BACKGROUND
The Youth Services Board (YSB) , comprised of six County
Departments, was established by the Board of 'Supervisors in
April, 1979 to plan, design and implement a comprehensive system
.of out-of-home care for children. The YSB has subsequently
become the organization through which all services for youth are
focussed - from County departments, proprietary, and non-profit
agencies and service providers. To assist in this expanded
function, the YSB meets regularly with representatives of youth
serving organizations as the Expanded Youth Services Board
(EYSB) .
Following more than a year of discussion, the EYSB, on
February 22, 1990 , determined that their first priority in
serving children would be for the establishment of the position
of Youth Services Coordinator.
The Governor has recently appointed a state children' s services
coordinator, a position the YSB feels is congruous with the
County' s position.
Under the general direction of the YSB, the person in this
position would provide administrative support in the planning,
research, development and implementation of youth-serving
programs and would advise the YSB of key issues and trends and
formulate recommendations for its consideration, among other
responsibilities. Tasks would include serving as an advocate for
programs, policies and legislation endorsed by the YSB and
identifying possible funding sources, researching funding
requirements and submitting grant applications and proposals.
A Request for Proposal to provide the services of Youth Services
Coordinator has been a collaborative effort of representatives of
the EYSB. This recommendation would allow the County
Administrator or his designee to negotiate the terms of the
contract for this position and to execute the contract.
