RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Joe Juarez Jr. to the Consumer Seat Under 60 - Seat 2 on the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Committee for a new four year term ending March 6, 2026, as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy amendments 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 a Board of Supervisors 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: four Consumers aged 60 or older, two Consumers aged under 60, and one member from each Supervisorial District. Under Board policy, the Family and Human Services (FHS) Committee 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 FHS 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.

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.
