5. CONSIDER recommending to the Board of Supervisors a position of "Support" on AB 2083 (Cooley):  Foster Youth: Trauma-Informed System of Care, as recommended by the Director of Employment and Human Services, and direct staff to place the item on the Board's consent calendar for April 24, 2018.   
 
  The Committee declined to take action on the bill, requesting additional information from staff and citing concerns about any kind of state mandate, as our County has already implemented trauma-informed care through the Alliance to End Abuse.
