Re: Reassignment of County seats on the Children and
Families Commission
' I
' I
' I
As you know, with the merger of the Community Services and Employment
and Human Services Departments, the Children and Families Commission is
left with an unassigned County seat. The Commission's enacting ordinance,
section 26-14.006 (b) of the County Code, stipulates that
Three members of the [Children and Families]commission shall be appointed
by board order from among the county health officer and persons responsible
for management of the following counfy functions: children's services, public
health services, behavioral health services, social services and tobacco and
other substance abuse prevention and treatment services. The three initial
appointments are the county health officer, the social services director, and
the community services director.
I
Additionally, the code addresses the appointment of alternate
Commissioners:
The board shall appoint one alternate commission member for each of the
following membership categories as below provided:
' I
(1) For each member appointed p,'ursuant to subsection (b) of Section 26-
14.006, the deputy nominee proposed by each involved member

Memo to Mr. John Cullen Page 2 of 2
i
i
I
The merger of the Community Services;Department and the Employment and
Human Services Department under one director eliminates one of the initial
appointments specified in the ordinance. At the same time that you
announced the merger you also announced the creation of a new position in
the Administrator's Office, a County Chjldren's Services Coordinator. When
you and I spoke about this soon after you welcomed a recommendation from
the Commission for the third seat as well as the alternate that you could in
turn present to the Board of Supervisors.
The Commission's Executive Committee has discussed this situation in
several meetings`and approved the following recommendation at its October
16, 2006 meeting:
The Executive Committee recommends to the County Administrator and
the Board of Supervisors that the current Children's Services
Coordinator be appointed to the Cofnmission to replace the Community
Services Director, with the alternate commissioner to be from within the
Community Services Bureau to preserve representation on the
Commission of both the early education and child welfare programs
within EHSD.
I hope you will look favorably on this recommendation and ask for the Board's
approval for the appointment. If you have any questions or concerns please
do not hesitate to call me.
