BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development (LPC) was established in April 1998. Required by AB 1542, which was passed in 1993, thirty members of the LPC were appointed by the County Board of Supervisors and the County Superintendent of Schools. Childcare consumers and providers, public agency representatives, and community representatives each comprise 20% of the LPC. The remaining 20% are discretionary appointees. Membership is for a three-year term. On January 7, 2003, membership was decreased from 30 to 25 members, due to the difficulty being experienced in filling all of the seats. Membership consists of the following:

• Five consumer representatives - a parent or person who receives or has received child care services in the past 36 months;
• Five child care providers - a person who provides child care services or represents persons who provide child care services;
• Five public agency representatives - a person who represents a city, county, city and county, or local education agency;
• Five community representatives - a person who represents an agency or business that provides private funding for child care services or who advocates for child care services through participation in civic or community based organizations;
• Five discretionary appointees - a person appointed from any of the above four categories or outside of those categories at the discretion of the appointing agencies.

Appointments to the Contra Costa County Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development (LPC) are subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors and County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Joseph Ovick. The Board of Supervisors designated the Family and Human Services Committee to review and recommend appointments on their behalf. Dr. Susan Magnone, Associate Superintendent, has been designated to review and recommend appointments on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools.
