REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />AUGUST 1, 2017 <br />TITLE: <br />RECOMMENDS SUPPORT FOR <br />CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 4 (MENDOZA) <br />REGARDING THE CALOPTIMA BOARD <br />COMPOSITION / <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 18' Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />On July 19, 2017, the Legislative Affairs, Ethics and Transparency Committee voted for a support <br />position for California Senate Bill 4 authored by Senator Mendoza. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The intent of California Senate Bill 4 (Mendoza) is to provide stability to the CalOptima Board <br />structure. There have been three modifications to the structure since 2011. The bill would codify <br />the existing structure of the CalOptima Board and stipulate that a 2/3 vote of the Board of <br />Supervisors is required to remove a member. Additionally, the bill is anticipated to be amended to <br />add a five-year sunset, allow for an increase in the number of public members, and add a <br />statement of purpose for CalOptima board members. <br />While it is difficult to anticipate the impact that a board structure change could have on Santa <br />Ana, SB4 would maintain the existing board structure that is comprised of two supervisors and <br />seven specified health professionals and members of the public, whereas recent proposal from <br />the Board of Supervisors would add the remaining three Supervisors to the CalOptima board. <br />During the Council Committee meeting, comment on the potential for additional seats to the <br />CalOptima board was discussed. The City Council may support the Council Committee's <br />recommended position or take an alternate position. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. <br />Exhibit 1: California Senate Bill No. 4 <br />65E-1 <br />
