FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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

The Advisory Council on Aging consists of 40 members serving two-year staggered terms, each ending on September 30. The Council consists of representatives of the target population and the general public, including older low-income and military persons; at least one-half of the membership must be made up of actual consumers of services under the Area Plan.

The Council includes: 19 representatives, one recommended from each Local Committee on Aging; 1 representative from the Nutrition Project Council, 1 Retired Senior Volunteer Program, and 19 members at large.

There are currently 29 seats filled on the Advisory Council on Aging and 11 vacancies. These vacant seats include: Local Committee Pinole, Local Committee Richmond, Local Committee Pittsburg, Local Committee San Ramon, Local Committee San Pablo, Local Committee Martinez, Local Committee Oakley, and Member-At-Large seats 6, 8, 10 and 19.

The Family and Human Services Committee reviewed and approved the recommended appointments on December 3, 2018. Board approval of the three appointments will bring the vacancy level down to 8, with 32 filled seats.
