The Board of Supervisors, having been advised of the Superior

04503, it is by the Board Ordered:
1 . County Counsel is directed to appeal from the Court's
preliminary injunction, in consolidation with the appeal from the Court's
preliminary injunction in Scates v. RydinQsword.
2 . County Counsel is directed to apply for a writ of prohibition
(in consolidation with the writ concerning the Court's preliminary
injunction in Scates v. RvdinQsword) , insofar as the Superior Court's order
purports to extend the right to benefits under Welfare and Institutions
Code section 17000 to persons who do not meet the County's standards for
General Assistance eligibility. The consolidated writ proceeding shall
include as a subject of the requested writ the Court's establishment of the
Spring Shelter Plan and the Emergency Assistance Program as entitlements
under Welfare and Institutions Code section 17000 .
3 . Notwithstanding that the County's appeal will stay the
mandate of the Superior Court, the Social Service Director is directed to
continue the Emergency Assistance Program and Special Needs for excess
housing costs, household linen, restaurant meals, utility shut-offs, eye
glasses, medical transportation, and hair cuts pending further order of the
Court or of this Board.
