I . RECOMMENDATION:
Approve composition as shown below of two advisory
committees to assist in the development of the Greater

Program: ( 1) the GAIN Coordinating Committee, and ( 2) the
GAIN Advisory Council; and direct that the committees report

III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Welfare and Institutions Code Section 11320. 2 (Chapter 1025,
Statutes of 1985) , designates the County Welfare Department
as the agency responsible for the development of the
County' s plan for implementation of the Greater Avenues for
Independence (GAIN) Act, and for the administration of the
program. GAIN is a services component of the Aid to
Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program.
The statutes require the County Welfare Department to
coordinate with the Community College District, County
Office of Education, and Private Industry Council in
designing a service package for AFDC recipients that
considers available resources and local job market needs.
On April 8, 1986, the Board of Supervisors approved
establishment of two committees and referred the issues of
the composition of the committees, placement of SEIU Local
535, and reporting requirements to the County Administrator
for review and report to the Board.
The first committee should be renamed the "GAIN Coordinating
Committee" to emphasize its coordinating function as
provided by law.

The membership of the GAIN Coordinating Committee should be
limited to those directors of agencies identified in statute
as being required to coordinate and cooperate in the GAIN
planning process. These members are:
Social Services Director, Chairman of the Committee
Chair, City of Richmond, Private Industry Council
Chair, Contra Costa County Private Industry Council
Chancellor, Contra Costa County Community College
District
County Superintendent of Schools
Manager, Employment Development Department, Antioch
Manager, Employment Development Department, Richmond
Each member agency will coordinate with the GAIN program by
having the authority to determine the level of service that
agency will provide to GAIN participants, both within and
above its existing resource base. This includes identifying
each organization' s current services and funding levels, the
number of GAIN participants each will serve, administrative
costs associated with GAIN service delivery, and the level
of GAIN funding required.
The Social Services Director should chair this committee and
be responsible for reporting to the Board of Supervisors and
for making the proceedings of all meetings available to the
Board.
The second committee should be named the "GAIN Advisory
Council" to reflect its advisory role in the planning
process.
The GAIN Advisory Council will serve both as a community
resource and vehicle for community input to enhance the full
development of the GAIN program by reporting to the Social
Services Director. The broad-based impact of the GAIN
program on many segments of the community is demonstrated by
the Council' s membership, which includes advisory groups,
labor organizations, and service providers.
