COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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.
On March 10, 2014 the Family and Human Services Committee reviewed the applications and recommends these
appointments to the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seat will remain vacant.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
