FISCAL IMPACT:

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 the Board of Supervisors sub-committee.  
  




BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
    The Board established the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority Advisory Committee in March 1998. In April 1999, the Board of Supervisors accepted and approved the IHSS Public Authority Implementation Team Findings and Recommendations, including recommendations regarding Advisory Committee membership criteria.  
      
    In March 2001, the Board approved amendments to the membership criteria. As amended, the Advisory Committee consists of 11 members: 4 Consumers aged 60 or older, 2 Consumers aged under 60, and one member from each Supervisorial District. Under Board policy, the F&HS would typically review only general membership or “At-Large” seats, and would not review appointments to supervisorial district seats. However, when the Advisory Committee was originally established, the Board of Supervisors directed that the F&HS review and coordinate supervisorial district appointments to ensure that none of the following categories has more than one representative: senior advocate, advocate for younger disabled, representative from the developmental disability community, IHSS individual provider, IHSS family provider, social worker, nurse, community-based organization, home health agency. Terms of appointment are four years.  
      
    Wilson Cheng has held Seat 1 for Consumers under 60 and is requesting reappointment. His current term expires on 3/6/2020 and if reappointed, his new term would end in March 2024. Mr. Cheng has been an active member of the committee.   
      
    Please see attached application and letter of interest. Mr. Wilson Cheng resides in El Cerrito City District I.  
      
    Other filled at large seats include:  
    1. Consumer Under 60 Seat 2 – residency in Walnut City District V
    2. Consumer 60 or Older Seat 1 – residency in San Pablo City District I
    3. Consumer Any Age Seat 3 – residency in Concord City District IV
    4. Consumer Any Age Seat 4 – residency in Pleasant Hill City District IV
      

    CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

    Failure to re-appoint at this time may result in a vacancy on the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Committee.
