BACKGROUND
There are currently eight openings on the Napa/Solano Agency on Aging Advisory Council due to a term expirations and vacancies. The County Executive Office advertised the vacancies and received four reappointment requests from Fern Yaffa, Neil Watter, Susan Ensey, and Fran Rosenberg, all seeking a second term.
On August 28, 2018, the Napa County Board of Supervisors approved a joint application with Solano County to form a new Area Agency on Aging for Planning Service Area 28. Subsequent to that, both counties appointed representatives to the Oversight Board and conducted a recruitment for members for the federally-mandated advisory council. The Advisory Council members were appointed on April 23, 2019.
The advisory council is required to represent the senior population in respect to ethnic and racial distribution in Napa and Solano counties. In addition, the following categories must be represented among the eight Napa representatives and the eight Solano representatives:
1. Older persons, including minority Individuals, who are participants or who are eligible to participate in programs under 45 CFR 1321.57;
2. Representatives of older individuals;
3. Representatives of health care provider organizations, including providers of veterans’ health care;
4. Representatives of supportive services providers organizations;
5. Persons with leadership experience in the private and voluntary sectors;
6. Local elected officials;
7. Family caregiver representative; and
8. The general public.
Requested Action:
Reappoint Fern Yaffa, Neil Watter, Susan Ensey, and Fran Rosenberg to the Napa/Solano Agency on Aging Advisory Council.
