Continue to discuss process for finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors.
|
| |
The Committee continued to discuss the process for finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors (BOS). Board of Supervisors members Karen Mitchoff, District IV and John Gioia, District I joined the meeting to provide clarification amongst all advisory board members on the MXCAB charges, historical context, and guidance from the BOS themselves who established the advisory body. Supervisors Mitchoff thanked the MXCAB for their work and stated that it was not the intent that MXCAB would give the BOS dollar recommendations. Rather that MXCAB would hear these various presentations, bring their own experiences to the table for discussion and then provide to the BOS, what MXCAB felt as representatives of the community were funding priorities. Supervisor Gioia spoke next and reminded MXCAB that the Board of Supervisors discussed in length exactly this issue -- whether to charge the advisory committee with making specific dollar allocations, or really making recommendations on program funding areas. The program areas can go from broad to narrow in scope and the recommendations can be broad and or narrow but should not include specific dollar allocations. Supervisor Gioia acknowledged that during the process to prioritize, the MXCAB may want to consider the magnitude or the scale of investment in a particular program area. Nothing prevents MXCAB from talking about magnitude in some way. Supervisor Gioia concluded by stating that the bylaws, and the Board order, were drafted to reflect this understanding - recommendations should be limited to clear program areas, MXCAB can discuss the magnitude of investment priorities, but not specific dollars or allocation.
After the context provided by Supervisors Mitchoff and Gioia the MXCAB held a discussion and allowed public comments. Jim Cervantes offered the following motion, which was seconded by Dave Cruise:
Upon completion of its review of community needs, which shall include consideration of equity and inclusion issues, MXCAB shall prepare an inventory of all identified community needs and programs of impact in Contra Costa County, including projected funding costs for each on a one-time and/or ongoing basis (the “Identified Needs Inventory”). From the Identified Needs Inventory, MXCAB shall prepare a priority list of the County’s significant service gaps (the “Priority List”). MXCAB shall submit the Identified Needs Inventory and the Priority List to the Board of Supervisors by the end of August, 2021.
Following approximately an hour of discussion the item was continued to the meeting of May 26, 2021. |
