35. RYAN WHITE PART A PLANNING COUNCIL BYLAWS REVISION Approve an amendment to the Bylaws of the Phoenix EMA Ryan White Part A Planning Council (Planning Council), Section 12, Conflict of Interest. 1. On pages 5 & 6, strike the sentence: “Implementation. The Council allows redundant institutional representation by the same institutional member if necessary to ensure Parts A, B,C, and F representation in the EMA in accordance with HRSA standards. 2. The following sentence is unchanged as follows: “A representative may represent more than one Part (including Part F) if qualified to provide representation in accordance with HRSA standards.” 3. After the sentence in 2. above, add the following sentence: “In addition, the Council provides individuals (and their alternates) who represent Parts B, C, D, and F with full Council membership irrespective of whether they might otherwise qualify for Service Provider membership.” The purpose of this amendment is to clarify language concerning Federally Mandated Representation as it concerns full representation within Council membership with all Parts of the Act: A, B, C, D and F. In compliance with HRSA regulations, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appointed the Ryan White Part A Planning Council to set priorities and determine resource allocations for services funded by the federal Ryan White legislation. The original Planning Council drafted Bylaws to govern their activities, which were approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 5, 1996. The current Planning Council has drafted minor revisions to these Bylaws to clarify member representation. (C-39-14-022-6-00)
