FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
On March 18, 2010 the Mental Health Commission submitted requests to the members of
the Internal Operations Committee to review practices by the Health Services
Department, Mental Health Commission surrounding the use of and receipt of input from
two groups - the Child and Adolescent Task Force (CATF), a group of private citizens
who advocate for children's mental health services, and the Colsolidated Planning
Advisory Workgroup (CPAW), a workgroup required by the Mental Health Services Act
(Proposition 63) to provide stakeholder input to the Mental Health Division. It should be
noted, however, that the issues being referred to the Internal Operations Committee
impact other departments, advisory bodies, work groups, and task forces than just the
Health Services Department, Mental Health Division.
The letters of request are attached to this Board Order. These letters raise the concerns of
the Mental Health Commission regarding potential conflict of interest on the part of
County staff and contract service providers who participate on advisory boards. In
addition, the Mental Health Commission raises their concerns regarding the provision of
input to the Mental Health Administration by private stakeholder/community groups on
service provision issues.
