F Thursday, April 17, 2008 John Cotrell, Executive Director Contra Costa County Public Authority, Dear Mr. Cotrell, My name is Catherine Cratty and I have had the privilege of being on the Contra Costa County Public Authority Advisory Committee since 2002. I have enjoyed learning from and working with the other members. I feel that we have accomplished quiet a lot so far. We have done many provider trainings, we have been involved in health fairs, we have attended statewide conferences including, "Empowering California's IHSS Advisory committees through communication and Education". Beginning in November 2007 our newsletter "Living Independently" was published which reaches about 6,000 IHSS consumers.We are starting our criminal background checks so that our consumers can feel more secure in their own homes. This year we have also seen our rapid response program become very successful. We have begun to solve some of our payroll problems with new machines that will allow our providers to be paid more quickly. We have also begun a Direct Deposit system which will shorten the wait time for their checks. I am requesting that 1 be allowed to continue to be on the board and work to solve many of the challenges faced by our consumers. Thank You, Catherine Cratty CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ADVISORY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, OR COMIVIITTEES APPLICATION FORM Name of Advisory Body applying for LJL64 C.o V ' ar Application Form must be typed or hand printed Name of Applicant: e—y- i n c lC 2"Q 14k/ Home Address: 3 S 4 '.r-V 12 v✓ City: State: y Zip: Home Phone:�C1.2 7 5 ��3�_Work Phone: Signature: C44't'a Date: Personal Experiences,Skills,and Interests Education/Background: OccupationBmployer: ' CommunityActivities: 61 Special Interests: Information: o` I.
