RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Jessica Hudson to the Public Agency Seat #2 Central/South County for the remainder of the term expiring on April 30, 2015 and for the subsequent term expiring on April 30, 2018 on the Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education, as recommended by the County Office of Education and the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact will occur due to these appointments. Appointees are volunteers.

BACKGROUND:

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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Membership is for a three-year term. On January 7, 2003, membership was decreased from 30 to 25 members, due to the difficulty being experienced in filling all of the seats.

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, Dr. Joseph Ovick. 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these appointments are not approved, the Council may not have sufficient members to meet quorum requirements, would not be able to meet, and would not be able to perform its duties.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
