BACKGROUND The subject position has been held vacant for several months pending the review of organizational alternatives presented in the Ryland Report. The Finance Committee discussed the position as it may relate to potential future organizational changes. Because of the increasingly technical functions performed by the Fire Prevention Bureau and :the increasing number of large high--rise structures, the position requires filling by someone who has had recent working experience with fire prevention activities and is familiar with the workings of the Bureau as it operates in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

BACKGROUND: The Human Services Advisory Commission was requested by the Board on April 12, 1983 to undertake the; sponsorship of a public forum on the State proposal to combine some existing public health, alcohol and drug programs into two State Block Grants in the FY 1983-1984 Budget, and to submit a recommendation for the Board's consideration. On August 11 , 1984, the Commission presented a memoranda report to the Board on their findings and recommendations, and in connection therewith was further requested to convene required meetings to identify issues of difference between the State proposal and specific programs, and to establish where possible acceptable guidelines and compromises. The purpose was to provide the Board with recommendations for proposed legislation and implementing regulations. Meetings were held in Oakland and Orinda, California, and the Commission submitted its final report to the Board which was accepted on November 1 , 1983 and referred to the Finance Committee for consideration. The Finance Committee considered the Report on December 19, 1983. The Committee concurred with the concerns and reservations expressed in the Report on the proposed blocking of certain existing public health programs and the proposal for implementing the grants. Inasmuch as the Administration is again mounting an effort to implement human services block grants, the Committee recommended that a step-by-step look at block grant implementation be undertaken so that the Board could provide input to the Legislature on block grant structure.
