Executive Director On January 3, 2000 the Commission selected Brenda Blasingame as the Commission's Executive Director after an extensive recruitment process. Ms. Blasingame is formerly the Homeless Program Manager for the County. Ms. Blasingame brings to the Commission a background in strategic planning and extensive experience managing public processes that require coordination among diverse groups and interests. Ms. Blasingame will terminate her position with the County Health Services Department and become a full time employee of the Commission on January 24, 2000. Strategic Plan The most urgent matter before the Commission is completion of a strategic plan. Completion of such a plan is required by Proposition 10 as a prerequisite for spending State funds. The Commission is currently reviewing applications for a strategic planning consultant who will work with the Commission and the Executive Director to develop a strategic pian. The Commission intends to complete its strategic pian by the end of May 2000. The Commission has secured an $83,000 grant from a group of local foundations for participation in an initiative called the Civic Engagement Project. The Civic Engagement Project will fund activities to increase public participation in the implementation of Proposition 10. Civic Engagement activities will be integrated with the Commission's strategic planning process. The strategic planning process will include numerous opportunities for community involvement. Beginning in February, the Commission intends to hold neighborhood meetings throughout the county to engage community members and service providers and gain a better understanding of the needs of young children and their families. The Commission is also forming relationships with various advisory groups with an interest in the full range of child development issues, including the Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development (LPC), the Mental Health Advisory Board and the Public Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB). A draft strategic plan will be released for public comment and the Commission will hold at least one public hearing on the plan prior to adoption and submission of the plan to the State. Fund Allocation A trust fund has been established by the County Auditor/Controller for receipt of Proposition 10 funds from the State. The current balance in the trust fund is $9.7 million. Once the strategic planning process is completed, the next phase of the Commission's work will be to allocate funds for early childhood development services. Criteria for allocating funds will be based on the priorities set forth in the strategic plan. Proposition 28 Proposition 28 on the March 2000 ballot is an initiative to repeal Proposition 10. At the next regular Commission meeting on February 7, the Commission will consider a resolution declaring the Commission's opposition to Proposition 28. A position for the Board of Supervisors can be developed for a future agenda, if desired. f f{J) �Y� THE B �� F RA Ul, C F RM- U,T Adopted this Resolution on February 8,2040,by the following vote: AYES: SUPERVISORS GIOIA, UIIY MA, DESAULNIER, CANCIAMILI A and GERBER NOES: NON ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE RESOLUTION N0.2000/_51 SUBJECT: Tabulation of Mail-In Ballots,Confirmation of Diagram and Assessment and Levy of Street Light Charges for SUB 8016,County Service Area L-100,Alamo area.
