INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE Costa
DATE: July 13, 1987 Coiry
SUBJECT: Status Report on the Bay Area
Cancer Prevention Summit
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Request the Assistant Health Services Director--Public
Health to report to our Committee July 27, 1987 on the
outcome of the July 16 planning committee meeting outlined
in his report to us dated July 8, 1987 .
2 . Refer to the Budget Committee to review in conjunction with
the 1987-1988 budget the request for funds outlined by Dr.
Brunner in his July 8 report to our Committee. In
conjunction with that referral, encourage the Health
Services Department staff to reduce the budget request by
amounts which can be obtained through contributions from
other counties, private donations, and reductions in the
total budget requirements.
BACKGROUND:
Our Committee has been overseeing efforts by the Health Services
Department to plan a Bay Area Cancer Prevention Summit for
sometime in the fall of 1987 . In conjunction with that planning,
the Health Services Department has convened a planning committee
meeting of representatives from the Bay Area counties, the State
Department of Health Services, and other concerned organizations.
The initial meeting of the planning committee is scheduled to be
held July 16.
The attached memo dated July 8 outlines the proposed summit and
the planning which will be required in preparation for the
summit. The Health Services Department has outlined a budget of
nearly $43,000. Our Committee does not believe it is appropriate
for Contra Costa County to pay for more than its proportionate
share of this budget. We have suggested to Dr. Brunner that we
should only proceed with the summit if we can obtain financial
participation by most of the Bay Area counties and private
donations from industry groups in the Bay Area. In addition, we
believe some tightening in the proposed budget can be made by
charging most of the participants a registration fee which will
cover some of the expenses.

We have, therefore, recommended that Dr. Brunner report back to
our Committee following the July 16 planning committee meeting so
we can evaluate the extent to which the other counties in the Bay
Area are willing to participate in the planning and financing for
the summit.
We are also recommending that the Budget Committee consider the
need for funds for the summit as a part of their deliberations on
the 1987-1988 County Budget.
