RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT report from the Employment and Human Services Department on the oversight and activities of the Community Services Bureau.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Oversight of the Community Services Bureau and Head Start programs was originally referred to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) on March 1, 2005. Since that time the program has provided the Committee with annual updates on the programs and services provided. The last report was received by the FHS Committee on October 30, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 22, 2018, FHS received the attached report from the Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau regarding its program accomplishments, special initiatives and anticipated challenges.

Community Services Bureau Director Camilla Rand also reported on the closing of one Richmond child service facility and seeking relocation for the Central Kitchen. The Kitchen currently produces about 40,000 meals each month.

A positive legislative change discussed was the consolidation of childcare licenses to requiring one for ages 0 to 5.

The department is contending with a staffing shortage by initiating a Teacher Apprenticeship program.

Ms. Rand advised that three reviews are expected this year, and that members of the Board of Supervisors will likely be interviewed as part of the review process.
