This item brings forward the following appointments as recommended by the SCA Executive Committee:
• Appointment of Jennifer MacKinnon, Clinical Associate Director, Uplift Family Services to the membership category of Community Based Organization that Provides Services to Families and Youth.

• Appointment of alternate Neely McElroy, Social Services Administrator-Child Welfare Services for category of Solano County Health & Social Services (alternate for Aaron Crutison).
The proposed appointments are included in the Proposed Membership Roster (Attachment A).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with preparing this agenda item is nominal and absorbed by the Department’s FY2019/20 Adopted Budget. There is no financial impact for this decision; approval will assist the SCA to reach a quorum to conduct their business.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to appoint the applicants; however, this is not recommended as the applicants have been brought forward in accordance with the approved Bylaws; have demonstrated an interest in the welfare of children in Solano County; and are prepared to dedicate their time to the SCA.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The membership appointments and alternates have been reviewed and recommended by the Executive Committee of the SCA.
