Continue to discuss process for creating a 2021 community needs assessment report (Mariana Moore, Chair)

Chair Moore introduced the discussion of the process for creating a 2021 community needs assessment report and provided her recommendations on the topic. Lisa Driscoll reminded the MXCAB that the Board of Supervisors gave authority in November for sole source contracting to existing/previous contractors, and accordingly staff are currently reviewing options. Mrs. Driscoll also asked MXCAB members to provide names of writers who have worked with the County successfully. Staff’s next steps are to select an existing county report writer, and return to the MXCAB in April with a draft service plan for discussion. If a report writer cannot be identified, staff will inform the MXCAB at the April meeting and begin the process to issue an RFP.

Continue to discuss MXCAB process for evaluating outcomes and impacts of Measure X funding (Mariana Moore, Chair)

Chair Moore introduced the discussion of the process for evaluating outcomes and impacts of Measure X funding, provided her recommendations, and then asked staff for guidance. Staff reported that they will coordinate with departments to develop measures for evaluating outcomes and impacts of Measure X funding. Staff plan to have related drafts ready for MXCAB review and guidance at the June meeting.

Chair Moore asked for a chart of current funding that identified host agencies. Staff informed the MXCAB that a chart was produced for publication in the FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget and that it would be forwarded to the MXCAB.
