First 5 Sacramento - 6/1/26

The County of Sacramento's First 5 Sacramento Commission held a meeting on June 1, 2026, focusing on various program updates, recognitions, and key procurement decisions. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to honoring Commissioner Dr. Olivia Kasirye for her dedicated service. The Commission approved a contract with AJW Inc. for a customizable data management system, valued at up to $267,500 for the period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, following a competitive RFP process. Additionally, the Commission approved a revenue agreement with the Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance for the CalWORKs Home Visiting Program, with a contract amount up to $4.45 million, and an expenditure agreement with the Child Abuse Prevention Council of Sacramento. Another key procurement action was the approval of a $140,829 contract with Touchstone Leadership Group for capacity-building consulting services for Equity in Action grantees from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. The Commission also reviewed and approved the First 5 Sacramento Implementation Plan for fiscal years 2027-28 through 2029-30, which includes a 20% funding reduction but maintains a strong focus on racial equity and community-driven decision-making. The plan allows flexibility for contractors to manage funding allocations within the reduced budget. No significant opposition or public comments against these procurement actions were noted during the meeting.
