RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay each of up to eleven (11) In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority Advisory Council (AC) members $24 per meeting attendance for up to three (3) AC meetings per month for a total cost not to exceed $5,808 in stipends to defray meeting attendance costs for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of AC stipends for a one-year period is $5,808. These costs are covered entirely by IHSS funds, which are 50% Federal and 50% State.

BACKGROUND:

The Council's members receive $24 stipend(s) to attend AC meetings paid through the Auditor-Controller to defray meeting attendance costs of members. This helps positively support the Advisory Council's diversity, retention, attendance rates and participation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without stipends, meeting costs may be prohibitive to member attendance.
