Commissioner Gustaveson stated the Ad Hoc Committee which has been composed of mostly HSA Board members is requesting a general official endorsement of support of the concept of a sub-area council , with a charge to work out the details . If this endorsement is forthcoming, the Ad Hoc group will then approach the HSA Board for official recognition and begin work on the details of setting up the council . Discussion ensued. Mr. Gustaveson stated that some clerical assist- ance would be required from the County to work with the HSA Staff. Commissioner Willhoit pointed out there is no mechanism of translating the work of the HSA Board back into the County, and the Councils would pro- vide that mechanism to relate to the County and the HSA Board. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the Board of Commissioners endorse the concept of the Orange County Health and Medical Care Advisory Council as summarized, and to charge the Ad Hoc Committee to continue discussion with more specific details as to the purpose, function and structure of the Council, and to report back to the County Commissioners at a later date. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Pinney, and all members of the Board voted aye to the motion. The motion was declared passed.

The Social Services Director, Tom Ward, stated his department would know by May 15th if this is an acceptable budget. The Board briefly discussed the Title IV-D Budget for 1978-1979 .
