SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Direct the County Administrator to work with the Children' s Coalition
and the Human Services Advisory Commission to establish a communica-
tions network for the purpose of notifying interested parties of
legislative activity related to the provision/financing of Children' s
Services.
BACKGROUND:
On May 5, 1986 , our Committee met with representatives of the Chil-
dren' s Coalition to discuss the unmet needs of children; within the
County and the Coalition' s concern about obtaining adequate County
funding next fiscal year to meet those unmet needs. The Committee
reiterated the Board policy that children' s services are a very high
priority for funding. It was acknowledged, however, that very little
discretionary funds will be available to augment County services
beyond the current year funding level. It was noted that representa-
tives of the Children' s Coalition and any other interested parties
will have the opportunity during the Board' s public hearings on the
1986-87 budget to inform the Board of Children' s Services ' funding
needs.
One of the issues discussed during our meeting was the need for
persons interested in Children' s Services to be made aware of proposed
state legislation affecting this vital service area. There is a need
for interested parties to respond timely on such matters. There is a
need for Children' s Services representatives to develop a consensus of
opinion on proposed legislation and to present that opinion in con-
cert. The Committee was of the opinion that the County Administrator
should work with representatives of the Children' s Coalition and the
Human Services Advisory Commission to establish a communications
network among parties interested in Children' s Services.
