Minutes of the Board of Supervisors' Meeting of January 20, 2004. Approved. Marenco/Mow/5 B-04-102

Consent Items: #1 & 3 – Pulled for discussion.

Prior to pulled consent items being discussed, Chairman Ornellas announced that Agenda Item #1 – Discussion–General Government hopefully would be back to be Board in a few weeks.

Consent Item: #1- Joseph Chelli, Director of Human Services Agency, and Judith Jones, Deputy Director of Program Development and Monitoring, responded to questions from Supervisors Mow and Chairman Ornellas. Supervisor Mow asked if this block grant application was just to receive monies, and if these monies were locked into the seven community centers, including Thornton. He further expressed his concern that the Delta Island Boys and Girls Club would be excluded from participation given the way the application is worded. He stated that that there is a need in south county and that he would like to see future funding for south county.

Consent Item: #1 (continued) – Supervisor Marenco stated that he has no objection to including funding for south county and stated that Larch Clover is in Tracy.

Supervisor Gutierrez stated that the Delta Island Boys and Girls Club would be an excellent candidate for CDBG funding and that he felt that there is a need is south county. He commended the Center Director at Larch Clover, as well as all of the other community center directors, in meeting the needs of the people they service. Supervisor Guttierrez suggested that perhaps prior to the next funding cycle, the Human Services Agency might identify other areas that are in need.

Chairman Ornellas asked for the definition of “funding cycle”.

Consent Item: #3 – Supervisor Gutierrez. stated that this item was before the Board in June of 2003 during budget hearings. He explained that SAFR House was a program for the courts to place clients due to illness of substance abuse and/or mental health rather than incarcerating them. However, funding resources for the program were not received in a timely fashion in order to address the fiscal needs and to keep the program going. Supervisor Gutierrez thanked staff for working well together and for their efforts in making this program a success. He stated that if the situation in San Joaquin County and the State of California improves in the future, he would like to see this program brought back to full level.

Bruce Hopperstead, Director of Mental Health Services, stated that they will continue to work closely with the courts and their existing resources.
