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 in this board order and its attachments are the Chair's recommendation for 2023. 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.
Seat terms for appointments for which the term was either unspecified by the body or left to the discretion of the Board of Supervisors are recommended to be designated as "Unspecified" and reviewed at the discretion of the Board Chair.
The following changes to the committee structure are recommended:
1. The Childhood Asthma Ad Hoc Committee is being dissolved since the issue and subject matter will be covered by other standing committees.
2. A new Board standing committee, the Los Medanos Healthcare Operations Committee, is being established. This committee will address issues associated with the former Los Medanos Healthcare District, including grant funding. This is similar practice to the formation of the West Contra Costa Healthcare District Finance Committee.
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
2. State law, a local ordinance, or a joint powers agreement requires the Board to appoint; and
3. 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 Administrator's 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 2023.
