Ll <br />L- <br />Commissioner Ginn felt the backup was insufficient to substantiate the changes in the <br />numbers and questioned whether the mental examinations required by the new law would <br />be covered under these figures or should be added. <br />Commissioner Macht asked the County Attorney's Office to check into that and <br />advise how it would affect the numbers. <br />Commissioner Ginn noted that there is a great need for additional training for workers <br />and that a scholarship program was needed. This came to light during recent meetings of the <br />School Readiness Coalition. She also questioned the support for the expansion and <br />availability of public/private transportation, and Chairman Adams responded that this item <br />is just an RFP. If a contractor were to come in and include the provision of transportation, <br />it would then be considered. <br />Commissioner Macht stated that Community Child Care Resources is in charge of that <br />aspect, and Commissioner Ginn felt the School Readiness Coalition was going far beyond <br />what the CCCR could provide. <br />Commissioner Ginn then questioned whether juvenile crime was being addressed, and <br />Commissioner Macht responded that the juvenile justice system would more appropriately <br />deal with that issue. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt more documentation is needed than is currently provided. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, the <br />Board, by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Ginn opposed) <br />approved RFP #2048 for the Children's Services <br />Advisory Committee Grant, as requested. <br />APRIL 18, 2000 <br />11 <br />-73- BOOK 113 PAGE L65 <br />
