BACKGROUND: On October 16, 1984 , the Board of Supervisors directed the County . Administrator and the Social Service Director to review the current system of advisory committees on the use of various funds for family and children' s services and provide a recommendation for consolidation. There are currently three committees providing recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on funding for essentially the same service: Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention and Intervention Committee which allocated $197 ,474 for child abuse and neglect prevention and intervention from State AB 1733 funds for fiscal years 1983-84 and 1984-85; Children' s Trust Fund Committee which allocated $90,000 for child abuse prevention and intervention and neglect from County Birth Certificate fees under the provisions of AB 2994 for fiscal year 1984-85; and Family and Children' s Trust Fund Committee which is to allocate $33 , 355 for family and children' s services from voluntary property taxpayers ' contributions ( less $10,000 allocated by the Board for a special child care project) . The Family and Children' s Trust Fund Committee convened a meeting of representatives of all three committees , Social Services, and County Administrator' s staff. The combined committee determined that State regulations permitted utilizing one committee for allocation recommendations of the three funds.

Authorize ad hoc committees to be utilized in an advisory capacity to FACT for needs assessment, proposal evaluation, etc. , on an as-needed basis. The combined committee recommends that the following be considered in relation to committee membership: 1 . Each committee member is a representative of one of the agencies listed above and would be replaced if he or she leaves that agency as an employee or volunteer; 2. Term of committee members be one year; 3 . Committee members must have an alternate representative; 4. Committee members be allowed only three absences during - a one-year term; 5.

In addition, the Social Service Department is the County department which has legal responsibility' adminis or f.ama.ly--and---- programs; therefore, it is recommended that the Social ' Service Department provide staff support to the new committee. The Board expreqIses their appreciation to the committee members who provided their time and expertise in bringing forth this recommendation. This consolidation should meet the Board' s desire. for coordinating funding recommendations for family and children' s programs.
