Meeting Minutes:
Nov 2007, Dec 2007 (No Meeting), Jan 2008
May 2008Committee Purposes: Brief Description
Administrative Assessment Committee (AdAC)
The Administrative Assessment Committee was established to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the administrative mechanisms for rapidly disbursing CARE Act funds to the areas of greatest need within the eligible metropolitan area (EMA). The AdAC will conduct an annual assessment of the Fiscal/Administrative mechanisms with the intent of providing feedback and recommendations to the Council and to the Fiscal/Administrative Agent to continually improve such administrative policies and procedures.
2008 AdAC MEETING MINUTES:
Affected Communities Committee (ACC)
The Affected Communities Committee meets monthly and was formed at the behest of those infected and affected by HIV, in order to provide a forum in which issues pertinent to those directly impacted could be addressed. The ACC is the formal structure within the Council; additionally, the ACC serves as the convening body for a consumer caucus. The caucus is a larger, more informal body designed to provide opportunities for anyone affected to be involved and present ideas and suggestions. ACC members may be from the general public, as well as from the Council, but must be infected or impacted by the disease.
2008 ACC MEETING MINUTES:
January, February, March, April (No Meeting),
May, June, July (No Meeting)Executive Committee (Exec)
The Executive Committee is the only standing committee specified in the by laws of the HIV Health Services Planning Council (Council). The purpose of the Executive Committee is to “act for the Council between meetings under parameters set by the Council and to provide guidance for the Council in fulfilling its responsibilities and reaching its goals.” (Council Bylaws, as amended October 1998). The functions of the Executive Committee are also described in the bylaws. The chairs of all other standing committees are members of the Executive Committee. Other committee members are Council members appointed to represent specific required categories (such as Placer and El Dorado counties).
2008 EXEC MEETING MINUTES:
January, February, March, April,
May, June, JulyGovernance Committee (Gov)
The Governance Committee is a committee formed by the Council to address issues of policy, procedure and bylaws modification. Originally formed to recommend a governance structure to the Council, it now addresses questions central to how the Council functions. Some examples include development of conflict of interest policies, committee operation policies and procedures, member absence policies, as well as changes to bylaws as they are needed. Governance Committee work is generally reviewed in various settings forwarded to the full Council for approval and implementation. Members are typically council members with interest in the topics.
2008 GOV MEETING MINUTES:
Needs Assessment Committee (NAC)
This standing committee is charged with re-evaluating and updating Needs Assessment for the EMA. Seeking data, information and opinion from a variety of sources, NAC identifies the service categories that are most needed by people with HIV infection throughout the region. Recommendations are made to the Council and the PAC, which help to focus the development of priorities and allocations for the upcoming funding period. Members are recruited to reflect specific areas of expertise (such as technology and research), as well as consumers and key service category providers.
2008 NAC MEETING MINUTES:
January, February, March, April (No Meeting),
May, June, July (No Meeting)Priorities and Allocations Committee (PAC)
This committee performs some of the most vital work for the Council. The primary responsibilities of the PAC are to review information, data and the updated Needs Assessment, in order to establish funding priorities and service allocations for the upcoming fiscal year. The work of the committee, when accepted by the Council, serves as the directive for issuance of proposal requests and determination of contractors to provide services throughout the EMA, tasks that are competed by the Fiscal Agent. Membership on PAC must be balanced to represent consumers, providers, government agencies and other diversity factors specified within PAC and general committee policies.
2008 PAC MEETING MINUTES:
January, February (No Meeting), March (No Meeting),
April, May, June
Quality Advisory Committee (QAC)The Quality Advisory Committee develops quality assurance plans and standards to be utilized by providers when delivering services paid for through Ryan White funds. Such standards may include policies, procedures, guidelines, and other information pertinent to the effectiveness and efficiency in which consumers are treated and Ryan White funding is spent. To ensure that standards are appropriate for all stakeholders, members are drawn from consumers and providers of Ryan White services, as well as others interested in the delivery of health and human services.
2008 QAC MEETING MINUTES:
January, February, March, April,
May, June, July (No Meeting)
