BACKGROUND:

The Advisory Council on Aging provides a means for county-wide planning, cooperation, and coordination of individuals and groups interested in improving and developing services and opportunities for the older residents of the County. The Council provides leadership and advocacy on behalf of older persons and serves as a channel of communication and information on aging.

Council membership recruitment is handled by both the Area Agency on Aging, the ACOA Membership Committee and the Clerk of the Board using CCTV. Members of the AAA staff have encouraged interested individuals including minorities to apply through announcements distributed to the senior centers, Contra Costa libraries, the East, Central and West County Senior Coalitions and among the active ACOA membership. The ACOA Membership Committee has developed a survey and will continue work to populate the Council with members who are also consumers of services provided by the Older Americans Act. The Contra Costa County EHSD website contains dedicated web content where interested members of the public are encouraged to apply.

All Member At Large applicants recommended for reappointment were interviewed by members of the ACOA Membership Committee. The Membership Committee and the Council’s current President, Gerald Richards recommend the reappointment of all current Member At Large members who are interested in serving an additional term. Please find copies of the members’ applications provided as separate attachments.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Council will not have needed representatives.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
