Terms of Office. It is recommended that each person appointed to the co~nunity advisory committee serve an initial term of one year beginning with the date of appointment. This pro- vision would allow a "staggered" term effect as vacancies occur and replacements made. Any person reappointed to a second or subsequent term in the same county should serve a __t,~r~e year term. By law, nominations of committee members can be solicited from administrators of the domiciliary homes in the county. We also encourage county commissioners to _ seek nominations from their local council on aging and from their Area Agency on Aging. 2. Committee Size. The number of persons serving on a committee should vary according to the number of homes in the county as well as the number of persons residing in a home. It is recom- mended that at least three persons serve each home in the county with 50 or less residents. For those homes with more than 50 residents there should be a~_ftve-~e~Dber qo_qunittee to serve that homm. In addition, no three-member committee or sub-committee should serve more than ten (10) homes; and any five-member com~lttee serving the larger homes should serve no more than five (5) homes. Sub-committees should be estab- lished in counties with more than te~ (10) homes with resident population under fifty, and in counties with more than five homes with a resident population of more than fifty. 3. Committee Make-up. Special care should be taken to see that persons with the interest, the time, and the ability to learn are selected to serve on the committee. Personal characteristics
