RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Pamela Perls, Lafayette resident, to the District II Seat 1 of the Mental Health Commission for a three year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2025, as recommended by Supervisor Candace Andersen.

FISCAL IMPACT:

NONE

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Contra Costa Mental Health Commission was established to review and evaluate the community's mental health needs, services, facilities, and special problems; to review any County agreements entered into pursuant to Section 5650 of the Welfare and Institutions Code; to advise the governing body and local mental health director as to any aspect of the local mental health program; to submit an annual report to the Board of Supervisors; review and make recommendations regarding the appointment of a local director of mental health services; review the County's performance outcome data and communicate its findings to the State Mental Health Commission; and assess the impact of the realignment of services from the State to the County on services delivered to clients and the local community.

Supervisor Andersen advertised the vacancy, received several applications, met with all applicants, and feels that Ms. Perls' will be a positive addition to the MHC.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will remain vacant.
