Public Authority Regulations require that the Board of Supervisors. acting as the Public Authority. 1) appoint an advisory committee of no m- ore than eleven (11) members; and 2) no fewer than 54 percent of the advisory committee members shall be persons who are current or past users of personal assistance services paid for through public or private funds. Using the regulatory requirements and County Ordinance as a starting point, the Implementation Team addressed the membership of the Advisory Committee. The group addressed the issues of: the total number of Committee members: number and characteristics of consumer representatives, including current or past users, services paid for by public funds or private pay and the appointment of consumer members based on age, disability and/or other criteria; the number and representative categories for "other" members; and the desire that membership represent the ethnic, racial, geographic, age and other diversities of the County's IHSS consumer and provider populations. After careful consideration, the majority of Team members agree that the following recommendation will give broad, fair and representative consumer and stakeholder membership on the Advisory Committee. 14 The majority of Implementation Team members recommend the following regarding Advisory Committee membership: 1. Membership shall includesix (6) consumers: a) Consumer m. embers shall be individuals who are current or past users of personal assistance services paid for through public or private fai ds; b) At least 50 percent of consumer members shall be current users of IHSS; e) Consumer members will represent two age categories, i.e., consumers over 65 years of age and consumers under 65 years of age; d) The number of members appointed from each age category will be representative of the IHSS caseload. In the current IHSS caseload 66.66 percent; of consumers are over 65 years of age and 33.33 percent are under 55 years of age; e) This will result in four (4) consumer members being appointed who are over 65 years of age; and two (2) consumer members being appointed who are under 65 years of age; and f) Consumer members shall be residents of Contra Costa County. Minority opinion on consumer members: There was a significant minority of Team members that fait appointing three (3) consumer members over 65 years of age; and three (3) consumer members under 65 years of age would give fairer consumer representation than that reflected in the majority recommendation. 2. Membership shall include five 15)other positions: a) The five positions shall be appointed from each of the five supervisorial districts; b) Individuals appointed shall live or work in Contra Costa County: and c) Supervisors will attempt to select the members from the list of recommended categories. * d) The selection process shall be coordinated to achieve the following. no category shall have more than one representative; and one of the appointments shall be an IIISS individual provider or IHSS family provider. 15 List of recommended Advisory Committee member categories The Implementation Team believes individuals representing the following categories will bring significant and relevant expertise to the Advisory Committee: • senior advocate • advocate for younger disabled • representative from the developmental disability community • IHSS individual provider • IHSS family provider social worker nurse community-based organization representative home health agency representative 3. The Implementation Team recommends that efforts be made to recruit and select Advisory Committee members representing the ethnic, racial, geographic, age and other diversities of the County's IHSS consumer and provider populations. It is suggested that the application. for Advisory Committee membership include a statement regarding the Board's desire that Advisory Committee membership refect the ethnic, racial. geographic, age and other diversities of the County's IHSS consumer and provider populations, and that the application include a section where the applicant may voluntarily state his/her ethnicity. 4. To further address the issue of Advisory Committee _membership. the Team recommends that the Public Authority reviews Advisory Committee membership annually to determine if the membership meets the needs of the key stakeholder groups: and make appropriate membership adjustments. if necessary. 16
