Dear Board Members:
RE: APPROVAL OF LOCAL COORDINATING COMMITTEE TO IMPLEMENT AB
1087 (Chapter 92, Statutes of 1989)
The Board of Supervisors has received a letter dated December 15,
1989 from Ronald L. Stewart, Ed.D. , Superintendent of School for
Contra Costa County, recommending that the Board of Supervisors
approve the composition of a Local Coordinating Committee of
specified membership. As a result of a telephone conversation
with Dr. Stewart, he has clarified that he is also recommending
that the community input provided to his office for purposes of
implementing one specific section of AB 75, dealing with the
tobacco prevention provisions funded by Proposition 99 as they
apply to the Superintendent of Schools, be combined under the
auspices of the Local Coordinating Committee required by AB 1087.
Urgency legislation was signed into law by the Governor on July
5, 1989. This legislation is AB 1087 (Chapter 92 , Statutes of
1989) . AB 1087 amended legislation (AB 198, Chapter 83 , Statutes
of 1989) which created in the Office of Criminal Justice Planning
the Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Prevention Education Program.
This Program is intended to funnel to County Superintendents of
Schools certain specified funds which are designed to supplement
the Suppression of Drug Abuse in Schools Program. The
Superintendent, in turn, forwards these funds to individual
school districts.
AB 1087 changes the name of this program to the Comprehensive
Alcohol and Drug Prevention Education component of the
Suppression of Drug Abuse in Schools Program.
In order to receive funds under this program, the County
Superintendent of Schools must meet certain requirements of the
law, including the following:
"Each county superintendent of schools shall establish and chair
a local coordinating committee to assist the superintendent in
developing and implementing a countywide implementation plan.
This committee shall include the county drug administrator, law
enforcement executives, school district governing board members
and administrators, school faculty, parents, and drug prevention
and intervention program executives selected by the
superintendent and approved by the county board of supervisors"
(emphasis added) .
Legislation was also enacted in 1988 in an effort to bring
alcohol and drug planning more closely together. This
legislation, SB 2599 (Chapter 983, Statutes of 1988) , requires
the County' s alcohol advisory board and drug abuse advisory board
to meet together at least twice a year and urges that the County
prepare a five year drug and alcohol master plan.
SB 2599 recommends, but does not require, the formation of a
multidisciplinary drug and alcohol abuse advisory body. SB 2599
requires, if such an advisory body is formed, that "The
membership of the local advisory body is representative of the
county' s population, geographically balanced, and consists of
representatives of each of the following:
(A) Law enforcement.
(B) Education.
(C) The treatment and recovery community, including a
representative with expertise in AIDS treatment services.
(D) The judiciary.
(E) County alcohol and drug administrators or their designees.
(F) Student groups.
(G) Parent groups.
(H) Private industry.
(I) Other community organizations involved in drug and alcohol
services. "
Dr. Stewart' s letter references SB 2599 . However, in talking
with him this afternoon, he indicated that we should ignore that
reference, since it was not his intent to involve his office in
the responsibilities to implement SB 2599, which are clearly the
responsibility of the County Health Services Department.
• -3-
Dr. Stewart' s letter also suggests that this same Local
Coordinating Committee administer the provisions of AB 75
(Chapter 1331, Statutes of 1989) , which appropriates the
cigarette tax funds from Proposition 99. (Although not
specified, it is our understanding that this reference to AB 75
is specifically to Chapter 1.2 (commending with' Section 24160)
which was added to Division 20 of the Health & Safety Code by AB
75 and which deals with Tobacco Use Prevention.
We would draw the Board of Supervisors' attention to the
following comments which staff would make in regard to Dr.
Stewart' s letter:
1. The Local Coordinating Committee is required to include the
county drug administrator. There is some confusion as to
who that individual is since it was Dr. Stewart' s
understanding that that individual was Stuart McCullough,
whereas Chuck Deutschman is generally understood to be the
Drug Program Administrator. We would recommend that the
Board authorize the Health Services Director to designate
who that individual will be and that the list provided by
Dr. Stewart be amended to simply refer to the County Drug
Administrator without reference to a specific individual.
It is our understanding that the Health Services Director
would also like to have the County Alcohol Administrator
added to the Committee. Dr. Stewart has indicated that he
has obtained an extension of time until January 19, 1990 to
submit the membership for the Local Coordinating Committee.
If the Board of Supervisors is not satisfied with the
membership of the Committee the. Board may wish to simply
withhold their approval of the Committee and ask the
Superintendent to meet with the Health Services Director to
alter the membership of the Committee and return a revised
membership to the Board on January 16, 1990 .
2. It is recommended that any Board Order approving the Local
Coordinating Committee not make any reference to AB 75 since
the Board of Supervisors is not required to approve the
mechanism which the Superintendent uses to provide input for
the tobacco education education responsibilities he has
pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 24168 .1 as added by
AB 75 and that the Board' s Order specifically indicate that
the approval of the Local Coordinating Committee does not
imply that the Board of Supervisors is delegating any
responsibility to the Superintendent to implement any aspect
of SB 2599.
With these stipulations, we believe the Board of Supervisors can
approve the membership of the Local Coordinating Committee. We
-4-
would note that the Board of Supervisors does not appear to have
any authority to change the membership of the Committee as
presented by the Superintendent, simply to approve or not approve
the membership which is presented to the Board.
Very truly yours
Claude L. Van Marter
Assistant County Administrator
