RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

 

Authorize the County Procurement Officer or Deputized designee to execute the non-financial Memorandum of Understanding with Olive Crest, for Commercially Sexually Exploited Children Support Services, effective upon Board approval, through June 30, 2026.

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

Approval of the non-financial Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Orange Social Services Agency and Olive Crest will provide support services for commercial sexually exploited children and those at-risk of becoming victims.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The support services for Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) aims to prevent exploitation and recidivism among CSEC and at-risk youth. The program gives opportunities to engage in supportive services and activities to help participants transition into safe and stable homes. Eligible service participants include CSEC youth ages 11 to 18, at-risk youth, and non-minor dependents. Services provided through the MOU include assessments, therapy, care coordination, and placement coordination.

 

This new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allows the Social Services Agency (SSA) to refer clients to Olive Crest for support services for CSEC and those at risk of becoming victims. Olive Crest received a grant from the state of California to provide support services (which will expire on June 30, 2026). After June 2026, if youth still need therapy and services, Olive Crest has committed to maintaining continuity of care for youth who are actively engaged in services beyond June 2026. The County will not be billed for any services rendered under this MOU.

 

Non-Standard Insurance Provisions

 

The MOU with Olive Crest has non-standard insurance provisions that eliminate the requirement of Per Occurrence Sexual Misconduct Liability (SML) Insurance. Olive Crest is unable to attain Per Occurrence SML. Olive Crest stated they were unable to identify an insurer that they could purchase this insurance from in the United States or abroad. Olive Crest currently carries Claims-Made SML Insurance and will be required to maintain this insurance throughout the term of the MOU. County Executive Office Risk Management does not concur with the elimination of the requirement for Per Occurrence SML. See Attachment B Risk Assessment Form.

 

This program offers valuable support to CSEC and those at risk of becoming victims. SSA is therefore asking the Board of Supervisors (Board) to approve this MOU containing non-standard insurance provisions.

 

SSA now requests the Board’s approval of the MOU with Olive Crest for support services for CSEC, effective upon Board approval, through June 30, 2026.
