RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/2 to amend policies for making appointments to independent bodies not governed by the Board of Supervisors, and to supersede Resolution No. 2011/498.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No direct fiscal impact is associated with this action.

BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/498, to update the policy governing procedures for making appointments to independent bodies not governed by the Board of Supervisors. Resolution Nos. 2011/498 and its companion 2011/497 superseded Resolution No. 2002/377.  
  






BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Along with Resolution No. 2011/497, these resolutions provide guidance for various key policies for advisory and independent bodies, including the interview and appointments process. In contrast to the policies that apply to advisory bodies governed by the Board of Supervisors, the Board applied a narrower set of policies to the independent bodies covered in Resolution No. 2011/498, and the updated Resolution No. 2020/2.
  
Since adoption more than eight years ago, there have been changes in County policy that have affected lists of applicable bodies in both Resolution No. 2011/498, and in a variety of County policies that pertain to the appointments process to these bodies.  
  
Recommended Changes to the Resolution for Independent Bodies include:  
  
1. List of Applicable Advisory Bodies: The list of applicable bodies has been changed to reflect bodies that have been newly created and discontinued since the adoption of Resolution No. 2011/498.  
2. Online Maddy Book Posting: The Board Appointive List or "Maddy Book" (in reference to the original sponsoring Senator, Kenneth L. Maddy) will be posted online, as provided for in California's Local Government Omnibus Act of 2017, in addition to a public viewing copy on display at the Clerk of the Board's office.  
3. At-Large Appointments Process: A Board Standing Committee will generally conduct interviews for At-Large appointments to independent decision making bodies and advisory committees to independent bodies, or may delegate this activity to the bodies, which will then make nominations to a Board Standing Committee. Board Standing Committees will continue to provide all recommendations for Board appointments to At-Large seats to these bodies.  
  
On October 21, 2019, the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) approved changes to the resolution for full consideration by the Board of Supervisors. Resolution No. 2020/1 supersedes Resolution No. 2011/497 in its entirety.  
  
This Resolution addresses the proposed policy governing appointments to, formation of, and requirements for, boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. On October 21, 2019, the IOC approved the changes to Resolution No. 2011/498 in its entirety, and recommended that the updated resolution (Resolution No. 2020/2) be adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Additional legislative history and justification can be found in the IOC Subcommittee Report published October 21, 2019. Attached to this action, and included as Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2020/2, is a list of applicable independent bodies, and a redline demonstrating the changes made to Resolution No. 2011/498 by Resolution No. 2020/2.
