BACKGROUND: In the past, the Board of Supervisors has been very supportive of a variety of measures to provide additional funding to libraries. In the Board's 1997 legislative program, the Board supports bond measures being placed on the ballot to provide additional funding for libraries. Senator Thompson has introduced SB 154 which takes a somewhat different direction. It would allow a board of supervisors to increase the sales tax by either 1/8¢ or %0 for not to exceed 16 years, providing the measure is first submitted to the voters and is approved by a 2/3 majority. The funds could only be used for funding public library construction, acquisition, programs, and operations within the county. The revenue from the sales tax increase could only be used to supplement and not supplant existing funding.

As introduced, SB 159 would designate Contra Costa County as a demonstration site to test the value of concurrent planning as a means of speeding up the adoptions process and increasing the number of children who are adopted where reunification is no longer a realistic possibility. BACKGROUND: On November 19, 1996, the Board of Supervisors adopted its legislative program for 1996. Included in the legislative program was the following item: "8. SPONSOR legislation or seek an administrative decision to designate Contra Costa County as a demonstration county under the Governor's Adoption Initiative. In the 1996-97 State Budget, the Governor proposed a concurrent planning model whereby Social Service Department staff would concurrently plan for the long-term placement needs of a child while still trying to return the child to his or her family. In this way, if it turns out that preserving the family unit is not going to be possible, planning will already be underway or completed for addressing the CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: —YES SIGNATURE: 2"� ;eD _RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR —RECOMMENDATION_.

The Social Service Director believes that this County is ideally situated to be a demonstration county for this purpose. The Department's experience and level of readiness could help the State identify the pluses and minuses of launching the initiative statewide. It is not clear at this time whether legislation is necessary for this or whether simply an administrative decision within the State Department of Social Services could accomplish the designation." Senator Rainey has agreed to author this legislation for the County and has introduced SB 159 for this purpose. Additional amendments will be needed to flesh out what is a very preliminary version of the bill at this point. In view of the fact that SB 159 has been introduced at the request of the Board of Supervisors, it is appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to acknowledge its sponsorship of SB 159. cc: County Administrator Social Service Director Sara Hoffman, Senior Deputy County Administrator Les Spahnn Heim, Noack, Kelly & Spahnn 1121 L Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95814 -2- SENATE BILL No. 159 Introduced by Senator Rainey January 15, 1997 An act to add Section 16003 to the Welfare and Institutions, relating to public social services. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 159, as introduced, Rainey. Children: placement. Existing law provides for the placement of a child in foster care when the child is removed from his or her family home. This bill would require the Director of Social Services to designate Contra Costa County as a pilot county to test the effectiveness of concurrently planning for family reunification and for placement in an adoptive home. The bill would authorize Contra Costa County to apply to the department for an unspecified amount from an item in the Budget Act of 1996 for this purpose. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. The people of the State of California do enact as follows. 1 SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of 2 the following: 3 (a) The Governor proposed an adoption initiative in 4 the 1996-97 State Budget and has provided $7,000,000 to 5 improve the statewide adoption system by removing 6 barriers that keep children in long-term foster care and 7 impede public agency productivity. 99 SB 159 — 2 - 1 (b) Concurrent planning is a method whereby 2 reuniting a child with his or her family and permanency 3 planning in an adoptive home are pursued 4 simultaneously in order to speed up the placement of the 5 child with an adoptive family if returning the child to his 6 or her birth family is determined not to be possible. 7 (c) The success of concurrent planning hinges on the 8 ability of a county welfare department to find, recruit, 9 and prepare a pool of families who can provide a foster 10 home while the goal for the child is reunification with the 11 birth family, and who can also commit to adopting and 12 raising the child if reunification fails. 13 (d) Concurrent planning is consistent with the goals of 14 the Governor's adoption initiative and should be tested to 15 determine its value in increasing the number of 16 adoptions. 17 (e) Contra Costa County is presently testing 18 concurrent planning and is willing to serve as a 19 demonstration site to test the value of concurrent 20 planning in increasing the number of adoptive 21 placements and decreasing the time required to finalize 22 an adoption. 23 SEC. 2. Section 16003 is added to the Welfare and 24 Institutions Code, to read: 25 16003. (a) The director shall designate Contra Costa 26 County as a pilot county to test the effectiveness of 27 concurrent planning as a means to increase the number 28 of adoptions and to decrease the time required to finalize 29 an adoption. 30 (b) Contra Costa County may apply to the 31 department for an amount not to exceed dollars 32 ($ ) from the Governor's adoption initiative, 33 which is incorporated in Item 5180-001-0001 of the Budget 34 Act of 1996 (Ch. 162, Stats. 1996) , for the purpose of 35 testing concurrent planning pursuant to subdivision (a) .
