BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Napa County Child Care and Development Planning Council (the Council) is to assess Napa County child care needs and develop plans to address those needs. The Council is committed to the belief that all children in Napa County have the right to experience a safe, healthy and nurturing childhood with equal access to community services and support. The Council shall collaborate to foster public and private partnerships to maximize family and child development resources through coordination and collaboration. The Council was created by Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 98-14 on February 10, 1998 to consist of twenty members, with ten members appointed by the Board of Supervisors and ten appointed by the Napa County Superintendent of Schools, the composition of which had to include the following:
• 20% Consumers of Child Care - parents or persons who receive, or who have received within the past 36 months, child care services.
• 20% Child Care Providers - persons who provide child care services or represent persons who provide child care services, reflective of the range of child care providers in the county.
• 20% Public Agency Representatives - persons who represent a city, county, city and county, or local
education agency.
• 20% Community Representatives - persons who represent an agency or business that provides private funding for child care services, or who advocates for child care services through participation in civic or community based organizations but are not child care providers and do not represent an agency that contracts with the California Department of Education to provide child care and development services.
• 20% Public Members At-Large - persons from any of the above categories or outside of these categories at
the discretion of the appointing agencies.
On December 8, 1998, by Resolution No. 98-150 of the Board of Supervisors, the Council's Bylaws were adopted. On December 17, 2013 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2013-154 amending the Bylaws of the Council, which included reducing the number of members to ten, clarifying membership qualifications, making minor changes to the mission of the Council, reducing the number of members of the Executive Committee, changing the filing location for statements of economic interests and other minor clerical
changes.
On May 10, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2016-56, which designated a specific meeting location and updated the parliamentary authority.
Staff requests the Board to reappoint Debbie Peralez to represent Child Care Provider and Elayna Trucker to represent At Large to the Child Care and Development Planning Council.
