SUMMARY

N/A

DISCUSSION

The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Advisory Committee (Committee) is appointed by the Board of Supervisors to provide recommendations about the IHSS program and provider registration/relations activities of the IHSS Public Authority.  Shasta County Code 2.45.070, In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee, states that the Committee shall be comprised of nine individuals of which no less than 50 percent shall be personal care recipients, no less than two shall be personal care providers, and the remainder may be community members who advocate for people with disabilities, seniors, or home care providers.

 

Effective March 31, 2018, the membership term for Evan LeVang expires.  It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors reappoint this member to fulfill the statutory proportional requirements for provider, recipient and community members within the existing Committee.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board, at its discretion, may decline to reappoint the recommended individual and direct staff to return with a new appointee recommendation.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. At their February 14, 2018 meeting, the Committee voted in support of the recommended reappointment.

FINANCING

The Adopted FY 2017-18 IHSS Public Authority budget (FU 851) includes sufficient appropriation authority for Committee activities and sufficient budget authority will be included in future fiscal year budget requests.  There is no additional General Fund impact with the recommended action.
