Contra
FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
Costa
DATE: August 16, 1984
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 2706 (Vicencia)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for AB 2706.
BACKGROUND:
In approving the State Budget for 1984-85, the Governor vetoed funds to more nearly
fully implement the provisions of SB 14 (Chapter 978, Statutes of 1982) , with the
following language:
"I am reducing this item by $20,534,200 for child welfare
services. SB 14 made major changes to child welfare services
programs and was only fully implemented on October 1 , 1983.
There is insufficient data on which to base an augmentation
at this time. Also, according to the Department of Social
Services estimate, the caseload is fully funded and there is no
justification for any further augmentation for 1984-1985."
Assemblyman Vicencia, and several co-authors, including Assemblyman Isenberg and
Senator Garamendi , have amended into an existing bill an appropriation to replace
the $20,534,200 vetoed from the budget by the Governor. As a result of the
hearings before the Finance Committee, it is clear that at least in this County,
SB 14 is, in fact, far from fully funded and that this additional augmentation is
desperately needed to avoid critical program reductions and the layoff of a number
of child welfare staff.
I am, therefore, recommending that the Board adopt a position of support for
AB 2706. The bill is being heard in the Senate Finance Committee this week and,
if approved, should be on the Senate floor shortly.
