'► Y •' [' ► DILBF,TNENN TBD COUNTY, DSS AND CHILD CAR!; NETWORKS Commissioner Marshall made reference to the resolution that adopted the Child Care Council recommendations and indicated that the Social Services Board has recommended that the requirement to transfer the Day Care Coordinator position on.July 1, 1984,be deleted from the amendment at this time. Peggy Pollitzer, President of Child Care Networks, indicated to the Board of Commissioners that • on July 1, 1984 the transfer of the position did not take place because Child Care Networks was not yet ready and did not have a full board of directors and could not meet all the state requirements. At that time,a delay in the transfer was granted by the Board of Commissioners. An agreement has been reached among Child Care Networks, Day Care Coalition and DSS.. to keep the day care coordinator position with DSS until such time that DSS, day care centers and Child Care Networks determine that the position should be transferred to Child Care Networks. Commissioner Marshall indicated that the Social Services Board would like to have some direction from the Board of Commissioners for funding and an indication.to their willingness to leave this in abeyance and unsteady for an indefinite'time. Commissioner Carey emphasized that approval of the present recommendation would promote fragmentation of services which the Board should not do and which he would not support. Chris Nutter, member of both the ASS Council and Child Care Networks, pointed out that the decision to keep the position in DSS was made only with the welfare of all the children in Orange County in mind. Commissioner Carey questioned the purpose of the proposal and Chris Nutter clarified that the request is to revoke the transfer and let Child Care Networks continue at a pace conducive to a cooperative effort to work out the problems.
