RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the report from the Employment and Human Services Department on aging and adult services, including the progress made to address the issue of elder abuse in Contra Costa County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On May 23, 2000 the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services Committee an annual report on the progress made on the issue of elder abuse in Contra Costa County. Since that time the Committee has received an annual report from the Employment and Human Services Department.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 14, 2015, the Family and Human Services Committee received a report from the Employment and Human Services Department on this referral. At the time of the report, the new Aging and Adult Services Director was a recent hire, having only been with the department a couple of months. Since the new director had identified various strategies to address some pending issues, such as staffing and crisis response times, and program changes were in transition, the Family and Human Services Committee approved a report being presented to the Board of Supervisors at a later time when the department would be prepared to discuss a timeline addressing the program and operational challenges discussed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not receive the report from the Employment and Human Services Department on the issue of Elder Abuse and Aging and Adult Services in Contra Costa County.
