| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The role and purpose of the Yolo County Health Council is to advise and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. The Council is the liaison between the Board and health systems. It establishes and maintains the area-wide health planning and activities identifying health goals and needs of Yolo County. It aims to develop and improve health services in the county.
Faced with the impact of nationwide changes to health care delivery, the Health Council must embrace change and continuous improvement. The additional goals to improve collaboration and coordination across the county on health related matters, enhance the capacity of the Council to advocate on health related issues and advise the Board of Supervisors, while building value in the meeting for members, have led the Health Council to request membership changes.
On March 12, 2013 your board approved changes to the current membership to include the addition of eight (8) health care system partners and eight (8) county health related committee representatives as voting members. The approved changes also included a reduction in district representatives to one (1) per district and three (3) at large representatives as voting members. Based on discussion at the meeting, Nothern Valley Indian Health Services has been added for a new total of nine (9) health care system partners. This would bring the new total membership to 25 voting members.
Health Care System leadership and the chair of the County health related committees will appoint representatives to include one alternate as their voting member. In this transitionary period, all current district representatives will remain as voting members until the end of their term. All future district appointments will be made in accordance with the new membership changes.
The changes as set forth above have been incorporated into a proposed amendment to County Ordinance Section 2-2.102 for this Board’s consideration. |
