RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE revised Bylaws of the Advisory Council on Aging as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Department Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

The Advisory Council on Aging (ACOA) is an advisory body to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. In review of the ACOA Bylaws, revisions were made to provide greater clarity and direction in the administration of the Council's operations. The revision of Section 3.9 will allow the ACOA Executive Committee to have final decision making powers on whether or not to vacate a seat on the Council due to a member's absence(s).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Membership Committee will track member attendance and contact members who experience a series of absences. The purpose of the contact, call or letter, is to remind members of the Leave of Absence Request procedures and to review the impact their absences have on the Council's ability to establish a quorum under the Brown Act. The Membership Committee will determine if an absence was due to medical reasons or other unforeseen emergency. The Executive Committee will advise the Membership Committee as to any proposed course of action regarding the absences.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Advisory Council on Aging Bylaws will contain inconsistencies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
