RECOMMENDATION:

b. Consider the following options for each of Board of Supervisors Ad Hoc Committees:

SUMMARY:
In March 2022, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted policy language establishing the rotation of appointments to standing committees with three-year terms, sequentially by district, and continued confirmation of members to ad hoc committees and appointments to non-county entities at the beginning of each calendar year.

However, staff recently identified an error in the approved rotation schedule related to the Equal Opportunity Committee. The schedule requires approval by the Board as noted in the redlined Exhibit B.

Pursuant to Policy G-10, the County Administrative Officer (CAO) solicited input from each supervisor regarding service on various non-county entities to which the Board makes appointments.

The incoming Chair will provide recommendation for member of the Board of Supervisors’ appointments to those entities for the Board’s consideration.
