RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignation of Joan D'Onofrio, DECLARE a vacancy in the At-Large 3 seat on the Arts & Culture Commission for a term ending June 30, 2025, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy, as recommended by the County Administrator.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Arts and Culture Commission advises the Board of Supervisors in matters and issues relevant to arts and culture to: advance the arts in a way that promotes communication, education, appreciation and collaboration throughout Contra Costa County; to preserve, celebrate and share the arts and culture of the many diverse ethnic groups who live in Contra Costa County; to create partnerships with business and government; and to increase communications and understanding between all citizens through art. Most importantly, the Commission promotes arts and culture as a vital element of the quality of life for all of the citizens of Contra Costa County. Commissioner Joan D'Onofrio was appointed to the Arts and Culture Commission by the Board of Supervisors on November 6, 2018. Commissioner D'Onofrio submitted her letter of resignation on January 4, 2022. Given the recent resignations of several commissioners, the County Administrator's Office will seek directions from the Internal Operations Committee regarding the next step for the Arts and Culture Commission.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the resignation will not be accepted.
