Consent Items:
#5 & #6 – Pulled
by Supervisor Gutierrez. Supervisor Gutierrez requested this matter be
continued to October 19, 2004. He
indicated that one of the reasons for his request was that Supervisor Mow will
be on vacation in September, and he will be out of the office the latter part
of September into the early part of October.
Supervisor Gutierrez stated that these two items are significant to District
1. Therefore, he would like to have
time to convene a committee of his own that would be open to anyone, who is
interested in health care, to review the proposed recommendations. The
committee would draft a list of questions and comments that would be referred
to Interim Health Care Services Director Ken Cohen, Dr. Flores and any other
specialists at the hospital for response.
The Board would have an opportunity to review the concerns and responses
prior to the Board Meeting of October 19, 2004.
Supervisor
Mow confirmed that he would be away a good part of September. He said that this item is of significance
and importance to our county with the clear understanding that something needs
to be done. Supervisor Mow further
commented that the county is “bleeding” at the rate of over $1.2 million a
month in how we deal with providing health care within our county. He hoped that continuing these items would
not cause any problems.
Interim
Health Care Services Director Ken Cohen stated that the delay of these items
would not be a problem. His only
concern was that if there was anyone in the audience that could not be in
attendance on October 19 that they be given the opportunity to address the
Board on this date.
In response to Supervisor Marenco, Mr. Cohen said that he would
coordinate with Board Members to meet with any interested community groups from
any of the supervisorial districts.
Supervisor
Sieglock stated his concern that we make sure we are not continuing to lose
millions of dollars. Therefore, if we
are going to change the policy document, it should not be done unilaterally by
one member. Instead, the matter should
be brought back to the full board if there are going to be changes made. Mr. Cohen explained that the Board Members
currently had the best recommendations.
If there are
Consent Items – (continued)
Consent: #5
& 6 (continued) reasonable comments that warrant changes, the Board Members
would be provided the best information and be fully informed.
Ann
Cerney addressed the Board on Consent Items #5 & #6.
Supervisor
Gutierrez wanted to clarify that his proposed committee of reviewers is open to
the public. His office would be happy
to facilitate by mailing the documents to individuals who would like to review
them and put together a list of questions and comments in regards to the
proposed amendments to county policy in terms of health care services.
In
response to Supervisor Mow, Mr. Cohen stated that they are trying to balance
the county’s obligation and the county’s requirement under Section 17000 of the
Welfare & Institutions Code. He
stated that it was appropriate to talk with community groups that may be
impacted. Although many of the concerns
may be alleviated by discussions, there will be other issues that may not be
solvable. Mr. Cohen again stated that
he would appreciate the opportunity to meet with any individuals and or groups
that Board Members referred to him.
Supervisor
Marenco stated that he was in favor postponing this matter in order to receive
input from individuals and groups.
Supervisor
Gutierrez asked if the entire document could be placed on the county website
for easy access to the public.
ToCan
Nguyen addressed the Board.

item #10 listed in the staff letter regarding the contract with Community
Partnership for Families building a comprehensive service system for $664, 415.00. He requested more information on this item. Supervisor Marenco also requested the backup material on contract items #5, 7, &
10. Lani Schiff-Ross, of Childrens
& Families Commission (First 5 San Joaquin), addressed the Board on this
matter and stated that the contracts on
this item were on file with the Clerk of the Board Office. County Administrator
Manuel Lopez also pointed out that it was noted in the staff letter that the
contracts were on file with the Clerk of the Board Office for review. He said that he has instructed department
heads to state in their Board letters that contracts are on file with the Clerk
of the Board should Board Members want to review them.
