewal SUMMARY: Group Insurance Renewals Coverages provided by CSC to its employees are medical coverage, funding of a health savings account for each employee, dental coverage, life insurance and short and long term disability. Each fall CSC’s insurance broker, the Gehring Group, obtains proposals for renewals of the coverages being provided to CSC staff. The Gehring Group reviews and presents the proposals and the associated costs with maintaining the coverages as currently provided. The initial proposal with our current insurance provider, CIGNA Insurance Company, was for an up to 5% premium increase to renew medical and dental coverages. Additional negotiations took place and due to improved plan utilization and reduced claims costs as well as CSC winning the CIGNA Well Being Award for employers under 500; we were able to secure continuation of coverages with our current provider at a 0% increase for all of our group insurance coverages for 2019.

AGENDA ITEM: 4
TITLE: ICMA – Retirement Health Savings (RHS)
SUMMARY:
The Children’s Services Council provides a Retirement Health Savings (RHS) account group benefit to assist staff with saving funds to be used for qualified health expenses at time of retirement. The RHS is a retirement account that complies with IRS requirements. The contributions are made with a percentage of an employee’s accrued sick leave balances converted to dollars on a pre-tax basis. Contributions are made on an annual basis. Employees are eligible to receive RHS benefits at separation of employment from service and vested in the retirement plan.
The chart below represents the number of sick leave hours and the corresponding percentage that will be contributed to the plan on the behalf of the employee in our current plan.
The first two rows of our current contribution levels are not relevant at the current time (meaning current staff do not have the level of sick leave hours accrued). With that said, we are recommending the following change outlined in the following table:
