BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the Clark County Code 2.07.040, the Board of County Commissioners appoints eleven members to the Department of Family Services (DFS) Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) to offer opinions and recommendations concerning the facilities, services and resources provided by DFS. The eleven members represent the following groups: court appointed special advocate (1 member); foster and adoptive parent (1 member); local juvenile probation services (1 member); parent advocate (1 member); private provider of mental health care (1 member); Clark County School District (1 member); youth with foster care experience (1 member); general public (2 members); and child welfare advocates (2 members).The two vacant positions on the CAC are: one general public, and one Clark County School District. There is one applicant who is qualified, David Johnson, a resident of Clark County and approved foster parent. David's background as a homeless youth and peer counselor makes him a qualified choice to serve on the CAC as a member of the general public. Therefore, Staff respectfully recommend that David Johnson be appointed as member of the General Public.
