☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ACCEPT the resignation of Michael Castillo, DECLARE a vacancy of the Alternate #1 seat on the Advisory Council on Aging for term ending on September 30, 2025, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
Michael Castillo was appointed by the Board of Supervisors as the Alternate #1 representative on the Advisory Council on Aging (ACOA) on March 5, 2024, with a term ending on September 30, 2025.
The ACOA is mandated by the Older Americans to advise the Area Agency on Aging on the development and implementation of a county wide plan for aging. The ACOA works as an advocate for adults, adults with disabilities and caregivers in Contra Costa County and serves as a channel of communication about information on aging.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the proposed action not be approved by the Board of Supervisors, the seats will not be declared vacant and new appointments to the positions would not be able to be made. This could cause issues with achieving quorum for the Council and potentially impact their ability to hold meetings.
