Phil Batchelor, County Administrator ;
4° County
DATE: January 17, 1991 -
SUBJECT: AMEND 1991 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM IN REGARD TO ITEM # 6 REGARDING
THE GENERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Amend the Board' s 1991 Legislative Program to extend the period
of time to achieve the objectives outlined for Item # 6 regarding
the General Assistance in-kind program so as to allow for time
during calendar year 1991 to develop a proposal in detail and
then introduce legislation in January, 1992, rather than trying
to achieve passage of the legislation in 1991.
BACKGROUND:
One of the items in the Board' s 1991 Legislative Program was the
passage of legislation which would provide for an in-kind General
Assistance Program for the homeless similar to that being
operated in Sacramento County with, however, more of an
inter-departmental focus on addressing the total range of
problems presented by these individuals and families.
County staff has, however, determined that it may be more
appropriate to take more time to develop this proposal in more
detail, ` accomplish consensus among the involved County
departments regarding the exact nature of the proposal the County
should seek to achieve, discuss the precise proposal with
appropriate State agencies and attempt to achieve their support
for the proposal, discuss the proposal with key legislators and
attempt to obtain their support for the proposal and then move
toward introduction of legislation in 1992, rather than
attempting to press for passage of legislation in 1991.
