There is no fiscal impact.
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, and on September 11, 2012 it was further reduced from 25 to 20 members.
Appointments to the Contra Costa County Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education (LPC) are subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors and County Superintendent of Schools. The Board of Supervisors designated the Family and Human Services Committee to review and recommend appointments on their behalf. Dr. Pamela Comfort , Associate Superintendent, Educational Services has been designated to review and recommend appointments on behalf of the County Superintendent of Schools. The recommendation is that seven current members of the advisory body be reappointed.
The LPC may not meet quorum requirements and be able to conduct the Council's business.
