departments and agencies and cooperation with office of community services. 
Every state department, county agency, or other public or private agencies
providing programs and services to the disadvantaged, refugees, and immigrants
shall be encouraged to actively work toward the goals and objectives
established by the office of community services and to coordinate with the
office of community services the development of its program plans.  The
executive heads of all such departments and agencies shall cooperate with the
office of community services in providing information as the office deems

from the functions, powers, and duties prescribed by law for any other
department or agency of this State or county, nor to terminate any existing
contracts between such department or agency and any private organizations for
the development or administration of programs or services to the disadvantaged,
refugees, and immigrants.  Notwithstanding that each county shall maintain
maximum control over the development and administration of human service

employee of the State and of the counties shall cooperate with and assist the
office of community services in the performance of the functions, powers, and
duties of the office. [L 1985, c 305, pt of §1]
