BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Advisory Council on Aging (ACOA) consists of 40 members serving 2 year staggered terms, each ending on September 30. The Council consists of representatives of the target population and the general public, including older low-income and military persons; at least one-half of the membership must be made up of actual consumers of services under the Area Plan. The Council includes: 19 representatives recommended from each Local Committee on Aging, 1 representative from the Nutrition Project Council, 1 Retired Senior Volunteer Program, and 19 Members at-Large.

The Contra Costa Area Agency on Aging (AAA) recommends the appointment of Ms. Rhoda Butler to Member At-Large Seat #3 for a term expiring on September 30, 2021.

The Area Agency on Aging, the ACOA and the Clerk of the Board, using CCTV, assisted with recruitment. AAA staff has encouraged interested individuals including minorities to apply through announcements provided at the Senior Coalition meetings and at the regular monthly meetings of the ACOA. The Contra Costa County EHSD website contains dedicated web content, where interested members of the public are encouraged to apply and provided an application with instructions on whom to contact for ACOA related inquiries, including application procedures.

Ms. Butler submitted an application for ACOA membership dated 03/11/2021 that is provided as a separate attachment. The ACOA Membership Committee interviewed Ms. Butler on May 19, 2021. The Membership Committee recommended Ms. Butler to the ACOA Executive Committee to fill MAL#3 seat. The ACOA Executive Committee approved Ms. Butler to fill MAL#3 at their 6/02/2021 meeting. Members of the ACOA voted unanimously to approve Ms. Butler’s appointment to MAL#3 seat at their 6/16/2021 meeting.
