Awards for the Tri-Valley Adolescent Health Initiative (TVAHI)

DESCRIPTION: The Tri-Valley Adolescent Health Initiative (TVAHI), a partnership
among Alameda County Health Care Services Agency, District 1 Board Supervisor Scott Haggerty, and
the Cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton, recently received two statewide awards.
The League of California Cities awarded the Ruth Vreeland Award for Engaging Youth in Local
Government to the TVAHI. The announcement was made in early October 2008 at the organization's
annual conference held in Long Beach. The award, a component of the League's annual Helen Putnam
Award for Excellence program, recognizes City programs in eleven categories that deliver the highest
quality and level of service in the most effective manner.
The TVAHI also received the City, County and Schools Partnership Award for 2008. This award is given
to the applicant that exhibits a proven effort in demonstrating collaboration among local jurisdictions.
The panel of judges, which included mayors, city council members, school board members and county
supervisors, awarded the Partnership Award to the TVAHI, based on the uniqueness of the collaboration
of the three cities, the County, and the inclusion of authentic youth voice in creating this initiative.
Additionally, the panel was impressed that the Initiative is addressing the important issue of access to
health care for adolescents.
A reception to present the Helen Putnam Award and 2008 City, County School Partnership Award to the
Tri-Valley Adolescent Health Initiative will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2008 from 4:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m. at the Martinelli Event Center in Livermore. The City Councils from the three participating
cities, as well as Alameda County representatives, have been invited to the reception.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council receive the report.
