FROM: John Cullen, Director CostaEmployment & Human Services Department - s
DATE: August 14, 2001 °°sTq �o�,� `� County
SUBJECT: Authorize Relocation of Adoptions Program Per State of California's
Community Care Licensing Regulations
SPECIFIC REQUESTS)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE the change of name of the Adoptions Licensing Unit from Contra Costa County
Social Services Department to the Children & Family Services Bureau of the Employment and
Human Services Department of Contra Costa County; and
FURTHER AUTHORIZE either the Division Manager (Linda Canan) or the Program Analyst
(Toni Nestore) to act in and on behalf of the Children & Family Services Bureau of the
Employment and Human Services Department of Contra Costa County regarding all
administrative details surrounding this name change.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT
This action impacts three of the community outcomes: 1) Children Ready for and Succeeding
in School; 2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; and 4)
Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing
BACKGROUND:
This is an administrative action. Recently, this Board authorized the change of location of the
Adoptions Licensing Unit. We have now been informed by the California Department of Social
Services' Community Care Licensing Office that it also requires approval from the Board of
Supervisors, acting as the "Board of Directors" of a licensed adoption agency, to authorize the
changing of the name of the agency (since this department changed its name to the
"Employment and Human Services Department" last year). Failure to approve this name
change will potentially result in the suspension of our license to conduct adoption services in
Contra Costa County to the significant detriment of the families in our county seeking to adopt
and the children in our county seeking loving, permanent homes.
