RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve the revised bylaws for the Contra Costa Mental Health Commission as recommended by the Internal Operations Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact from approving the revised bylaws.

BACKGROUND:

The 2010 Mental Health Commission (MHC) determined that their current bylaws were in need of review and possible revisions. A sub-committee of the Commission was created to review and make recommendation to the full MHC. The sub-committees recommendations were reviewed by County Counsel who advised on areas that were outside the County norm and provided recommendations for further changes.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 13, 2010 the MHC reviewed the final recommendations for changes to the by-laws and voted 6 Ayes, 0 Nays and 1 Abstention to approve the version being presented.

At the June 22, 2010 meeting the Board of Supervisors approved a recommendation to refer to the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) a review of the proposed by-law changes prior to them being submitted to the Board of Supervisors for approval.

On December 6, 2010 the Internal Operations Committee reviewed the proposed revisions in detail. Staff highlighted each major change in the bylaws and indicated points of concern that had been raised by the public, County Counsel, or the County Administrator's office. Public comment was provided. The Internal Operations Committee requested changes to the bylaws for clarification and streamlining purposes

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The bylaws will not be revised per the IOC's recommendation.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
