SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On April 30, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 19-127, which established the Big Sur Byway Organization (Master Resolution). The Organization is composed of 9 members or “representatives” consisting of: 5 Resident Representatives, 1 Business Representative, and 3 Public Agency Representatives (1 each from: U.S. Forest Service; California Department of Parks and Recreation; California Department of Transportation). A copy of the Master Resolution and its accompanying Board Report is enclosed as Attachment A.
Resolution No. 19-127 further provided for the nomination of the Resident Representatives by the 5th District Supervisor, and appointment by a majority of the full Board. While the intent was to provide for the same process for the Business and Public Agency Representatives, it was not explicit in the resolution. This amendment would provide for the appointment of all representatives to the Big Sur Byway Organization in a similar manner - nominated by the 5th District Supervisor and appointed by a majority of the Board. A proposed resolution is enclosed as Attachment B. The District 5 Supervisor has provided nominations for some of those positions on the Big Sur Byway Organization; copies of the nominations are enclosed as Attachment C.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
This amendment was developed in coordination between County Counsel and RMA. District 5 provided the nominations for the Board to consider.
FINANCING:
The Big Sur Byway Organization is staffed by Caltrans so there is no impact on the County General Fund.
Funding for staff time associated with the services to be provided by the Agency to the County will come from fees collected by the RMA so there will be no impact to the current fiscal year budget. Budgets and fees for FY 2019/20 and beyond will account for any fiscal changes.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
These actions will provide for the more efficient provision of development related services to the residents of the County, thus contributing to economic development, and helping to ensure proper health and safety, and infrastructure for such development.
