TITLE
Recommendation to respectfully request City Council to adopt resolution recognizing in-home care providers' "National Family Caregivers Month."
DISCUSSION
More than 65 million people in the United States provide some form of in-home care to a relative. In-Home Supportive Services (I.H.S.S.) providers provide vital care to those in need and save taxpayers millions of dollars each year. While the hard work of in-home caregivers often goes unnoticed, the number of family and non-family members requiring in-home care is expected to double in the next 30 years.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
COUNCILMEMBER STEVEN NEAL

COUNCILWOMAN GERRIE SCHIPSKE
