RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT the attached schedule of Board of Supervisors meetings for 2010, including the cancellation of those meetings at which it is anticipated that there will not be a quorum of Board members present, as well as noting the following special events that have been scheduled: the Board’s Annual Reorganization on January 12, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration on January 19, and the Cesar Chavez Commemorative Celebration on April 6.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

Each year, the Board adopts a meeting schedule showing all regular meetings and any dates on which meetings must be canceled in anticipation that a quorum of the Board will not be present. The meetings planned for cancellation generally include those Tuesdays that fall in a week with a County holiday, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in March, June, July, and November in which the annual policy and legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) are held:

Conference Dates Location
NACo Legislative Conference March 6-10 Washington, D.C.
NACo Annual Conference July 16-20 Reno, NV
CSAC Legislative Conference June 2-3 Sacramento, CA
CSAC Annual Meeting Nov 15-19 Riverside County, CA

We are recommending that the following three additional meetings be canceled in order to make the best use of Board member and staff resources during periods of lighter calendars: April 13, and August 17 and 24.

The 2010 meeting schedule, attached, has been prepared and is recommended for the Board's adoption. The schedule provides for 35 regular meetings and is coordinated with the Housing Authority Board of Commissioner meetings.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

CLERK'S ADDENDUM

The Board concurred that additional input on preferred schedules to the County Administrator's Office was desirable. The Board took no action; a revised schedule will return on the November 10, 2009 consent calendar.
