SUBJECT: PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE FAMILY AND CHILDREN'S TRUST
COMMITTEE (FACT)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Request that both the Family & Children' s Trust Committee (FACT)
and the Human Services Advisory Commission consider abolishing FACT
and turning its current responsibilities over, to the Human Services
Advisory Commission. Request that representatives from both groups
meet with the Internal Operations Committee on September 28, 1992
and share with our Committee their thoughts, reactions and
recommendations regarding the above proposal .
BACKGROUND:
The Family & Children' s Trust Committee (FACT) forwarded to our
Committee the attached memorandum, suggesting that FACT- be
restructured as suggested in order to remove some organizations
which have not participated in FACT and to provide more flexibility
to FACT.
Our Committee would like to explore a different scenario, although
we emphasize that this is only one possibility. The Human Services
Advisory Commission (HSAC) has not been meeting recently because of
a lack of staff support and a lack of clarity regarding the charge
to the Commission.. At the same time, it has been difficult to
recruit enough members to keep FACT fully constituted. We would
like to explore the possibility of combining FACT and HSAC. and
providing the combined group with the charge which has been the
responsibility of FACT, namely to recommend to the Board of
Supervisors the allocation of funds in the Family & Children' s
Trust, the AB 299.4 funds and the AB 1733 funds and to evaluate the
manner in which the agencies which receive these funds are
expending them.

I .O.-3
Our Committee is certainly open to exploring other alternatives,
including the one originally suggested by FACT. However, with the
reduced money available to provide all services, it seems
appropriate to consider every way in which we can combine,
consolidate and streamline committees, commissions and advisory
boards . We will plan to meet with both FACT and HSAC on September
28, 1992 and then report further to the Board of Supervisors on
this matter after that meeting.
