CC: ATTESTED May 6, 1997 PHIL BATCHELOR,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF County Administrator SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Sara Hoffman, Senior Deputy County Administrator M382 (10/88) BY ,DEPUTY F&HS-01 BACKGROUND: On February 4, 1997, the Board of Supervisors approved a report from our Committee which included the following recommendations: 1. DIRECT the County Administrator to schedule a meeting of the Family and Human Services Committee with the Executive Committee of the Policy Forum during calendar year 1997. 2. DIRECT the County Administrator to schedule a meeting of the Family and Human Services Committee with the full Policy Forum during calendar year 1997, approximately six months away from the meeting with the Executive Committee of the Policy Forum. 3. DIRECT the County Administrator to report to the Family and Human Services Committee on the work of the Policy Forum and its Executive Committee on a quarterly basis during calendar year 1997,except for those quarters in which the Committee meets with the Executive Committee of the Policy Forum or the full Policy Forum,so that there are two reports to the Committee by staff,one meeting with the Executive Committee of the Policy Forum and one meeting with the full Policy Forum on approximately a quarterly schedule. 4. REQUEST Sara Hoffman to brief Kathy Chiverton from Supervisor Gerber's Office on the work of the Policy Forum. 5. REQUEST Sara Hoffman to include staff from the Community Development Department in the work of the Policy Forum so they are a part of the process by which issues are discussed and decisions are reached. On April 28, 1997, our Committee met with Sara Hoffman and Caroline Kelley from the County Administrator's Office and reviewed the attached report. It was noted that the Policy Forum has developed a vision statement and a mission, along with seven goals, which are outlined in the attached report. The Policy Forum has also established four Task Forces which are working in the areas outlined in the attached report. The four Task Forces will be reporting to the Policy Forum at its meeting on May 14, 1997. While we have been asked to approve the vision and mission statements and goals, we would like to review the work of the four Task Forces and see what they report to the Policy Forum before agreeing with those statements. We are, therefore, asking that the Policy Forum report again to our Committee in June on the work which is reported to the Policy Forum on May 14, 1997. Our Committee is also concerned that our Committee and the Board of Supervisors be a part of the work of the Policy Forum in a way which allows the Board to buy into the work of the Policy Forum without intruding into the work of the Policy Forum. We are, therefore, asking that staff and the Policy Forum give some thought to ways in which our Committee and the Board can be made a legitimate part of the work of the Policy Forum. -2- CONTRA COSTA COUNTY OFFICE OF THE COUNTYADMINISTRATOR 651 Pine Street, 10th Floor Martinez, California 94553 Telephone: 335-1052 Fax: 646-1353 DATE: April 23, 1997 ° TO: Supervisor Mark DeSaulnier Supervisor Donna Gerber Family & Human Services Committee FROM: Sara Hoffman 5l, Senior Deputy Administrator SUBJECT: Status Report on Policy Forum Since January 1997, the Policy Forum has met three times to accomplish the following: * Drafted and approved vision and mission statements Vision: All Contra Costa County children will reach adulthood having experienced a safe, healthy, nurturing childhood which prepares them to be responsible, contributing members of the community.
