REAPPOINT Rhonda Butler to At-Large Seat #3, Gerald Richards to At-Large Seat #9, Jagit Bhambra to At-Large Seat #11, Dennis Yee to At-Large Seat #14, Brian O'Toole to At-Large Seat #16 and Jill Kleiner to At-Large Seat #19 on the Contra Costa Advisory Council on Aging for terms ending September 30, 2023, as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

The Family and Human Services Committee reviewed these appointments and recommended their appointment to the Board of Supervisors at their September 27, 2021 meeting.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 7, 2020 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy 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.

The Advisory Council on Aging provides a means for county-wide planning, cooperation and coordination for individuals and groups interested in improving and developing services and opportunities for the older residents of this County. The Council provides leadership and advocacy on behalf of older persons and serves as a channel of communication and information on aging.

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 Area Agency on Aging, the ACOA Membership Committee and the Clerk of the Board, using CCTV, recruit for these seats. The Contra Costa County EHSD website contains dedicated web content where interested members of the public are encouraged to apply. The website provides access to the Board of Supervisors official application with instructions on whom to contact for ACOA related inquiries, including application procedure.
