Our Committee has made interim reports to the Board of Supervisors on these referrals on March
21, 1989 and May 16, 1989.
On June 26, 1989 our Committee met with the Health Services Director and our Alcohol and Drug
Program Chiefs. Mr. Finucane provided us an oral report which contained the following elements:
1. The Conference we have been referring to as Drug/Alcohol Summit II,to be held during Red
Ribbon Week in October, 1989,will require more staff effort than is currently available to plan
an appropriate program covering both drugs and alcohol.
2. As a result, the Conference this fall should be limited to drug programs and should be held
during the week of October 22, 1989, probably on Saturday, October 28, 1989.
3. This Conference will provide a County perspective on the drug problem in this County during
the morning session, and will showcase what cities in the County are doing in the drug
education, prevention, treatment and law enforcement areas in the afternoon.
4. We are suggesting that the October, 1989 Conference be held in East County,possibly at Los
Medanos College.
5. A two-day Conference combining drug and alcohol issues should be held during the early part
of May, 1990 with the thought that the Action Plan may be on the ballot in June, 1990 for
confirmation by the voters. This Conference might be held in conjunction with ABAG. Part
of the focus of this Conference will be to address multi-county (regional) issues in the drug
and alcohol area.
6. The May, 1990 Conference should be held in West County, probably at the Richmond
Auditorium.
7. The May, 1990 Conference will require some additional staff support which the Health
Services Director is to work out with the County Administrator.
8. We would like to invite Dr. C. Everett Koop, Surgeon General of the United States, to be the
keynote speaker for the May, 1990 Conference.
We anticipate having a complete written report from Mr. Finucane by July 7, 1989 which will detail
the proposed program for both Conferences. We will review these proposed schedules with Mr.
Finucane on July 24, 1989, following which we will have a more detailed report for the Board's
consideration.
