20 <br /> <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said a one-bedroom dwelling would only be suitable for 1-2 1 <br />people. 2 <br />Javon Holley said it can be larger, as the living room is allowed to be a bedroom. 3 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said the 1-2 person household could live in small (tiny) home. 4 <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked if the Department on Aging is a part of these 5 <br />conversations. 6 <br />Sherrill Hampton said yes. 7 <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked if the Department on Aging is steering people to the 8 <br />Housing Department, or is it working autonomously. 9 <br />Sherrill Hampton said both departments are working together on the Mater Aging Plan 10 <br />(MAP). 11 <br />Chair Dorosin said there is consensus to move forward on this pilot program. 12 <br /> 13 <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): 14 <br />The Manager recommends that the Board review the proposed guidelines for the new Orange 15 <br />County Local Rent Supplement Program (OC-LRSP) and provide comments in preparation for 16 <br />an upcoming regular meeting, authorizing the Manager to execute the necessary agreement(s) 17 <br />with the Orange County Housing Authority to administer the Program. 18 <br /> 19 <br /> 20 <br />3. Board of Commissioners - Boards and Commissions Appointment Process 21 <br />Discussion 22 <br /> 23 <br />BACKGROUND: 24 <br />Members of the Board of Commissioners have referenced various topics over the past year 25 <br />related to Boards and Commissions for Board discussion. Staff met over the summer break to 26 <br />review these topics and develop proposed recommendations/changes to be discussed further at 27 <br />this work session. Attachment A details identified issues to be discussed, and Attachment C 28 <br />depicts a proposed streamlined abstract format/membership roster/applicant interest list for 29 <br />Board appointments. 30 <br /> 31 <br />1. Discussion Decision Point: 32 <br />-To consider discussing the Adult Care Home CAC and the possibility of the 33 <br />reduction in number of positions (since there are sometimes many vacancies) 34 <br />and/or the option of merging this committee with the Nursing Home CAC. 35 <br />See Attachment B- emails from Autumn Cox, Ombudsman, Area Agency on 36 <br />Aging-TJCOG (attachment b). 37 <br /> 38 <br />Donna Baker said there were emails in the Commissioners’ packets from the 39 <br />Ombudsman, and suggested having her come to a meeting (annual presentations), and the 40 <br />Chair of the Board to participate in any proposed changes the Board of County Commissioners 41 <br />may want to propose. She said this Board wants to remain at its current size. 42 <br />Commissioner Rich said it is hard to fill larger boards, and suggested talking about this 43 <br />during the annual review. She said she would like to reduce this board, and other boards, 44 <br />where possible, as it is frustrating when boards cannot have a quorum due to lack of numbers. 45 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if merging these boards would work, and allow the 46 <br />same amount/type of work to be done. 47 <br />Commissioner Price said she attended the Adult Care Home CAC, which meets in the 48 <br />afternoon. She said this board was reviewing the various adult care homes. 49
