SUBJECT: NOMINATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL
COAST COMMISSION FOR SENIOR CITIZENS (CCCSC), AREA
AGENCY ON AGING
RECOMMENDATION
Nominate Hosia M. Towery to serve a two-year term, July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011, as the
City of San Luis Obispo's representative to the Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens
Area Agency on Aging Board of Directors.
DISCUSSION
The CCCSC is a non-profit, private corporation designated by the California Department of
Aging as the Area Agency on Aging for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. The 12-
member Board of Directors includes representatives from San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
County, the cities of San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria and Santa Barbara, and other community
agencies and organizations.
The Board of Directors governs the operations of all the programs sponsored by the Commission,
which include the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), Senior
Employment Program, Eldercare, Senior Connection and Area Agency on Aging. The Area
Agency on Aging component of this corporation allocates funds from the Older Americans and
Older Californians Acts to address needs for home and community based care for older persons
and functionally impaired adults.
The City Clerk's office conducted an open recruitment during the month of June. Mr. Towery
was initially appointed June 19, 2007, to serve on the Board for a two-year term as the City's
representative. His term expired June 30, 2009; however, he is eligible to serve an additional
two-year term as the City's representative. Because of Mr. Towery's experience on this agency, I
am pleased to recommend that the City Council nominate him and direct staff to forward his
application to the Board of Directors recommending his re-appointment.
READING FILE
A copy of Mr. Towery's application has been provided to the City Council under separate cover
and is available for public review in the City Clerk's office.
