Executive Summary:
This agenda item recommends adoption of a resolution reappointing Kathryn Powell, Chief Executive Officer of the Petaluma Health Center, as Sonoma County’s Clinic Representative of the Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission. Per Sonoma County Code, Chapter 34 - County Organized Health System, one of the four Sonoma County representatives on the Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission is to be a Clinic Representative.
Discussion:
Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission is a multi-county commission that provides for a managed healthcare plan for Medi-Cal recipients. Implementation of a county organized health system is authorized by Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14087.54. In September 2009 the Board of Supervisors of Sonoma County adopted an ordinance adding Chapter 34 to the Sonoma County Code, authorizing the County to join the Commission.
The Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission is comprised of representatives from Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Lassen, Modoc, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sonoma, Trinity, and Yolo counties and provides coverage to over 540,000 Medi-Cal enrollees, including over 108,000 current Medi-Cal enrollees in Sonoma County.
The number of per-county Commission member seats is based upon the number of Medi-Cal beneficiaries within each county. There are currently 36 Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission members with per-county seats as follows: Del Norte (1), Humboldt (3), Lake (2), Lassen (1), Modoc (1), Marin (3), Mendocino (3), Napa (3), Solano (4), Shasta (4), Siskiyou (2), Sonoma (4), Trinity (1), and Yolo (4).
Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission bylaws and Chapter 34 of the Sonoma County Code permit members to serve multiple terms. In addition, members are allowed to retain their Commission seat upon conclusion of their term until a successor member has been selected. The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors is responsible for appointing members to the Commission based on the selection process and criteria specified in Chapter 34. The term of office is four years.
The Department of Health Services recommends reappointing Kathryn Powell to the Partnership HealthPlan of California Board of Commissioners for a four-year term effective May 22, 2020. Kathryn has been on the Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission since May 22, 2012. She has proven to be valuable, collaborative, and a constructive partner and it is in the best interest of the County to keep her on the Partnership HealthPlan of California Board of Commissioners for another term.
