Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
The Welfare Reform Board was created in 1997 to implement the Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (“PRWORA”) and resulting state legislation through promulgation and adoptions of local policies, rules, and regulations. This role has been fulfilled and the Welfare Reform Board is no longer needed to implement PRWORA. Any auxiliary role of the Welfare Reform Board can be absorbed by the charter-created Board of Human Services, whose duty is to advise the executive director on the policy and operation of the department. (Please note, it appears that the 1997 ordinance creating the Welfare Reform Board never officially got entered into the D.R.M.C., however in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office, we determined it is correct to still pursue an ordinance repeal).
