BACKGROUND:
The Family and Children's Trust Committee conducts a biennial needs assessment on family and children's services in Contra Costa County. They also recommend the establishment of program priorities to the Employment and Human Services Director and the Board of Supervisors and coordinate, with the Employment and Human Services Director, monitoring of contracts that are funded by AB 1733, AB 2994 or the Ann Adler Family & Children's Trust Fund. They also recommend awards of family and children's services contracts pursuant to AB 1733, AB 2994, Ann Adler Family & Children's Trust Fund, Community-Based Family Resource Funds, and Childcare Affordability funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board elect to not approve the recommendation, District IV would not be represented on the Family and Childrens' Trust Committee until an appointment was made.
