Bill Pelter provided the following information on CDC and AARP:
Here’s the links to the CDC information on disability and the AARP Home Alone Revisited report on Caregiving I referenced in my comments tonight. Given the staggering disparities in health and human services COVID has revealed in our County an Aging and Disability Resource Connection is ideal to address the challenges many older adults, people with disabilities, and family members experience when trying to learn about and access long-term services and supports. Our ADRC will help Contra Costa residents connect to county and community-based services with the added benefit of assisting them through any eligibility process. Thereby increasing equity and access for all.

Continue to discuss process for finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors.
|
| |
The Committee continued to discuss the process for finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors. Mariana reported that one Board of Supervisors member and another Supervisor's staff member have directed that the scope of MXCAB does not include making specific dollar amount recommendations for funding; as Measure X is a general sales tax, it is the purview of the Board of Supervisors to allocate specific funding amounts. Several members stated strongly that the MXCAB was to prepare a detailed priority list and specific corresponding funding recommendations for 95% of the anticipated revenue generated by Measure X. Members of the public offered their opinions as well. After approximately an hour the item was continued to the May 19, 2021 meeting. |
