RECOMMENDATION(S):

Appoint Kathy Gallagher to the First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, Employment and Human Services Director seat, as recommended by the County Administrator.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

First 5 Contra Costa invests Proposition 10 tobacco tax revenues in local health and education programs for expectant parents and children birth to age five. First 5 funded programs help local children grow up healthy, nurtured, and ready for school.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

First 5 Contra Costa receives funding from Proposition 10, a statewide ballot initiative passed in 1998 which added a 50 cent-per-pack tax on tobacco products. Proposition 10 was approved by voters to dedicate a revenue stream for young children and provide them with healthcare, school readiness, child development, and family support programs. Funds received by the tobacco tax are distributed by the First 5 California commission for statewide programs and by county First 5 commissions to support local priorities for young children.

Ms. Gallagher is the Employment and Human Services Director as of January 7, 2013. As the Employment and Human Services Director, Ms. Gallaher fills the seat in an ex-officio capacity.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

None. The Alternate would fill the seat temporarily.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
