RECOMMENDATION(S):

RATIFY and AUTHORIZE the continuation of the Contra Costa County Library Commission for the period January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Library Commission serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Supervisors and the County Librarian, provides a forum for the community to provide input concerning Library operations, and recommends proposals to the Board of Supervisors and the County Librarian that may improve the Library.  
  






BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Commission is composed of 24 members: 18 city representatives, to be appointed by each City (Town) Council except Richmond; 5 representatives of the County, one appointed by each member of the Board of Supervisors; and one member representing the Contra Costa Central Labor Council. All Board of Supervisors' district nominees are subject to approval by the Board. Other representatives are appointed and approved by their community's local government body.  
  
Since the Board's last reauthorization of the Library Commission for three years through December 31, 2019, the Commission has successfully fulfilled its goals. Details of the Library Commission's activities since 2017 can be found in the attached Triennial Review Survey.  
  
The Internal Operations Committee is scheduled to review the triennial advisory body review survey results and staff recommendations beginning in February, 2021. The triennial review survey will include a recommendation from the County Librarian to reauthorize the Library Commission. The Internal Operations Committee is expected to make its recommendation to the Board in spring 2021. Today's recommendation bridges the period between the 2017 authorization, which expired January 1, 2020, and the completion of the next triennial review.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If Library Commission is not reauthorized, cities and various agencies will not be represented and the Library will no longer benefit from their advice.
