RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors nominate one member of the Board of Supervisors to serve on the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Board of Directors, and one member of the Board of Supervisors to serve as alternate, for a one-year term of office beginning on November 29, 2021.
SUMMARY & DISCUSSION:
Under the provisions of the CSAC Constitution, members of the Board of Directors and alternates are nominated by their respective boards of supervisors and appointed by the CSAC Executive Committee to one-year terms of office commencing with the first day of the CSAC Annual Conference. The 2021 CSAC Annual Conference will begin on November 29, 2021. Any member of the Board of Supervisors is eligible to serve on the CSAC Board of Directors. Once the Board has made these nominations, the Clerk of the Board will notify CSAC as appropriate.
Monterey County is currently represented on the CSAC Board of Directors by Supervisor Alejo, with Supervisor Askew serving as alternate.
The new Board of Directors will meet during the annual conference, first by caucus (urban, suburban, and rural) to nominate CSAC Officers and Executive Committee members, and again as a full Board to elect the 2021-2022 Executive Committee and to conduct other Association business. Please note that under the CSAC Constitution, Executive Committee members are elected from the membership of the Board of Directors.
