PURPOSE: To reappoint three members to the HSAC.
BACKGROUND: This 18-member Commission, whose members are appointed by the Board
of County Commissioners, reports to the County Manager's office. There is specific
representation from various human service organizations, such as the Board of Social Services,
Interfaith Council, Partnership for Young Children, and the United Way. Each spring the HSAC
contributes to the review of the annual funding applications of non-profit groups submitted to the
County.
The HSAC is a planning and evaluative body responsible for making recommendations to the
Board of Commissioners concerning human service programs. To meet this goal, the HSAC
plans and coordinates an annual Forum, held in September, on a relevant human service issue.
The HSAC takes the results of the Forum and develops specific recommendations to the Board
of County Commissioners concerning how to improve human services in the community.
