Subject:APPOINTMENT TO THE IN HOME SUPPORT SERVICES PUBLIC AUTHORITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
regarding Advisory Committee membership criteria. In March 2001, the Board approved amendments to the
membership criteria.
As amended, the Advisory Committee consists of 11 members: 4 Consumers aged 60 or older, 2 Consumers aged
under 60, and one member from each Supervisorial District. Under Board policy, the IOC would typically review
only general membership or “At-Large” seats, and would not review appointments to supervisorial district seats.
However, when the Advisory Committee was originally established, the Board of Supervisors directed that the IOC
review and coordinate supervisorial district appointments to ensure that none of the following categories has more
than one representative: senior advocate, advocate for younger disabled, representative from the developmental
disability community, IHSS individual provider, IHSS family provider, social worker, nurse, community-based
organization, home health agency.
Terms of appointment are four years.
This seat expired March 6, 2012. Applications were accepted and reviewed by the District Supervisor and the
recommendation to appoint the above individual was then determined.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seat would remain vacant.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
