RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve the proposed amendments to the Bylaws of the Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County Department of Social Services (DSS) administers the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) along with a variety of programs funded by the Federal Older Americans Act. The AAA Advisory Council assists in the development of strategic plans that are a requirement of the funding contracts overseen by the California Department of Aging. As a part of that effort, Advisory Council members carry out advisory functions which further the AAA mission of developing and coordinating community-based systems of services for all older persons in Monterey County.
The California Department of Aging has requested that the bylaws of the Advisory Council be reviewed and updated every five years. The current version was approved by the Board of Supervisors in October 2017.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The drafted changes to the bylaws were approved by the Advisory Council on April 21, 2022. County Counsel provided input to the AAA Advisory Council and has approved the bylaws as to form.
FINANCING:
Approval of this action has no impact on the County General Fund.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council is mandated by the California Department of Aging as a part of the funding agreement to provide coordination of services for the aging population. As a result, it correlates to the Administration Strategic Initiative adopted by the Board of Supervisors by providing input and support in addressing issues that relate to older Monterey County residents.
