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 (PA) Advisory Committee (AC) members $24 per meeting, not to exceed three (3) AC meetings per month for the 12-month period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 for a total cost for eleven (11) members not to exceed $7,300 in stipends, to defray meeting attendance costs as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$7,300: In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) funds (50% Federal, 47% State and 3% County).

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors' Ordinance No. 2001-7, Division 55-2.210 established the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority (PA) Advisory Committee. The Primary role of IHSS Public Authority Committee is to serve in an advisory capacity to the Public Authority Governing Board (Board of Supervisors), Public Authority staff, and the administrators of In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS).

The IHSS Public Authority Advisory Committee members receive $24 stipend to attend Advisory Committee meetings paid through the Auditor-Controller office to defray attendance costs of members. The IHSS Public Authority receives an annual allocation every year to cover the costs of IHSS Public Authority Advisory Committee. The federal and state governments reimburse the expenses quarterly through an established claiming process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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