§ 2.70.030. Membership of commission.

A.

The Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) shall consist of members to be appointed by each county's Board of Supervisors. Two members will be appointed by the Napa County Board of Supervisors pursuant to this section. The membership is based upon the following formula:

1.

One commissioner for zero to twenty-five thousand (0 to 25,000) Medi-Cal beneficiaries receiving healthcare coverage through PHC;

2.

One additional commissioner for twenty-five thousand and one to forty thousand (25,001 to 40,000) county Medi-Cal beneficiaries receiving healthcare coverage through PHC;

3.

One additional commissioner for forty thousand and one to fifty-five thousand (40,001 to 55,000) county Medi-Cal beneficiaries receiving healthcare coverage through PHC; and

4.

One additional commissioner for over fifty-five thousand (over 55,000) county Medi-Cal beneficiaries receiving healthcare coverage through PHC.

The total number of members may thus change from time to time.
