RECOMMENDATION(S):

RE-APPOINT Jagjit Bhambra to the At Large 11 seat, Dennis Yee to At Large 14 seat, Brian O'Toole to At Large 16 seat, and Jill Kleiner to At Large 19 seat, with terms expiring September 30, 2021, on the Advisory Council on Aging.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no 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 countywide 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 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 30 seats filled on the Advisory Council on Aging and 10 vacancies. These vacant seats include: Local Committee Oakley, Local Committee San Pablo, Local Committee Lafayette, Local Committee Moraga, Local Committee San Ramon, Local Committee Martinez, Local Committee Pinole, Local Committee Pittsburg, Local Committee Pittsburg, and Member-At-Large seat 8.

These re-appointment recommendations will not change the membership count of the Council, because the candidates are all incumbents.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Inaction or negative action will increase the number of vacant seats on the Council to 14, decrease community at large representation, and negatively impact the Council's ability to achieve a meeting quorum.
