FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: April 1, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Assembly Bill 1364 (Vasconcellos)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
. RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 1364 by Assemblyman John
Vasconcellos which would appropriate $250,000 for support of the
Lynn Day Treatment Center, We Care Center, and Therapeutic
Nursery School.
BACKGROUND:
One element of the Board' s 1987 Legislative Program was to secure
funds for the Lynn Day Treatment Center, We Care Center, and
Therapeutic Nursery School, which are currently supported by some
$457,000 in County funds. We have made the appropriation of
these funds among the highest priorities for our lobbyist during
1987 . The principal effort will be to incorporate funds for
these centers in the 1987-88 State Budget. However, Assemblyman
Vasconcellos has agreed to introduce AB 1364 in case it is not
possible to include these funds in the budget. The funding for
AB 1364 has been held down to $250, 000 simply for purposes of the
introduction of the bill and because generally the Legislature
will not approve special legislation, such as this, if the amount
exceeds $250,000 .
Since passage of funding for these Centers is a high priority
with the Board of Supervisors and the Health Services Director,
we believe it is appropriate for the Board to support AB 1364
while still expressing the preference that the. full funding be
included in the State Budget.
