MAKING IT HAPPENED WERE
ABSOLUTELY THE CENTRAL
REPOSITORY FOR ALL OF THAT WERE
ULTIMATELY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE
PROGRAM AND AS MISTER BUCKLEY
AND OTHERS HAVE STATED THIS.
HAS BEEN A PHENOMENAL
PARTNERSHIP WE CLEARLY CAN'T DO
THIS ALONE.
COUNTIES OTHER STATE AGENCIES

ASSOCIATION OF FOOD BANKS IS
DOING OUR INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
WITH SOME OF THE LOCAL PARTNERS
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
EVERYBODY'S GOT EVERYBODY ELSE'S
CONTACT INFORMATION IT'S A TEAM
EFFORT CERTAINLY THE BUCK STOPS
HERE OKAY PERFECT NOW AND THE
AND I IT JUST YOU KNOW.
I DON'T THINK I DON'T WANT TO

BIG TASK THAT I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE FOLLOWING
THROUGH WITH WHAT WE WERE WHAT
THE INTENT TO AS AND THAT
SOMEBODY IS CHECKING ON THAT SO
THAT.
NOTHING FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS
WE ARE HUGELY COMMITTED AND
WE'RE ALSO UNDER NO ILLUSIONS
THAT IT WILL GO PERFECTLY.
AND ALSO PREPARED TO ADJUST AT
AND DO WHAT WE NEED TO TO MAKE

MARATHON ON ALL TEAM ON THIS ONE
THANK YOU.
I WILL SAY THAT TO ALONG THOSE
LINES AND PAGE.
THIRTY SEVEN IS THE LANGUAGE WE
WILL BE APPROVING SPECIFICALLY
ON THIS I APPRECIATE THE DDS.
SAYS.
DSS RATHER -- SAYS THAT THE BUCK
STOPS HERE AND THERE UNDER GREAT
LEADERSHIP -- BUT IT IT WITH THE
LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE INCLUDING.
WHATEVER IS FOUND WILL BE
REPORTED TO THE LEGISLATURE SO
THAT TOGETHER WE CAN THEN TACKLE
IN THE ISSUES THAT DO COME UP.
I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS MISS
RUBIO -- THOSE ARE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT.
DOCTOR WOULD.
YEAH I JUST A QUESTION UNDER --
ITEM OF SECTION EIGHT THE
FEDERAL TITLE THREE FUNDING
AUGMENTATION SO IS THIS A NORMAL
THING WHERE YOU GET OCCASIONALLY
GET ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING
AND WHAT'S.
IS THIS THE CORRECT ONE YEAH I'M
I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW THIS COMES
IN AND RIGHT SO THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THIS IS INCLUDING THE
LAST -- BUDGET IN FEDERAL BUDGET
ACT -- THEY WILL YOU KNOW
SOMETIMES THE WORDS OR
NEGOTIATIONS -- FOR YOU KNOW
AUGMENTATIONS TO THE TITLE FREE
PROGRAM SO IN ON THE LAST
MEMORANDUM NEGOTIATIONS AN
ADDITIONAL SEVENTEEN MILLION WAS
ADDED.
WELL I SHOULD SAY THAT WAS
CALIFORNIA'S PORTION TO THE TO
THE FEDERAL BUDGET.
AND THEN -- IN ITS -- THAT IT
SPECIFICALLY ALLOCATED TO THOSE
DIFFERENT POSITIONS OR IS THAT
SOMETHING WAS DECIDED INTERNALLY --
OKAY SO FOR THE STATE OPERATIONS
COMPONENT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
THE DEPARTMENT LOOKS OUT
CALIFORNIA PART OF AGING WE LOOK
AT WHAT NECESSARY SUPPORTS OUR
RESOURCES WE NEED -- TO REMAIN
IN COMPLIANCE AND PROVIDE PROPER
MOUNT MONITORING AND OVERSIGHT
OF OUR TRIPLE A MONTH --
PARTNERS TO RECEIVE THE GRANT
FUNDS SO THAT IS A DEPARTMENT OF
TERMINATION IN TERMS OF WHERE WE
NEED TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES.
I GUESS I GUESS YEAH HI -- I
KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT ASK AROUND THE LONG
TERM LONG TERM CARE OB -- BUT
YEAH.
SO I KNOW SAID THAT.
I THINK IT'S A HUNDRED AND SIXTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS -- YEAH.
HUNDRED SIXTEEN THOUSAND AND
SIXTEEN THAT'S A FAR CRY FROM
THE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS THAT'S
ON THE OTHER END OF THE ASK SO --
CLEARLY WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF
WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND AND A LOT
OF ARMED AND JUST SAID I'M SORRY
JUST TO CLARIFY AS SPEAKING TO
THE STATE OPERATIONS COMPONENT
WHICH IS A SMALLER COMPONENT.
IN THE LOCAL ASSISTANCE
COMPONENT WHICH IS THE LARGER --
PORTION OF ASK THAT IS
DETERMINED THROUGH WHAT WE CALL
OUR INTERSTATE FUNDING FORMULA
SO KIND OF ALLOCATES.
DIFFERENT PERCENT OF THE FUNDING
YOU HAD TO THE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS.
OKAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
COMMENTS.

TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING
TIMELY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS
AS WELL AS LOOKING AT WHAT IS
OUR MULTI LEVEL MULTI YEAR
APPROACH TO THOSE GAPS IN

LEVEL PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
COUNTIES AND OTHER AGENCIES.
THEY WILL WORK TOWARDS --
PROVIDING INFORMATION AND
REFERRALS AND TO INSURE THAT

REPORTING ON SOME OF THE GAPS
AND AND SERVICES SO THAT WE AT

THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS

NET NOT.
STEPHEN PUBLIC DEPARTMENT
FINANCING OF AN ASSET.
CHECK YOUR BRASSIERE ELIA WE
REVIEWED THE PROPOSAL AND HAVE
NO CONCERNS.
HER GET.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON ISSUE NUMBER.
TWO DANIEL SABINO ASSOCIATION OF
REGIONAL CENTER AGENCIES WE VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE THE DEPARTMENTS
RECOGNITION OF THE ADDITIONAL
WORKLOAD THAT THIS WILL REQUIRE.
AND THE FUNDING THAT COMES ALONG
WITH THAT AND LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING TO BETTER ADDRESS THE
NEEDS OF THIS POPULATION
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
SING NO MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS
LET'S BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE QUESTIONS YES MOST
FRAZIER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
FOR THIS PROPOSAL AS FAR AS
UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR FOSTER
CHILDREN HAVE A DESPERATE NEED
WINTERS TRAUMA -- I'M MY CONCERN
IS THAT AGAIN -- WE HAVE SUCH AN
BASED ON THE RATE STUDY IN.
HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN MARCH.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE A SHORTFALL OF
ONE POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS
OF FUNDING FOR THE ID
DEPOPULATION [inaudible]
WE OF UTILIZED THE REGIONAL
CENTERS AS OUR STAFF HAS STOP
GAP. FOR EVERYTHING THAT.
AND THE INSURERS WON'T DO. FOR
THE ID POPULATION WE HAVE
CASELOADS FULLER SERVICE
COORDINATORS -- SUMMER. NINETY
THREE TO ONE EVEN OVER A HUNDRED
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE -- BUT
WE'VE ALREADY TAXED.
THESE REGIONAL CENTERS WITH A
LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES.
AND THAT WERE NOT SHORT CHANGING
THIS POPULATION.
OF BECAUSE IT'S JUST THE ONLY
PLACE WE CAN GO -- I HAVE
WAITING LISTS.
OVER OVER A YEAR.
FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
AND THEY'RE NOT GETTING SERVICES
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
PROVIDERS.
WHAT ASSURANCES DO YOU GIVE ME
THAT YOU HAVE THE?
ABILITY TO MAKE SURE THE
REGIONAL CENTERS HAVE THE
PROVIDERS.
THAT WE CAN'T GIVE TO THE PEOPLE
THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN IN THE
SYSTEM.
AND WE'RE GONNA NOW ADD MORE.
RESPONSIBILITY AND NEED. FOR
THESE FOSTER SHOWN WHO'S
SUFFERED FROM BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT THEM GOING IN THERE.
AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT A WAITING
LIST IN THIS SITUATION.
SO HOW DO YOU ASSURE ME THAT.
THIS IS A RESPONSIBILITY THAT
REGIONAL CENTERS CURRENTLY HAVE
CHIU INSURER -- TIMELY ACCESS TO
SERVICES AND TO COORDINATE WITH
A SISTER DEPARTMENTS AND
AGENCIES AND SO I BELIEVE THAT
THROUGH THIS EFFORT.
AND THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING
WITH THE ACROSS THE DEPARTMENTS
AS WELL AS THE FUNDING FOR THE
POSITIONS FOR THE REGIONAL
CENTERS THAT ARE LOW IT ALLOWS
US.
THAT.
BROADER VIEW IF YOU WILL AND THE
FOCUSED-- RESOURCES TO REALLY
WORK MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER TO
UNDERSTAND WHERE ARE THOSE GAPS
SOMETIMES THE GAPS ARE JUST AN
INFORMATION YOU KNOW SO COMING
TOGETHER AND SHARING WHAT'S
AVAILABLE IN IN VARIOUS PARTS OF
THE STATE.
WHAT'S ON SERVICES MIGHT MEET A
PARTICULAR NEED ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES WITH REGARDS TO MAYBE
CRISIS SERVICES FOR EXAMPLE AND
SO I DO BELIEVE THAT THROUGH
THIS EFFORT -- IT WILL IMPROVE
THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE TO
TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ARE YOU
TO PLAN WHO HAVE SUSTAIN TRAUMA.
SO WE ALREADY HAVE OTHER ISSUES
SOLANO COUNTY IS ONE OF MY OF
COUNTIES IN MY DISTRICT.
WE DON'T HAVE A PEDIATRIC TRAUMA
CRISIS SITUATION -- BEDS
[inaudible]
THERE'S NOT.
SO.
IF GOLDEN GATE.
WERE ABLE.
TO THERE'S NO WITH NO ORDER
REFER.
TO THERE'S NOT A PEDIATRIC
[inaudible]
CRISIS BUT SO.
I THINK THAT I'M SAYING IS.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESSES
IN IN A DIFFERENT FASHION WE
DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITIES.
IN THE PROVIDER MODEL.
YOU CAN DO IT ADMINISTRATIVELY
ALL DAY LONG WHO.
BUT I'M GOING OUT AND HITTING
THE WEEDS IN TALKING TO THE
PROVIDERS THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE
BLACK.
CAN SO IF YOU TAKE HIS
RESPONSIBILITY GOTTA TELL ME
THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH
THE MISSION.
BECAUSE THIS ONE COUNTY NOT
GOING.
TO THEY DON'T HAVE THE
CAPABILITY.
YOU'RE GONNA GO TO NORTH BAY
REGIONAL NORTH BAY HOSPITAL.
AND YOU GONNA GET A FIFTY ONE
FIFTY IF BEST FOR SEVENTY TWO
HOURS.
AND IF FAN THAT -- EXPIRES THEN
YOU CAN GO TO JUVENILE HALL.
HOW DOES THIS FIX THAT?
WELL I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE FIX ALL THE
PROBLEMS IN THE SYSTEM THROUGH
THIS EFFORT HOWEVER I DO BELIEVE.
THAT THROUGH THE VARIOUS
DEPARTMENTS COMING TOGETHER TO
TALK ABOUT WHERE THEIR
BREAKDOWNS IN COMMUNICATION
WHERE THERE ARE -- GAPS IN THE
SERVICES WHERE WE CAN WORK
TOGETHER TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES
AND BY US IDENTIFYING WHAT THOSE
ISSUES ARE FIRST OF ALL I DO
BELIEVE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE.
MORE EXPEDIENT AND BETTER
SERVICES TO TO THESE INDIVIDUALS.
I APPRECIATE YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT.
AND I HAD A BILL I THINK WAS
LAST YEAR THE YEAR BEFORE THAT
ACTUALLY WAS GOING TO REQUIRE
ALL THESE AGENCIES TO TALK.
AND IT WAS NOT SUPPORTED -- AND
I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE ADVANCING
THAT NOW.
IN A BIT THE COMMUNICATION IS
KEY RIGHT -- GOOD TO JUST
UNDERSTANDING THAT.
THE SERVICES AREN'T OUT THERE.
I AM THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL.
WE KNOW THAT JUST IN THE ID
POPULATION WITH THE WAITING LIST.
FOR SEVERELY.
DISABLED CHILDREN OR ADULTS.
WE CAN'T GET THEM HELP.
SO I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
ADDRESS THE PROVIDER ISSUE.
AND MAKING SURE THAT.
GRASS ROOTS IN THE ON THE FIRST
PRIORITY OF ALL OF THESE
AGENCIES.
IS MAKING SURE THANK YOU CAN TO
WHICH YOU.
ARE SETTING OUT TO ACCOMPLISH
WITH.
THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE ABLE.
TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE.
THERE'S A HUGE DISPARITY IN NY
BECAUSE A WE DON'T PAY ENOUGH.
HEY JOE SHOW THE RATE STUDY THAT
WE PROVIDED ONE POINT EIGHT
BILLION DOLLARS OF THE DEFICIT.
UNDER FUNDING THAT POPULATION.
SO WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO GET
INTO INVOLVED WITH THIS IF WE'RE
NOT FUNDING SO.
WE DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP OF
CONVERSATION BUT I REALLY I
REALLY NEED TO SEE.
FROM A GRASSROOTS PERSPECTIVE
THE YOU INCREASE.
THE EFFORTS ON PROVIDERS WHAT
ONE OF THE AND TYPES OF SERVICES
THAT IS VERY SUSTAINABLE ARE OUR
COMMITTEE CRISIS HOMES BECAUSE
THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT RATE MODEL
AND THIS YEAR WE ARE PROPOSING.
TO EXTEND THOSE TWO CHILDREN AND
WE ALSO ARE EXPANDING OUR
SERVICES TO CHILDREN WITH
REGARDS TO THE STATE OPERATED
ACUTE CRISIS SERVICES.
WE HAVE OUR MOBILE CRISIS
SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE SO
WE ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT
WHERE THOSE GAPS ARE AND WHAT
ADICIONAL MODELS WE NEED TO
CREATE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS.
SHE THAT BUT AND WHEN WE LOOK AT
WE ARE NOT.
COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL LAW.
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING
THE WAITING LIST THAT ARE OUT
THERE [inaudible]
AND SERIOUSLY WE I MEAN.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY WAITING A
YEAR OR YEAR AND A HALF FOR ABA
OR YOU KNOW SOMETHING DUE TO
THEIR ASSESSMENT.
IT'S OUT THERE IT'S REAL.
BUT THE AGENCIES NOT FOR NOT
RESPONDING TO THAT BY GETTING
MORE PROVIDERS AND IF THIS.
IS IT ANOTHER ADDITIONAL
RESPONSIBILITY I WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT.
THESE AGENCIES THAT ARE CLOSE TO
COLLABORATE.
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS AN ISSUE
[inaudible]
AGREED.
THANK YOU OTHER QUESTIONS
COMMENTS.
I THINK THAT THAT YOU KNOW.
OKAY WHO WAS A DENTAL THERE I
THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT
THE IN DEVELOPING THESE I'M --
USE OF IT AND MAKING SURE THAT
THE OTHER AGENCIES ARE INCLUDED
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE
DOING.
IN RESPONSE TO AB TWENTY EIGHTY

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR POPLAR
ACTING DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL

FEATURED BANKER CHIEF DEPUTY
DIRECTOR.
IN ORDER THE TAG TEAM A LITTLE
BIT HERE ALL SPEAK TO THE FIRST
ISSUE WHICH IS THAT --
INCREASING THE FREQUENCY OF
INSPECTIONS IN CHILD CARE HOMES
LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET ACTION
ADOPTED BY THE LEGISLATURE SOME
OF THE GOVERNOR.
THE BUDGET INCLUDED TWENTY SIX
POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FOR
THIS YEAR AND FOR NEXT YEAR IN
ADDITIONAL CHILD CARE AND
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
WERE CCD BG. TO DO ANNUAL
INSPECTIONS THIS REQUEST SIMPLY
PUTS THE POSITIONS TO GO WITH
THE DOLLARS -- THE CHILDCARE
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT IS A
FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAM
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF CHANGES
ADOPTED TO THAT ABOUT THREE
YEARS AGO ONE OF WHICH REQUIRED
THE ANNUAL CHILD CARE LICENSING
WE HAD CURRENTLY BEEN ATTY EVERY
THREE YEAR INSPECTION FOR A
CHILD CARE THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
WHICH HAD INCREASED FROM JUST A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS
IT FIVE YEARS.
SAID THIS FUN THESE FUNDS WILL
GIVE US THE ADEQUATE RESOURCES
ALONG WITH THE POSITIONS TO BE
ABLE TO CONDUCT ANNUAL
INSPECTIONS AT ALL OF OUR CHILD
CARE FACILITIES WHICH ARE
APPROXIMATELY FORTY SEVEN
THOUSAND IN THE STATE TODAY.
ON ISSUE NUMBER ARE WELL DONE
FOR B. HOW YEAH SAME ISSUE LEYVA
TRIP MYSELF SORRY -- HOUSING
TEAM IS IS PROUD TO OPERATE A
NUMBER OF PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE
VITAL SUPPORTS TO PEOPLE EITHER
SEEKING SSI BENEFITS TRYING TO
REUNITE OUT OF THE CHILD WELFARE
SYSTEM WITH FAMILIES OR SIMPLY
TO STABILIZE THEIR THEIR
FAMILIES LIVING SITUATION AND
THE THREE PROGRAMS LISTED.
IN YOUR AGENDA.
BUT WE'RE NOW -- OPERATING
ALMOST TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS AND PROGRAMS -- IN THIS
VEIN AND WE'RE DOING THAT WITH
ONLY THIRTEEN PEOPLE ACROSS THIS
MANY PROGRAMS -- THAT THAT'S A
LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFICULTY IN
OUR ABILITY TO ADEQUATELY
PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND OVERSIGHT TO
THOSE PROGRAMS.
AND ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT
WE'RE ASKING FOR IS A RESEARCH
PROGRAM SPECIALIST TO ASSIST
WITH THE EVALUATION OF THE
BRINGING FAMILIES HOME PROGRAM --
WHICH IS SOMETHING I THINK THAT
WE'RE ALL INTERESTED IN SEEING.
AFTER A ROUGHLY AT THIS POINT
TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF
OPERATION -- SO.
LOOKING LOOKING FOR THAT THE
SUPPORT WE NEED TO TO DO RIGHT
BY THESE PROGRAMS AND MAKE THEM
AS EFFECTIVE AS THEY REALLY NEED
TO BE [inaudible]

FUNDING FOR THIS TO GET FIVE NEW
POSITIONS DO FISCAL MANAGEMENT.
THIS CALL MONITORING AND
COUNTIES WE'VE CURRENTLY BEEN
UNDER DIRECTION FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THAT WE ARE NOT DOING
ADEQUATE MONITORING OF OUR
COUNTY FISCAL OPERATIONS.
THESE ARE SIMILAR TO BUT NOT
EXACTLY AUDITS AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF
THE FEDERAL FUNDING THAT'S
PASSED THROUGH THE STATE.
GOES DOWN THE LOCAL.
LEVEL IS BEING EXPENDED
CORRECTLY THEY WOULD LIKE US TO
MONITOR MORE AT BEING THESE FIVE

YEAR -- AND IT ENSURES THAT WE
CAN HAVE A CYCLE WHERE EVERY
COUNTY WILL BE REVIEWED AT LEAST
EVERY TEN YEARS.
SPATTER.
GET TO THE FIFTY YES.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
[inaudible]
WOW.
WITH THE FEDERAL FUNDS I I AM
VERY INTERESTED IN THE ADOPTION
STATUTORY CHANGES THAT CONFORM
AND REQUIRE ANNUAL.
INSPECTIONS FOR CHILD CARE
CENTERS AND FAMILY CHILD CARE
HOMES.
CAN I ASK ADMINISTRATIONS
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
ARE IN A DRAFTING THIS LANGUAGE
IN PREPARATION FOR US TO ADOPT
THIS AFTER THE MAY REVISE CLOSE
OUT HEARING.
WONDERFUL [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
THE QUESTIONS COME HIS RUBIO
JUST ON THE ANNUAL WEALTH --
THEM BACK UP ON THE WE DISCUSSED
THE THE TEMPER POSITIONS ARE.
MY CONCERN IS THAT.
YOU ARE CORRECT WE DON'T HAVE WE
CAN'T COUNT ON THE FEDERAL FUNDS
BY HOW DO YOU RECRUIT FOLKS --
IF THE POSITIONS ARE NOT GOING
TO BE -- I'M GOING WE ARE WE ARE
CURRENTLY HIRING PEOPLE IS
PERMANENT -- THERE ARE THERE ARE
COMMUNITY CARE LICENSING PROGRAM --
WHICH IN MOST OF THESE POSITIONS
ARE NOT ALL OF THEM -- THE
PEOPLE WHO DO THE INSPECTIONS
THERE IS -- CONSIDERABLE
TURNOVER AND THAT'LL POPULATIONS
WERE HIRING THEM IS PERMANENT
WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT -- THE
FUNDING WILL CONTINUE BUT FOR
MISSION THERE IT TAKES CARE YES
PEOPLE RETIRE PEOPLE LEAVE -- SO
WE BELIEVE THAT THERE WON'T BE
ANY PROBLEM WITH IT ZORBING THAT
ENDED THOSE ADDITIONAL STAFF SO
WE ARE HARD TO MISS PERMANENT
POSITIONS OKAY SO THAT WE WON'T
HAVE THOSE ISSUES AND THEN I
KNOW WE'VE DISCUSSED THE ANNUAL
INSPECTIONS AND RIGHT NOW THERE
IT'S EVERY THREE YEARS -- WHAT'S
STOPPING US FROM DOING IT EVERY
SINGLE YEAR CHILD CARE SERVICE
PROVIDERS ARE VERY CRITICAL
OBVIOUSLY AND IT'S A VERY
DANGEROUS -- WELL IT SAYS.
THE OVERSIGHT IS CRITICAL -- I
DID SEE THE RESULT I'M RUNNING A
BILL ON CHILD CARE SERVICES AND
THERE IS A PARENT THE CONTEST TO
FIND SAID THAT THERE WAS.
AN INCIDENT THAT HER SON'S --
DAYCARE OR CHILD CARE -- PLACE
AND HE END UP HOSPITALIZED AND
HEMORRHAGED IN YOU KNOW A LOT OF
ISSUES AND IF WE INSPECT EVERY
THREE YEARS.
YOU KNOW HOW IS THAT BEING
MONITORED I MEAN IN MY OPINION
IN OF THOSE POSITIONS LIKE --
THE OLD FOLKS.
HOMES SHOULD HAVE A REGULAR
VISIT JUST SO THAT WE ARE AWARE
OF ANY ISSUES BECAUSE THESE ARE.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND OLD PEOPLE NOT
YET AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING
OBVIOUSLY BUT MY POINT IS THAT
THESE ARE VULNERABLE KIDS AND
SOME OF THEM.
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TO SPEAK SOUL
CAN WE TALK ABOUT POSSIBLY IN
THE FUTURE.
OR SOON SOONER RATHER THAN LATER
TO HAVE ANNUAL INSPECTIONS AS
OPPOSED TO EVERY -- COUPLE YEARS
WELL THANKFULLY THAT'S WHAT THAT
THAT FUNDING WILL PROVIDE IS IT
WILL BE ANNUAL FOR THE NEXT THE
NEXT SEVERAL YEARS AND BY
PUTTING ON IMPERIAL THAT THE
LEGISLATURE'S ASKING RIGHT BUT
IT'S TEMPORARY FIND NG.
AND SOUL CAN YOU HELP US BE
CREATIVE SO THAT.
THE WAY YOU'RE BEING CREATIVE
YOU KNOW AND AND USING THE
RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE TO HIRE
THESE FOLKS HOW CAN WE LEVERAGE.
FINDING NOW TO MAKE THAT A
PERMANENT.
I ASIAN STEP ONLY FOR THE NEXT
FEW YEARS ONE OF THE THINGS THE
WORKING.
MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
BEEN DOING AND COMMUNITY CARE
LICENSING OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS HAS BEEN REALLY TO REBUILD
THE FOUNDATION OF LICENSING.
AND TO WHICH HAD BEEN KIND OF
DECIMATED DURING THAT THE THAT
THE RECESSIONARY TIMES AND TO
TRY AND DEVELOP NEW WAYS OF
DOING BUSINESS THAT CAN MAKE US
MORE EFFICIENT AND STILL MORE --
FUNDING OR QUALITY -- WHEN WE'RE
DOING OUR INSPECTIONS SO WE'VE
DEVELOPED A NEW INSPECTION TOOL
THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT'S
GOING TO ALLOW US TO DO A BETTER
MORE THOROUGH JOB WHEN WE'RE
DOING INSPECTIONS INSTEAD OF THE
WAY THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT NOW --
WHICH IS A A FAIRLY SHORT KEY
INDICATOR TOOL WE'RE MOVING TO A
MORE IN DEPTH.
TOOL THAT ACTUALLY IF YOU HAVE A
PROBLEM WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO DRILL DOWN ON THE AREA MORE
THAT PROBLEM OCCURS A LOT MORE
MORE QUICKLY FOR HOPING THAT IT
THAT OVER TIME AS WE DEVELOPED
AND WE'RE JUST DEVELOPING THESE
TOOLS NOW.
THAT THAT WILL MAKE US MORE
EFFICIENT IN OUR ABILITY TO DO
IT THE MORE EFFICIENT THE WE CAN
BE THE MORE TIME WE FREE UP SO
IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT
WE CAN SEE THAT EFFICIENCY
ACTUALLY COMING TO FRUITION IN
SEVERAL YEARS.
THAT MIGHT HAVE SYSTEMS IN YOU
KNOW SORT OF FREEING UP
ADDITIONAL TIME TO DO MORE
INSPECTIONS -- IN ADDITIONALLY
YOU KNOW FOCUSING ON PROVIDING
QUALITY ASSISTANT OUR TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE TO PROVIDERS. TO HELP
THEM BE IN COMPLIANCE INSTEAD OF
HAVING TO SITE FOR ONCE
SOMETHING IS ALREADY GONE WRONG
WE'RE TRYING TO DO A LOT MORE IN
PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
TO HELP THE COMPLIANCE.
THAT HELPS WITH HAVING FEWER
COMPLAINTS -- BECAUSE BY BEING
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FACILITY
CAN RUN BETTER SO ALL OF THESE
THINGS OVER TIME SHOULD BE
ALLOWING US TO MAKE MORE
EFFICIENT USE OF OUR STAFF AND
THEREFORE HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY.
BE ABLE TO CREATE SIMILAR TIME
FOR INSPECTIONS WILL IT BE THIS
MUCH THAT QUICKLY.
I DO I WOULD NOT AT ALL OVER
PROMISE THAT.
THANK YOU IF YOU KNOW IF WE
pCOULD BE AT ASSISTANCE OBVIOUSLY
TO DO THAT PLEASE LET US KNOW SO
THAT -- WE CAN SEE THIS AND
NOBODY'LL NOTICE THAT WE'RE
DOING IT EVERY YEAR [inaudible]
THANK YOU -- NO NO WE'LL JUST
KEEP IT QUIET JUST BETWEEN ALL
OF US HERE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
YOU MENTION CITATIONS AND
VIOLATIONS -- COULD YOU JUST FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES SHARE
WITH US WHAT YOUR COMPLAINT --
TOTAL IS AND ALSO WHEN YOU'RE
OUT WHAT YOUR CITATION OR
VIOLATION.
AVERAGES PER VISIT.
I CAN SPEAK TO THE AVERAGE PER
VISIT AND I CAN.
GIVE OUR CHILD CARE -- A PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATOR BEHIND ME WHO MAY
HAVE MORE SPECIFIC NUMBERS BUT
IN TERMS OF HOW MANY --
CITATIONS WE HAVE PER VISIT IT'S
RELATIVELY SMALL ACROSS ALL
PROGRAMS IT TENDS TO BE LESS
THAN TO ANY PARTICULAR VISIT IN
TIME.
NOW THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT A
PARTICULAR FACILITY MIGHT HELP
SEVERAL AND MY HAVE CERTAINLY
MORE SERIOUS VIOLATIONS -- THAN
OTHERS BUT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF CITATIONS THAT ARE GIVEN OUT.
ONE THE REASON I'M JUST TRYING
TO VALIDATE THE THE ESSENTIAL
REASON FOR HAVING THESE
INSPECTIONS OF THE PROTECTION OF
THE CHILDREN AND AND THEN YOU
ARE FINDING.
IN EVERY INSTANCE SOMETHING THAT
WILL BENEFIT THE CHILD'S SAFETY
OR IT WILL BE ABSOLUTELY -- AND
I AND I DO AND I WHEN I SAY THAT
THE YOU KNOW.
THERE'S ONE OR TWO WHEN WE GIVE
FROM CITATIONS THERE'S TWO TYPES
OF CITATIONS WE TEND TO GET ONE
OR THINGS THAT ARE AN IMMEDIATE
RISK THOSE ARE CALLED TYPE A
MEANING IT'S THAT.
THAT CHILD RIGHT NOW IS AT RISK
OF SOMETHING HAPPENING.
THAN THE OTHERS IT'S A POTENTIAL
RISK IF YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING
ABOUT WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS THEN
THAT CAN HAPPEN.
AND WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF THOSE TYPE A BIT VIOLATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IN ANY
GIVEN YEAR -- IN ADDITION WE
DEAL WITH COMPLAINTS WHICH
BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN AT SUCH AN
INFREQUENT -- INSPECTION --
INTERVALS DURING THE LAST DECADE
OR SO -- WE HAVE A BECOME TO
RELY MUCH MORE ON COMPLAINTS
WHEN PEOPLE CALL IN TO SAY HEY
SOMETHING'S GOING ON AT MY
CHILD'S CHILD CARE THIS INCIDENT
HAPPENED.
AND WE HAVE TO RESPOND TO THAT
AND SO IT IT ALL KIND OF IS IT
FITS TOGETHER IN ITS SYSTEM OF
OF MAKING SHORT ENSURING HEALTH
AND SAFETY SO.
THESE L. P. A.'S THAT LICENSING
PROGRAM ANALYSTS AT THAT DO
THESE INSPECTIONS THEY ALSO DO
ALL THAT OTHER WORK AND SO
PROVIDING -- FOR THEM TO BE ABLE
TO DO THESE ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
SHOULD HOPEFULLY ALSO AND IN
FEWER COMPLAINTS BECAUSE WE HAVE
BETTER COMPLIANCE AND SHE WERE
BAD THINGS HAPPENING THE WE HAVE
TO ADDRESS AFTER THE FACT.
DULY NOTED THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER JUST FOR
YOUR COMMENT ON TOTAL COMPLAINTS --
AND SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN TOTAL
COMPLAINTS WERE ABOUT SIXTEEN
THOUSAND FIVE THOUSAND OF THOSE
WERE COMPLAINTS THAT ROLLED OVER
FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.
PERCY CL OVERALL ACROSS ALL
FACILITIES.
THANK YOU.
I THINK THE THE ONE MESSAGE WHEN
I HEAR IT FROM YOU AS WELL AS
FROM THE MEMBERS IS ANNUAL
EXPECT INSPECTIONS ARE A GOOD
THING.
AND I THINK THAT IN THE END WE
ALL BENEFIT SO HEARING THAT FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS THE YOU KNOW
THAT IN THE FUTURE WHEN THE
OTHER BUDGET REQUESTS.
YOU SAY YOU TOLD ME YOU WANTED
ANNUAL RICK ANNUAL INSPECTIONS.
SO WITH THAT.
YES DID YOU WANT TO SORRY THE
TABLE WAS KIND OF FLOODING WHEN
I GET GET UP THERE IS THE GAME
PERMIT FINANCE.
AS WENT OUT TO EXTENT THAT THERE
IS WE ADOPTED ME IF WE DROP IT
ME AND EXPECT IS ON GOING.
GIVEN THAT THE FUNDING THAT
WE'RE HAVING RIGHT NOW TO
PROVIDE THIS AND EXPRESSIONS
FEDERAL FUNDING ONLY.
THERE WILL BE A GENERAL FUND
PRESSURE IN THE IN THE FUTURE
JEFF ACOSTA OUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO DO -- ANYA EXPANSION ONCE
DEBORAH FUND IS DEPLETED.
HE TELLS ONE IN THE OUT YEARS
THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED -- HEALTH
CORRECT THE I DON'T NOT SURE HOW
LONG HAVE THE FEDERAL FUNDING
THE BILL FOR HOW LONG.
THE TWO WE GOT -- TO BUCKETS IF
YOU WILL OF THAT CCTV CHEAP
FUNDING FROM A AND THIS CURRENT
YEAR'S BUDGET AND THEN AGAIN IN
NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET.
EACH ONE OF THOSE BUCKETS IS IS
CAN BE EXPENDED OVER A PERIOD OF
THREE YEARS BUT IF YOU WANTED TO
CONTINUE DOING ANNUAL
INSPECTIONS DURING THAT PERIOD
OF TIME IT WOULD PROBABLY BE TWO
YEARS FROM NOW.
THAT THE GENERAL FUND WOULD HAVE
TO BEGIN TO BACK FILL THAT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU.

WE ARE ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL

SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK
ACROSS THE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS

IMMIGRATION SERVICES FUNDING
PROGRAM WERE ASKING. FOR SIX
PERMANENT POSITIONS TO CONTINUE
TO OPERATE THOSE PROGRAMS -- WE
DO A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF SITE
VISITS TO OUR LEGAL SERVICES
PROVIDERS WE PROVIDE A
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE TO THEM.
IN HOW TO DO THIS BUSINESS WE DO
A LOT OF CONNECTING THEM WITH
EACH OTHER -- AND THAT KIND OF
THAT ALREADY REQUIRES -- WARM
BODIES TO IT TO DO ALL OF THAT
WORK.
ADDITIONALLY THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTING WORKLOAD
FOR US AT THE DEPARTMENT AS WELL
ON BOTH ON THE PROGRAM SIDE.
AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATION
SIDE SO WE'RE ASKING -- FOR SOME
POSITIONS TO FULLY SUPPORT THIS
PROGRAM AS WELL.
VERY GOOD THANK YOU.
AN ON ITEM BEING -- THIS IS FOR
STAINING IT SERVICES ESSENTIALLY
THIS IS -- WE HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO BE MORE EFFICIENT IN OUR

EXPENDED -- IT IT LITERALLY HAS
BEEN COBBLED TOGETHER FROM AND
