SUBJECT: POLICY CHANGE FOR CONSUMER MEMBERSHIP ON THE
IN-HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES (IHSS) AUTHORITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE an amendment to the age requirements of the four consumer membership seats on the
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Authority Advisory Committee from "65 or older" to "60 or
older".
BACKGROUND:
On December 12, 2000, the Board of Supervisors referred to the 10 Committee consideration of
a change of policy regarding consumer membership on the IHSS Authority Advisory Committee.
The request to change the membership policy stems from a difficulty in recruiting and retaining
consumers aged 65 and above who are willing and able to participate in the activities of the
Advisory Committee. In December, the Advisory Committee proposed a membership policy
change that the Advisory Council on Aging would not endorse. Since that time, the two advisory
bodies have reached agreement on a membership policy that will meet the needs and
requirements of both bodies.
The Internal Operations Committee approved the proposed revised membership policy at its
February 5, 200,1 meeting and now proffers its recommendation to the Board.
