SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors accept this report from the Family &
Children's Trust Committee providing information on the allocation of AB 2994 (Birth
Certificate Funds) and the Family & Children's Trust Fund voluntary property tax
donations.
II . BACKGROUND
On April 16, T985, the Board of Supervisors established the Family & Children's Trust
(FACT) Committee and directed the Social Service Department to provide staff support.
The charge of this committee is to make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors
on allocation of AB 1733 (Child Abuse Intervention and Prevention), AB 2994 (Birth
Certificate Funds) and the Family & Children's Trust Fund voluntary property tax
donations.
The FACT Committee has met several times recently regarding, continuation of AB 2994
contracts and allocation of monies from the voluntary property tax donations. In
respect to AB 2994 funding they have recommended continuation of two contract services
as follows:
Contractor Service Effective Dates Payment Limit
Bay Area Respite Care 8/16/85 to 11/15/85 $ 12,500
Crisis Nursery (3 month extension)
Contra Costa Parenting Training 5/15/85 to 5/15/86 29,865
Children's Council
TOTAL: $ 42,365
In order to allocate funds from the voluntary tax donations, they have prioritized
services which are unfunded and could be provided with limited grants of money and
have used an application process for allocation of the $23,355 currently in the fund.
Based on application evaluation criteria, the FACT Committee is making the following
funding recommendations:

The balance of approximately $3,865 in the Family &. Children' s Trust fund
will be utilized to solicit additional funds through the property tax
statements.
In some of the above allocations the Family & Children's Trust allocation will
supplement other funding. But without this additional funding,. the entire
program might be jeopardi.zed. The FACT Committee has completed its Family &
Children's Trust allocation process for this year and the Social Service
Department Contracts Unit will now complete and administer standard county
contracts for expenditure of this money.
The purpose of this report is to apprise the Boardof the recent work accom-
plished by .the FACT Committee which is to be commended for their support of
the Social Service Department service needs and their commitment to Family &
Children's Services.
