DATE: Designation of the Adult Day Health Planning Cou as t e �� �t /
SUBJECT: Review Body for Community Based Long Term Services (Linkage
Program) and Response to the Mt. Diablo Rehabilitation Center
Request for Board Endorsement of the Center ' s Linkage Application
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors designate the Adult Day
Health Planning Council as the local body to review proposals for funding
under AB 2226 and SB 1337 (Linkage Programs) and advise the California
Department of Aging of said designation. It is also recommended that the
Board of Supervisors defer from endorsing any specific Linkage proposal
until it has received the recommendations of its review body.
BACKGROUND
In November, 1984 the Board of Supervisors received notification from the
California Department of Aging (CDA) of actions to be taken as an outcome
of legislation implementing the Seniors Initiative. This,'notification
pointed out that legislation implementing the Seniors Initiative specified
that proposals submitted for the Linkage Program be filed locally with the
Adult Day Health Care Planning Council or a specified local long term care
planning council for review and comment. It was requested that the Board
determined the most appropriate body in the County to act as the review
committee and to notify CDA of this designation.
It is the recommendation of the County Welfare Director that the Board of
Supervisors select the Adult Day Health Planning Council as the requested
review body and so advise CDA. On January 14, 1985 the Adult Day Health
Planning Council considered the expansion of their role to include serving
as the requested review body and agreed to offer their service to the Board
of Supervisors to serve as the requested review body. However, the Board
of Supervisors should qualify this selection to limit the Adult Day Health
Planning Council' s designation to review of Linkage proposals only and not
to expand the Adult Day Health Planning Council ' s responsibilities so far
as to obscure their basic responsibilities.
On February 26 , 1985 the Mt. Diablo Rehabilitation Center requested that
.the Board of Supervisors endorse the Center' s application to CDA for the
purpose of instituting Linkage Program in Contra Costa County. At this
time, it is still unclear as to whether or not the County will be
.submitting a Linkage proposal to CDA. However, in any event it would
appear premature for the Board to endorse any proposal prior to its review
by the designated local review body. The Linkage proposals are due to be
submitted to the local review body and CDA on March 13 , .1985. Therefore,

it is requested that the Board of Supervisors defer from endorsing any
proposal until it has received the recommendations of its review body.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The designation of the Adult Day Heaith Planning Council as the local
review body has no financial impact. It is also anticipated that the grant
funds would cover the cost of the components of the Linkage Program.
