The Commission shall be comprised of Commissioners appointed by the Board of Supervisors of each member county.

(1) 0 – 45,000 Medi-Cal beneficiaries within the county equals one (1) Commission seat.

(2) 45,001 – 60,000 Medi-Cal beneficiaries within the county equals two (2) Commission seats.

(3) 60,001+ Medi-Cal beneficiaries within the county equals three (3) Commission seats.

The members appointed by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors shall serve at the pleasure of the board and shall be selected as follows:

(1) One (1) member shall be the Director of Health and Human Services or Director’s designee.

(2) Additional members will be nominated by local health care providers that serve Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

The Director of Health and Human Services will receive and evaluate nominations and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors acknowledges that the Commission encourages member counties to consider selecting Commissioners from the following settings: safety net providers including providers at federally qualified health centers, behavioral health providers, regional center providers, local education authorities, dental providers, Indian Health Service facility providers, and hospital providers with special efforts to select candidates, as opportunity allows, who reflect the diversity of the community and regions including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, language, and disability status.
