The review of applications for appointments to the LPC was originally referred to the Family and Human Services Committee by the Board of Supervisors on April 22, 1997. The LPC coordinates programs and services affecting early child care and education, including recommendations for the allocation of federal funds to local early child care and education programs. The LPC consists of 20 members: 4 consumer representatives - a parent or person who receives or has received child care services in the past 36 months; 4 child care providers - a person who provides child care services or represents persons who provide child care services; 4 public agency representatives - a person who represents a city, county, city and county, or local education agency; 4 community representatives - a person who represents an agency or business that provides private funding for child care services or who advocates for child care services through participation in civic or community based organizations; and 4 discretionary appointees - a person appointed from any of the above four categories or outside of those categories at the discretion of the appointing agencies. Terms of appointment are 3 years.   
  
The LPC reviewed the applications received and recommends the reappointments of Stacie Cooper-Roundtree, Amy Wells, Candy Duperrior, Cathy Roof, and Liliana Gonzalez.  
  
The reappointment recommendations were presented to the Family and Human Services Committee on March 22, 2021 and approved at this meeting.  
  

Two (2) Discretionary seats, two (2) Public Agency seats, and one (1) Child Care Provider seat will remain vacant and impact the LPC's representation and engagement.
