Acknowledge Receipt of the attached report from the staff to the Family and Children' s Trust Committee (FACT) on the level of contributions which are projected to be received from the funds administered by FACT and the level of funding which is likely to be available for the 1991-92 fiscal year. 2. Remove this item as a referral to our Committee. BACKGROUND: On December 18, 1990, the Board of Supervisors approved a report from the 1990 Internal Operations Committee which requested that the 1991 Internal Operations Committee check on the progress of generating revenue for the programs which are recommended for funding by FACT. On January 22, 1991, the Board of Supervisors approved recommendations from the Social Services Director for adjustments in the payment limits for the contracts funded on the basis of recommendations from FACT, in order to insure that the contracts would remain within the available funding levels. Finally, on February 5, 1991, the Board also approved a. report from our Committee establishing the priorities for funding for the 1991-92 fiscal year . from the three funds which are administered by FACT: CONTINUED ON ATTACHMEWIIeS YES SIGNATURE: _RECOMMENDATION21 .

CC: ATTESTED County Administrator PHIL BATC090R,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF Social Services Director SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR County Counsel Bill Weidinger, Staff to FACT BY gde',� ,DEPUTY M382 (10/88) 1) The Ann Adler Family and Children' s Trust Fund, 2) The AB 2994 funds received by a surcharge on copies of birth certificates, and 3) The AB 1733 Child Abuse Prevention Funds from the State Legislature, which are subject to reappropriation in the annual battle over the State Budget. On May 13, 1991, our Committee met with Maridel Moulton, Co-Chair of FACT, Mary Lou Lucas and staff to FACT, Bill Weidinger. We reviewed with those present the attached memorandum report from FACT. We were pleased to see that contributions to the Ann Adler Family and Children' s Trust are higher in 1990-91 than they were . in the 1989-90 fiscal year. Unfortunately, revenue from the birth certificate surcharge is substantially below what it was in the 1989-90 fiscal year. While it appears that FACT will have sufficient revenue to maintain all contracts for the current fiscal year at the reduced levels approved by the Board on January 22, 1991, it is unlikely that there will be available in 1991-92 even as much as was available in the 1990-91 fiscal year. FACT plans to make their recommendations for funding contracts in the 1991-92 fiscal year on June 4, 1991. It appears that there .will be considerable controversy regarding those recommendations because of the reduced funding which is available and because a number of agencies were not recommended for funding, while the agency which provides the Family Preservation Program is apparently recommended for a substantial portion of the available funding. This was made clear from comments made by Eric Hasseltine, on behalf of the Family Stress Center. Our Committee has asked that each member of the Board of Supervisors be supplied with information regarding the proposed recommendations which will be made to the Board on June 4, 1991, well in advance of that date so each Board member can have available for review all of the necessary background information on how the recommendations from FACT were formulated. Beyond that, there do not appear to be any actions which are required on the basis of the information we received May 13, 1991, which are not already in process for action by the Board. SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT Contra Costa County TO: IO Committee DATE: May 13, 1991 FROM: James A. Rydingsword, Director cc: Social Service Department by Bill Weidinger, FACT Staff Nilpw SUB%T: Contributions to the Family & Children's Trust Committee (FACT) The memo to the Board of Supervisors, dated December 19, 1990 (Attachment A) re the request for extension and payment amendments for agencies listed and passed by the action of the Board on January 22, 1991 approving the recommendations as written, indicated adjustments that were made to the contractors listed and the amounts of said adjustments. The contractors were able to continue their services at adjusted service levels. The FACT Committee would like to applaud the contractors for dealing with these shortfalls in funds. At this point in time it appears that the contributions to the AB 2994 (birth certificates) and The Ann Adler Family . & Children's Trust Fund will total approximately $106,000 (Attachment B) . This amount coupled with the $220,000 that is expected from AB 1733 will meet the one-.year funding amounts for the contracts that FACT is recommending to the Board of Supervisors on June 4, 1991. However, it should be noted that due to the State budget situation, it is not yet known if funding from AB 1733 will be passed onto the counties. If AB 1733 funding in the amount of $200,000 or more reaches our county then, at this point in time, it appears that FACT will be able to meet the contracts which we are recommending to the Board that FACT enter into. If less than $200, 000 from AB 1733 is received by the county, then -FACT anticipates reducing the contract amount in proportion to the reduced funding from AB 1733 . AB 651, introduced by Assemblyman Bentley; has proposed that the birth certificate fee be raised to $9, $6 of which would be required to be paid to either a county children's trust fund or the State children's trust fund. Currently, the fee is $7 for a copy of the birth certificate, $4 of which is paid to our county's children's trust fund. Passage of this bill would increase the AB 2994 funds by approximately $40,000 based on past contributions from this fund. FACT is continuing to explore options to increase donations to .The Ann Adler Family & Children's Trust Fund. One such option is to contact tax payers who do not receive their tax bill directly because their tax is included in their house payment. The FACT Committee has also developed a program monitoring format which will enable FACT to monitor and assist new contractors in the upcoming year. The State Department of` Social Services has been favorably impressed with the program monitoring forms and is considering using them . in lieu of the current forms the State requires.

The two funding sources, AB 2994 'and Ann Adler funds , do not require a County Match. BACKGROUND: The Agencies provide counseling to families with problems that if left unattended, will result in children being removed from their homes and placed in foster homes or institutions. The contract for January through December 1990 could not be funded at the contracted level because of revenue short-.falls , birth certificate money, ' and tax donations . Therefore, the FACT Committee in conjunction with these contractors received ,./objntary cut-backs which were taken into consideration in the now payment limits . Because of some voluntary cut-backs , some aycncier received a decrease instead of an increase . 16• W r i a � W 0 t0 t- t0 0 M 0 O O O a rn r O qct lqr 0 0) o q Co ^i ro: v 0 r-I 0 O ot0 � 4 M t0 O O1 co O CO d' t- 0 rl t, M O O V' N O1 ri ri 014J O 0% r-t r-4 M d to O1 H H N O � O 4.3 %0 p '1 O O O O .0 O O O O 4-S P4 x O N N O 00 O O O O O ai Ea v M M O d' O 00 a d• 01 v to LO M 10 r-i r, [� H O to M r-1 to Ol to r-I 00 O a tJ (� O r T-1 to to r- 00 ON 00 Cl) 4 a W M Cl) o r r-I' O o M o In Fa Co d' Co N to t, N H O H r- I� A a' rl t0 t0 r-I N d' O M to t0 N O M Os t- to d' t- O %0 00 r-I d' H co co d O M t0 to to t0 In r- d' O ri to t0 d' H M p� N O� O O O O o O O O O O O O W WO d' %D O d' 10 d' O 00 t0 d' 00 E-1 CO t0 C 1 O O CD 10 M O r- N N a M W O t` to 00 CO t, CD t- CA LO co H M r-I t` co co r- O. r-I d' O d' M W co O to O d' tn.
