RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Keegan Duncan to the Consumer Seat of Any Age - Seat 4 and Joe Juarez to the Consumer Under 60 - Seat 2 on the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Committee with terms expiring March 6, 2022.

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 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. Terms of membership are four years. 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.

On April 23, 2018, the Family and Human Services Committee approved the recommendation of the IHSS Public Authority Committee to reappoint Keegan Duncan and Joe Juarez.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the seats will remain vacant and the committee will have challenges maintaining a full membership.
