No fiscal impact to the County from this action.
Each year when the Board of Supervisors reorganizes, the incoming Chair reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on committee assignments. The annual review of committee assignments is governed by a policy (Attachment I) adopted by the Board in March 2000. Transmitted herewith are my recommendations, as Board Chair, for 2022. These recommendations (Attachment II, sorted by committee type and, Attachment III, sorted alphabetically) seek to provide policy oversight for all major County functional areas, balance the workload of the Supervisors, and consider some of the extracurricular responsibilities and appointments of the Supervisors on regional and other bodies.
I am also recommending that seat terms for appointments for which the term was either unspecified by the body or left to the discretion of the Board of Supervisors be designated as "Unspecified" and reviewed at the discretion of the Board Chair.
FPPC Form 806
In April 2012, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) adopted Regulation 18705.5, which permits a Supervisor to vote on his/her own appointment to a body or board paying a salary or stipend for service if all of the following conditions are met: 1.the appointment is to a committee, board, or commission of a public agency, a special district, a joint powers agency or authority, or a metropolitan planning organization; and
-
State law, a local ordinance, or a joint powers agreement requires the Board to appoint; and
-
the Board adopts and posts on its website, a list of each appointed position for which compensation is paid, the salary or stipend for the position, the name of the appointee, the name of the alternate, if any, and the term of the appointment.
Form 806 is used to report additional compensation that officials receive when appointing themselves to positions on committees, boards, or commissions of a public agency, special district, and joint powers agency or authority. Each agency must post on its
website a single Form 806, listing all of the paid appointed positions. When there is a change in compensation or a new appointment, the Form 806 is updated to reflect the change. The form must be updated promptly as changes occur. Staff of the County Administrators Office has prepared the Form 806 and has posted it to the County’s website. Staff will update the form after the Board of Supervisors acts to adopt the Master List of Board Member Committee Assignments for 2022.
Unless the Board of Supervisors acts to adopt a Master List of appointments to committees, special county committees, and regional boards/committees/commissions, there is no official roster of Board member appointments to these bodies.
The Board amended Resolution No. 2022/6 committee assignments: On the North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Committee, the alternate position will be filled by Tania Pulido (instead of Robert Rogers) and on the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority, Supervisor Gioia will serve as primary (instead of Supervisor Mitchoff).
ADOPTED the recommendations with the amended Resolution No. 2022/6.
