BACKGROUNDIREASONS FOR REC0Mt111ENQAT1%jJS1:
Between January and December 2004, the Board of Supervisors referred nine new
issues to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) in addition to 22 referrals
carried forward from 2003.
The FHS Committee heard reports on 24 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.
The above recommendations for carryover or closure are based on whether the issues
referred have been completely addressed, additional review is still necessary, or the
referral is for on-going monitoring. The two referrals are recommended to be placed on
hold for the next year. These referrals include:
a. Referral#13-- Children and Family Services Program Budget
Due to staffing reductions and loss of key personnel, the production of the 2003-
2004 Children and Family Services Program Budget was deferred indefinitely.
b. Referral#22 — Emergency Medical Services
This referral has not been heard since 2000. The referral has been held open in
case additional issues arose. Since no new issues have been brought forward, we
recommend closing this referral.
