I am writing due to recent issues with the County’s supportive staff for IHSS AC. In the past staff was always extremely helpful and routinely went beyond and above expectations. One thing that could alway be counted on is the ability to get the agenda and minutes out a little early so members had time to review everything (if only members actually took the time to actually review the material).
As you are probably aware, I asked Diana Kenderian to take over responsibility of working with the staff on approving the agenda since my responsibilities as well as educational pursuits started causing delays in approving the agenda. Until last month (July) I can't recall the committee ever needing to cancel a meeting due to the agenda not being posted withing the manditory 72 hours prior to the meeting. Julie Watts apologized last month saying that she had been out. I didn't think twice about it as we all have personal issues. That said, we are now looking at a second consecutive canceled meeting due to the agenda not being posted. This time, not even the required draft was sent for Diana's approval. Since Diana uses AOL, I routinely have my e-mail bounced back. Due to issues with Diana calling me all the time with personal issues in the past, I had to stop contact via phone. This makes communication more challenging as you might imagine. …show more content…

Either Julie has personal issues that prevent here from doing her job, she is overburdened with other work which doesn't allow her time to assist, or she lacks the interest and/or enthusiasm needed to work with the committee. I think it's best for you to find out as this could be of a personal
