RECOMMENDATION

body
BACKGROUND
The University of Cincinnati Research Institute's agreement allows for the development and pilot of two program surveys (Youth Participants and Family) to assist the County in assessing the performance of its youth programming. The Youth surveys are designed to gather data from program youth regarding topics such as their understanding of key programming teachings, beliefs of the likelihood of future behaviors, and perception of their own attitude and behavior changes since participating in the program, as well as across the aftercare period. The Family surveys are designed to gather data from families regarding their post-program observations of youth's attitude and behavior changes since participating in the program, as well as across the aftercare period.
The Board's approval is needed to approve this agreement because the county has a separate existing agreement with this vendor. The combined amount of the agreements with this vendor exceeds the Department Head and Chief Executive Officer signing authority.
State realigned funding will be used to offset the entire professional fees of this agreement.
Requested Action:
Authorize an Agreement No. 260006B with the University of Cincinnati Research Institute for the term May 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025, for a contract maximum of $26,000, and one (1) automatic annual renewal.
