Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee. At-Large seats on the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board are assigned to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) for review and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board provides input and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and the Health Services Department concerning family and community needs regarding prevention and treatment of alcohol and drug related problems. The mission of the Contra Costa County Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board is to assess family and community needs regarding treatment and prevention of alcohol and drug abuse problems. The board reports their findings and recommendations to the Contra Costa Health Services Department, the Board of Supervisors, and the communities they serve. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board works in collaboration with the Alcohol and Other Drugs Services of Contra Costa Health Services. The board provides input and recommendations as they pertain to alcohol and other drugs prevention, intervention, and treatment services. Referral Update: The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board conducted a significant amount of outreach in the community to recruit for candidates. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board’s Executive Committee reviewed the application and determined that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements and requests that the Family and Human Services Committee recommend the appointment to the Board of Supervisors. The new appointment is necessary to ensure broader geographical representation on the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board. Approval of this appointment would leave one vacancy, the District III seat, on the AODAB.

Meeting Date:03/28/2022 Subject:Community Services Bureau Proposal to Strengthen Head Start Governance Submitted For: FAMILY & HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE, Department:County Administrator Referral No.: FHS #78 Referral Name: Community Services Bureau/Head Start Oversight Presenter: Dr. Aaron Alarcon-Bowen Contact: L. DeLaney, 925-655-2057 Referral History: Oversight of the Community Services Bureau and Head Start programs was originally referred to the Family and Human Services Committee on March 1, 2005. Since that time the program has provided the Committee with annual updates on the programs and services provided. The last report was received by the FHS Committee on September 27, 2021. Referral Update: Please see the attached report/proposal from the Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau regarding mechanisms and processes to strengthen the Board of Supervisors' guidance and supervision of Head Start in the areas of "strategy, fiscal and policy." Additional information about the Head Start Policy Council can be found here. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): ACCEPT the report/proposal, provide direction to staff as needed, and provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on mechansims and processes to implement. Attachments CSB Governance Proposal FHS Agenda Packet Page 21 of 23 Family and Human Services Committee Community Services Bureau Report/Proposal Background: During the week of February 21st, the Administration for Children and Families conducted a review of CSB that focused on all services areas. After 4 days of exhaustive record analysis, interviews and on-site visits, the Federal Reviewers advised that the final report, which would be released in 45 to 60 days, might include potential findings in the following areas: Health and Safety, Fiscal Monitoring and Governance. The Head Start Performance Standards and the Head Start Act mandate that the Board of Supervisors, as CSB’s Governing Body, provides guidance and supervision in the areas of strategy, fiscal and policy. The Federal Reviewers were not certain that the current mechanisms and processes in place allow for that relationship to happen. Head Start Management Systems Wheel Proposal: With the intention of being proactive, CSB proposes the consideration of the following actions which would strengthen the link between CSB and the Board of Supervisors and increase compliance with federal regulations. 1) CSB suggests the idea of a Board Member attending the Head Start Policy Council meetings (on a rotational basis). The Policy Council is a group of Head Start and Early Head Start parents and community FHS Agenda Packet Page 22 of 23 members who, along with the Board of Supervisors, help lead and make decisions about their program. Policy Council members are elected by the parents of children enrolled in the program. Parents often join the Policy Council after serving on a parent committee. The current Policy Council Executive Team are: Chair, Jasmine Cisneros; Vice Chair, Juan De Dios Batiz; Parliamentarian, Myriah Herrington; and Secretary, Karen Medrano. The Policy Council meets every second Wednesday of the month (except July and December). Members can serve for one year at a time, and for up to five years. Their role is to work closely with the program's management team and the Board of Supervisors to provide overall direction for the program. 2)CSB submits a monthly report to the BOS titled “CAO Report” which is part of the Board agenda as a consent item. This report is a comprehensive document that provides fiscal and programmatic updates. CSB proposes that this item be converted into a Discussion Item and the CSB Director be allowed to be present and available to answer questions or engage in the discussion. 3)CSB suggests to include a standing item covering CSB on the Family and Human Services Committee monthly agenda, and have a quarterly Discussion Item with the full Board (as opposed to monthly as suggested on #2).
