On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 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 sub-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 consists of 40 members servicing 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.
Referral Update:
There are currently 33 seats filled on the Advisory Council on Aging and 7 vacancies. These vacant seats include: Local Committee Martinez, Local Committee Pittsburg, and Member-At-Large seats 3, 6, 10, 11 and 19. The current membership is as follows:
