The latest budget estimates, as of early June, indicate that the
County will be facing a budget deficit and that reductions must
be made from the Proposed Budget. Moreover, preliminary
information on the State Budget reveals that the County may be
facing a substantial shortfall in State revenues. Therefore, it
is recommended that each Department prepare a 5% and 10% budget
reduction plan, based on net County cost.
Administrator office staff will be working with Department staff
to develop budget reduction plans over the next three weeks.
Minimizing layoffs and minimizing service disruptions will be the
objectives of the reduction plans. Budget reduction plans will
not be a simple task and many difficult decisions lie ahead.

Open Letter to Governor Wilson. & the Legislature : *'•
The Child Welfare Services Program cannot protect the abused and neglected
children whose lives depend on it. Gov. Deukmejian's $55 million cut this year severely
undermined a system that was already in critical condition. Gov.Wilson's proposed
budget fails to restore these funds.
As our political leaders, you have the legal and ethical obligation to protect the
150,000 children served by the Child Welfare system each year. Every day we, the Child
Welfare social service workers and supervisors throughout the state, look into the eyes of
children who are suffering further abuse and neglect from the system designed to protect
them. We urge you to take 4 steps to help us save California's future:
1 - Fully fund the Child Welfare Services Program in 1991-92.
Restore the $55 million cut from this year's budget.
2 - Rescind the "emergence" Child Welfare regulations which exclude
thousands of needy and abused children from services.
3 - Expand Family Preservation Programs, adopt AB 546 and AB 948.
Enable us to focus on keeping children in their homes rather than foster care.
4 . Order SDSS to conduct a work study in Child Welfare and Adoptions.
Determine the real staffing level needed to serve abused &neglected children.
