RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Allyson Mayo to the Seat 5 - Mental Health seat on the Family and Children's Trust Committee to complete the current term ending September 30, 2019 and to a new term that will expire on September 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

On December 13, 2011, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The purpose of the Family and Children's Trust (FACT) Committee is to establish priorities and make funding recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on the allocation of specific funds for prevention and intervention services to reduce child abuse and neglect, and to provide supportive services to families and children. Funding for FACT supported projects derive from federal and state program legislation, and donations to the County’s Family and Children’s Trust Fund.

The FACT Committee also provides information and data to the Employment and Human Services Department on the effectiveness of current and proposed programs for families and children and on recent or pending legislation that would potentially impact family and children’s services programs, clients, or funding mechanisms.

FACT Committee is composed by:

Five At-Large seats
One representative from each of the five Supervisorial Districts
Five discipline/sector specific seats

There are currently 12 seats filled and there are three vacancies on FACT. The Committee has vacancies in the Sector Seat 3, Sector Seat 5 and the District III Seat.
Current FACT Committee seat members live or work in the following areas of the county:

Central/South (11): Three discipline specific, Five At-Large, Districts II, IV and V
West (1): District I

Candidates for appointment to the FACT Committee will serve a two-year term. The current term for the Sector Seat 5 is set to expire on September 30, 2019.

Attached is a memo from the Employment and Human Services Director transmitting her nomination of Allyson Mayo for appointment to the Sector Seat 5 on the FACT Committee. The Family and Human Services Committee approved this nomination on May 13, 2019.
