SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
That the County Administrator coordinate with social services
and probation administration to investigate alleged mistreat-
ment of children at Health Care Delivery Services' Lions Gate
and Pride House.
BACKGROUND
For a number of years these facilities have raised strong
sentiments of support or opposition among youth service
personnel. It' s time that we clear the air and determine
whether or not these allegations are valid and how Health Care
Delivery Services compares to similar youth care providers.
If an investigation reveals that Health Care Services is not
running their programs appropriately, then let' s move swiftly
to terminate their contracts. If, however, the programs are
in with guidelines then an apology is in order.
It saddens me that this issue has been unresolved so long.
Health Care Services and the Probation Department agreed to
work together to resolve their differences. I understand that
no meeting has taken place.
I also recall about eight years ago being pleased that Health
Care Services took antiquated, unusable County owned buildings
and remodeled them into attractive quality structures.
. Because the health and welfare of youth are a top priority, we
should move swiftly to come to a quick resolution of this
issue.
