RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Mujdah Rahim to the At Large 2 seat on the Family and Children's Trust Committee to complete the current term ending on September 30, 2018 and to a new term that will expire on September 30, 2020.

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 the prevention/amelioration of child abuse and neglect, and the promotion of positive family functioning. These funds include: Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment funds funds (AB 1733), Birth Certificate revenue to the County Children’s Trust (AB 2994), the Ann Adler Children’s Trust funds,

Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention funds, and other funds as may be subsequently directed by the Board of Supervisors.

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 13 seats filled and there are two vacancies on FACT. The Committee has vacancies in the Seat 3, Local Planning Council, and one At-Large Seat. Seat 3, Local Planning Council was declared vacant due to committee member resignation on October 18, 2016. The FACT Committee is actively recruiting to fill Seat 3.

Current FACT Committee seat members live or work in the following areas of the county:

East (2): One At-Large, District III
Central/South (10): Four discipline specific, Three 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 At Large 2 seat is set to expire on September 30, 2018.

Attached is a memo from the Employment and Human Services Director transmitting her nomination of Ms. Mujdah Rahim for appointment to the At Large 2 seat on the FACT Committee. The Family and Human Services (FHS) Committee approved this nomination on June 25, 2018. (Supervisor Gioia was absent from the June 25, 2018 FHS Committee meeting.)
