Mr. Starr has been instrumental in developing a program in conjunction with the Tony LaRussa animal Rescue Foundation at the girls' center for the girls to work with puppies and kittens. This progradn has been done successfully in other counties and Mr. Starr has worked tirelessly since the idea was presented to him to make it a reality. The County Juvenile Justice Commission,the County Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Committee and its Girls' Needs Committee, the County Office of Education and Congressman George Miller have direct knowledge of Mr. Starr's actions in securing sponsors and funding to develop this animal program. In addition to his successful efforts to secure funding for a new Juvenile hall for Contra',Costa County, Mr. Starr has worked hard since he arrived in Contra Costa County five years Jago to develop a much needed treatment program for girls. This program is scheduled to begin operation in early November and the anim-al program will be an intregal component of the program. This matter has been scheduled for the October 19 meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Gayle B. Uilkema is sponsoring this nomination. If additional information is needed, please call.
