Our records show that your current representative to the Assembly is Phyllis Turtle. If you would like to have your current delegate continue, please reconfirm the appointment in writing NO LATER THAN AUGUST 16, 1982. The Bylaws also provide for an alternate delegate to attend'Assembly meetings and vote in the absence of your appointee. Our records indicate that Bonnie Gillman has been appointed as your alternate delegate. Please let us know if this is not correct. An Assembly delegate acts as the liaison between your city council and OCHPC, informing each body of the issues and concerns of the other. Delegates meet four times a year - once to elect our Board of Directors and the rest to participate in programs dealing with community health .issues. The OCHPC is the agency which oversees projected medical needs of Orange County residents, as well as the allocation of health care resources to meet those needs. As you may know, the Assembly is a body of almost 150 participants, representing every city of Orange County, the Southern California Association of Governments, the League of California Cities, the Board of Supervisors, voluntary health agencies, professional healtk associations, and community organizations such as the United Way. We are enclosing a summary of the major accomplishments and issues addressed by the Council during the past two years, a brief description of the agency, anda li~ting .. of OCHPC publications.
