CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
Mr. Twa, County Administrator, reported that there are few additional impacts in the
areas of health services and human services from the May Revise. There is some
discussion of increases in foster care provider rates and in the In Home Supportive
Services Public Authority (IHSS) administration, both of which have a county match for
funding. The reduction in reimbursement for IHSS administrative services is
approximately $230,000, the increase in foster care costs is estimated to be about
$453,000. Another major issue is the reduction of prisoners housed by the State. The
Supreme Court upheld the decision which will require approximately 33,000 to be
released over a two year period. This will hasten AB 109, public safety realignment. The
low-level offenders would be moved to County installations. We are seeking a
constitutional guarantee of funding. That would require some sort of extension of the
Vehicle License Fee and the sales tax, both of which are expiring in June of this year.
There are no concrete answers on funding at this time. Supervisors Gioia and Glover's
Chiefs of Staff will be making a presentation to the California State Association of
Counties on a strategic plan for managing the public safety realignment on June 2, 2011
in Sacramento. More information on costs and funding streams will available soon.
