On October 10, 1994 our Committee met with staff from the County
Administrator' s Office and several County departments, as well as
members of the Policy Academy.
Sara Hoffman from the County Administrator' s Office noted that the
Services Integration sites had both opened and were functioning.
The AB 1741 application was submitted to the State on time. Staff
is now working on a new initiative for the Richmond Center. This
application is due to the State on November 17, 1994 and deals with
juvenile crime prevention. The Bay Point Services Integration site
is working closely with the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, as
was described to our Committee by Richard Clark from the school
district. This is providing an opportunity for school staff and
the services integration staff to meet together and discuss
strategies for addressing the complex needs of specific families
from the target area.
Karen Mitchoff from Supervisor DeSaulnier' s Office described the
recruitment efforts which are underway by the Policy Academy, which
has taken to heart the specific suggestions which were made by the
Board of Supervisors . The Policy Academy is currently recruiting
for members and will hold its first meeting under its expanded
membership on November 3, 1994 .
We are extremely pleased with the progress which has been made in
the areas of Services Integration, the Policy Academy and the
Family Maintenance Organization. These are important concepts
which point to whole new ways in which to address the needs of the
community and specific families in the community. We want to
continue to encourage each of these concepts and are asking for an
additional progress report at the end of November.
