BACKGROUND:
The Public Authority Advisory Committee was established to meet and confer with the Public Authority about those aspects of the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program that relate to home care providers. The Advisory Committee will focus primarily on issues relating to IHSS provider training and the maintenance of the IHSS Provider Registry. On July 21, 2015, Ordinance No. 4742 amended modification of the number and qualifications of the Public Authority Advisory Committee’s five members; three (3) of whom are current or past users of personal assistance services paid for through public or private funds or current or past recipients of In-Home Supportive Services.
The remaining two (2) members are to be appointed based on their interest in public service and experience and/or educational background relevant to the functions of the Public Authority.
DISCUSSION:
Raymond Juballa, the Innovation Center Manager at Menlo College, is being recommended for appointment as a member representing one of the two (2) members described in the background section above based on his interest, experience and background qualifications, a seat formerly held by Dolores Clemente who resigned in 2022.
Raymond Juballa brings a wealth of expertise in innovation, strategic planning, and community engagement to the Public Authority Advisory Committee. As the Innovation Center Manager at Menlo College, he has launched impactful programs such as the Socratic Salon speaker series and knowledge certification systems, demonstrating his ability to create inclusive and forward-thinking initiatives. His service on boards and committees further highlights his dedication to the community, including his role as Secretary/Treasurer of the San Mateo County Exposition and Fair Association Board (Event Center), where he oversees key operational decisions and event management, and his contributions to improved safety and accessibility as a member of Atherton’s Transportation, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Safety Committee.
Beyond his professional achievements, Raymond’s commitment to public service is evident in his long-standing volunteer work with 4-H, mentoring youth and supporting events like county Presentation Day. As a CalABLE ambassador, he advocates for accessibility, and during his tenure as Student Body President at Menlo College, he led governance reforms and organized campus-wide initiatives. With advanced skills in CAD software, 3D printing, and data analytics, as well as an MS in Information Systems from Menlo College, Raymond combines technical expertise with leadership to address complex challenges. His goal is to enhance the quality of life for San Mateo County residents through innovative policies and programs.
