Effective on July 2nd of 2018, the City Council transformed the Childhood Obesity Prevention Task Force (COPTF) into a new 5-Member Childhood Obesity Prevention Advisory Group (COPAG), to coincide with the implementation of the FY 2018/19 Contracts and program administration for childhood obesity prevention programming. Thus, rescinding previous City Council adopted resolutions 2011-123, 2012-117, 2014-035, and 2016-005. For information on COPAG, please refer to the Youth, School, & Community Partnerships Division.

The San Pablo City Council hosted its first Childhood Obesity Prevention Task Force (COPTF) meeting on March 7, 2012 to bring awareness to the growing childhood obesity epidemic in the community.  The Task Force worked collaboratively with stakeholders to develop a Community Action Plan focused on increasing community awareness of the obesity epidemic, increasing accessibility to healthy food and physical activity opportunities, and expanding healthy eating, active living programs. Since the completion of the CAP, the COPTF has been working toward implementation.
