Presenter: Kirsten Upshaw Contact: Dennis Bozanich
925-655-2050
Referral History:
The Contra Costa Commission for Women was formed to educate the community and advise the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic
conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged.
The Commission's mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality
of life for women in Contra Costa County.” In September 2017, the IOC held a discussion about
problems that had been reported concerning the Commission for Women including a spate of
member resignations, inability to achieve a meeting quorum, blurred responsibilities,
disagreement over the Commission's mission, factions and fragmentation, open meeting act
errors, and loss of interest among some of the membership. The IOC has worked with the
Commission over the next two years to institute policy and bylaws changes to address the issues
that have hindered functioning of the Commission. The Commission for Women continues to face
membership challenges. The committee consists of 15 members and one alternate including:
Five district representatives, (one from each supervisorial districts)
Ten At Large members, and
One At-Large Alternate.
The five district representative are nominated for a four year term by each other the five members
of the Board of Supervisors. The ten At-Large members and the one alternate are nominated by
the CCCWG membership committee and forwarded to the full CCCWG.
Referral Update:
The purpose of this agenda item is to forward to you the following recommendation from the Contra Costa
Commission for Women and Girls (CCWG).
Appoint Catherine Jones to the At Large 5 Commissioner Seat on the CCCWG, a term
ending February 28, 2022.

Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I am interested in joining the Commission for Women & Girls. We know that the COVID-19 crisis is having
an outsized impact on women. Women are suffering economic setbacks not only from lost jobs, but also
from increased unpaid responsibilities. Women are the majority of US essential workers; in Contra Costa
this is reflected in the fact that 52% of COVID-19 cases are in women. I am interested in joining the
Contra Costa Commission for Women & Girls to help advocate for the unique needs of women as we
weather this crisis.

FAMILY AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE 4. d.
Meeting Date:01/25/2021
Subject:Appointments to FACT
Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: NA
Referral Name: Advisory Board Appointment
Presenter: Laura Malone Contact: Laura Malone; 8-4943
Referral History:
On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy
governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of
Supervisors. Included in this resolution was the requirement that applications for
at-large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors sub-committee. The Family and
Children’s Trust Committee (FACT), was established in 1982 by the Contra Costa County Board
of Supervisors to make funding recommendations on the allocation of a variety of funds for
prevention and intervention services to reduce child abuse and neglect, provide supportive
services to families and children, and promote a more coordinated, seamless system of services
for families. Funding for FACT supported projects derived from federal and state program
legislation, and donations to the County’s Family and Children’s Trust Fund. Every two years, the
members of 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 two years. At-Large and non-District appointed seat vacancies on the FACT have been
assigned for Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS) review since 2003.
Referral Update:
38
At-Large Seat 1 was declared vacant on January 5, 2021 upon transition of a FACT Committee
member to the vacant District II Seat. The FACT Committee voted on November 2, 2020 to
recommend appointment of Pa'tanisha Davis to At-Large Seat 1 contingent upon seat vacancy.
Candidates for appointment to the FACT Committee typically serve a two-year term. The
At-Large Seat 1 currently has a term expiration of September 30, 2022.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the appointment of Pa'tanisha Davis to At-Large Seat
1 expiring on September 30, 2022 on the Family and Children's Trust Committee, as
recommended by the Employment and Human Services Department.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
No fiscal impact.
