None.
BACKGROUND:
Between January and December 2013, the Board of Supervisors referred one new item to the Family and Human
Services Committee (FHS) in addition to sixteen referrals carried forward from the 2012 year. The FHS Committee
heard thirteen separate reports during the calendar year in addition to making recommendations for appointments to
various County boards and commissions.
Several referrals were not heard during the year. They include the following:
Referral #1 – Child Care Affordability Fund: In 2012 the Family and Human Services Committee
recommended, and the Board of Supervisors approved, a two year funding cycle for allocation of funds to
support child care for low income children. Because 2013 was the second year in the two year cycle, no report
was necessary. A report will be provided to the Committee in 2013 for allocation of additional funds.
1.
Referral #92 – Local Child Care & Development Planning Council – Countywide Child Care Plan: The Contra
Costa Office of Education requested a delay in their report to the Committee. Staff is in the process of
collecting input from the Community that will inform the development of the Comprehensive Countywide
Child Care Plan. They requested a delay so that the information collected from the community could be
included in the report to the Committee once completed.
2.
Referral #103 – SNAP (Food Stamp) Program: Due to the reorganization of several functions within the
Employment and Human Services this program was transferred from the Department Aging and Adult
Services Bureau to the Workforce Services B
3.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The referrals will not be carried over.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
