Committee and Rescind Resolution 2021-035
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution amending the Enabling Resolution of the Senior Service Committee and
rescind Resolution 2021-035.
BACKGROUND:
On March 2, 2021, the Town Council held a joint session with the Community Health and Senior
Service Commission (CHSSC) to hear the Commission’s goals for the coming year. The Council
indicated its strong interest in the work of the Commission in light of the inclusion of senior
services as a new Council Strategic Priority for FY 2021-2023.
Councilmembers requested that the Commission review the current senior service provision in
Town and help identify any gaps that exist in senior services. On June 15, 2021, the Town
Council received the Community Health and Senior Service Commission’s (CHSSC) assessment
report on senior service provision in Los Gatos. At the conclusion of the discussion, Council
provided direction to staff to return to Council with recommendations for establishing a Senior
Service Committee.
On August 3, 2021, the Town Council adopted a Resolution 2021-035 establishing a Senior
Service Committee (Attachment 1). While Council’s original motion included the entirety of the
CHSSC, staff at the time recommended two members from the Commission, the Chair and the
Youth Commissioner.

DISCUSSION:
On September 20, 2022, the Town Council received a staff report (Attachment 2) seeking
additional clarity regarding the roles and responsibilities of the Senior Service Committee and
the Community Health and Senior Service Commission. The staff report provided several
options for updated governance structures and at the conclusion of the item the Town Council
adopted Option 2. Option 2 provides that all members of the CHSSC be included as Committee
members on the Senior Service Committee as originally envisioned. An amendment to the
motion also directed that when the Committee has completed their roadmap report the
Council will reevaluate the structure again.
In addition, staff is taking this opportunity to make an administrative update and delete
individual names referenced for organizations in the event individuals change while the
Committee is still in existence.

Resolution reflecting the Council action.
