RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay up to eleven (11) In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Council members, $24 per meeting for 21 meetings in the Fiscal year 2023-24 starting July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, for a total cost not to exceed $5,550 in stipends, to defray meeting attendance costs as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This $5,550 is funded with In-Home Support Services (IHSS) funds (50% federal, 47% State, 3% County General Fund). all of which is budgeted in FY 2023-24

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors' Ordinance No. 2001-7, Division 55-2.210 established the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority 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).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Council members receive $24 stipends to attend Advisory Council meetings, paid through the Auditor-Controller's office to defray attendance costs of members. The action is recommended by the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Board. Stipends are acceptable Advisory Committee expenditures as outlined in County Fiscal Letter 08/09-10 published by the California Department of Social Services on August 8, 2008. 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.

Previous Board Order has been authorized by the Board of Supervisors on May 17, 2022, for FY 2022-23 (C.59).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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