REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will allow Fresno Council on Child Abuse Prevention (FCCAP) to submit an annual report to your Board in accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) ?18983.6, which requires a report be provided to the County Board of Supervisors.

There is no viable alternative action. Should the recommended action not be approved, FCCAP's Annual Report will not be submitted in accordance with WIC ?18983.6.
FISCAL IMPACT:

DISCUSSION:
On August 23, 2005, your Board designated FCCAP as the County's child abuse prevention council pursuant to WIC 18980-18983. The Council's primary purpose is to coordinate the community's efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse. Functions include the provision of a forum for interagency cooperation, promotion of public awareness, encouragement of training for professionals in the prevention of child abuse, recommendations of service improvements and encouragement of community support for child abuse and neglect programs.
The recommended action complies with WIC Section 18983.6, which requires that designated Councils provide yearly reports to the Board of Supervisors. FCCAP has complied with this requirement in prior years through the distribution of their report informally to the Board. In consultation with the County's Administrative Office, it was requested that the Annual Report be submitted through the Board agenda process.
The 2016-17 Annual Report details FCCAP's child abuse prevention efforts, collaborations and partnerships, public support and revenue received.
