BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the FACT establish a series of county priorities for the use of these funds through review of existing data and
reports and by holding Public Hearings in various areas of the county. The Committee then develops a
competitive bidding process to select non-profit, community-based agencies that can best provide the services
determined to be most important. Program recommendations are made to the Board of Supervisors which makes
the final funding decisions. The Committee continues to evaluate these funded programs to ensure continued
provision of quality service and achievement of stated goals. Programs currently being supported include
countywide parenting classes, therapeutic day care for emotionally disturbed children, treatment for families,
young children and teens with both substance abuse and child abuse issues, services for homeless families, and
projects to support children whose mothers have been victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The FACT has up to fifteen members who are appointed by the Board and include citizens with expertise in
children’s issues, education, law, non-profit agency management, public health, and program research/evaluation.
In addition, the Director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council sits as ex-officio member of the Committee and
participates in all matters except actually voting on funding recommendations. Terms for all Commission seats are
three years.
At Large seat vacancies on the FACT have been assigned for Family & Human Services Committee (F&HS)
review since 2003. In 2011 the Board of Supervisors, by resolution, expanded the FACT seats assigned for review
by F&HS to include all non-Supervisorial District seats. The Family and Human Services Committee has
reviewed the recommendation and supports this appointment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Supervisors does not approve this appointment the Family and Children's Trust Committee will
not include a representative from the First Five Commission.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
