BACKGROUND:
Three members of the Local Planning Council for Child Care and
Development (LPC) have provided official notice of their desire to
resign their duties as members of the LPC.
In addition, the LPC is requesting that one member be terminated. The
LPC by-laws state, in Article VII regarding attendance, "Those
accruing three unexcused absences will be notified their appointment
is terminated." This member has not fulfilled her obligations and has
not notified the LPC staff of her interest in remaining on the Council.
Therefore, termination of the appointment is being requested.
The Contra Costa County Local Planning Council for Child Care and
Development (LPC) was established in April 1998. Required by AB
1542, which was passed in 1993, thirty members of the LPC were
appointed by the County Board of Supervisors and the County
Superintendent of Schools. Childcare consumers and providers, public
agency representatives, and community representatives each comprise
20% of the LPC. The remaining 20% are discretionary appointees.
Membership is for a three-year term. On January 7, 2003, membership
was decreased from 30 to 25 members, due to the difficulty being
experienced in filling all of the seats. Membership consists of the
following:
• Five consumer representatives - a parent or person who receives or
has received child care services in the past 36 months;
• Five child care providers - a person who provides child care services
or represents persons who provide child care services;
• Five public agency representatives - a person who represents a city,
county, city and county, or local education agency;
• Five community representatives - a person who represents an agency
or business that provides private funding for child care services or who
advocates for child care services through participation in civic or
community based organizations;
• Five discretionary appointees - a person appointed from any of the
above four categories or outside of those categories at the discretion of
the appointing agencies.
Appointments to the Contra Costa County Local Planning Council for
Child Care and Development (LPC) are subject to the approval of the
Board of Supervisors and County Superintendent of Schools, Dr.
Joseph Ovick. The Board of Supervisors designated the Family and
Human Services Committee to review and recommend appointments
on their behalf. Dr. Susan Magnone, Associate Superintendent,
Educational Services has been designated to review and recommend
appointments on behalf of the County Superintendent of Schools.
