BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOIVIMENDATIONfS):
Between January and December 2003,the Board of Supervisors referred five new issues to the Family and
Human Services Committee(FHS)in addition to 27 referrals carried forward from the 2002 year.
The FHS Committee heard reports on 25 of the issues referred.In many cases the FHS provided oversight and
guidance on issues; in others it recommended funding allocations for Board approval. In still others,it
considered and made recommendations to the Board on memberships/appointments to committees and advisory
bodies.
Seven referrals were not brought to FHS for discussion during the year. These referrals include:
a) Referral#11—Oversight of the Work of the Policy Forum
This referral was not brought to FHS for discussion due to the fact that the Policy Forum has been
reassessing its purpose and strategies for the coming year. We anticipate reporting on the outcome of
this assessment in the spring 2004.
b) Referral#13—Children and Family Services Program Budget
Due to staffing reductions and loss of key personnel,the production of the 2003-2004Children and
Family Services Program Budget was deferred for one year. This referral will be brought back to FHS
in 2004.
c) .Referral#34—Additional Child Care Facilities for Employees
This referral was last discussed in December 2041. Since that time,the efforts have been on hold due
to funding constraints. This referral is being recommended for closure.
d) Referral#47—Use of Proposition 99 Tobacco Tax and Master Settlement Agreement Revenues
This referral was last discussed in October 2002. At the end of the 2002 year it was decided to
maintain the referral to FHS in case any additional issues arose,however,none have. This referral is
being recommended for closure,
e) Referral#49--Proposition 36—Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Plan
The original referral was made to provide oversight to the implementation of Proposition 36 and the
County's revised plan for the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act. When this item was heard
in February 2002 all issues were resolved,but the Committee requested a follow up. This follow up
was provided in October 2002. This referral is being recommended for closure.
f) Referral#54--Integrated County Organized Health System
The last discussion on this referral took place in August 2002. Since that time,the State is no longer
supporting this health care plan model. Other counties who had previously implemented this model are
no longer being funded. Therefore,the effort has been dropped. This referral is being recommended
for closure.
g,1 Referral#65—Advisory Council on Domestic Violence
This is a new referral. The information requested will not be completed until spring of 2004. This
referral will be heard at that time.
