RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Y'Anad Burrell to the At-Large 1 seat and APPOINT Cindy McCann to the Alternate Seat on the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County for a term ending on June 30, 2019, as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact from these appointments.

BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors established the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5) in December 1994 to advise the Board in matters and issues relevant to arts and culture and to promote arts and culture as a vital element in the quality of life for all of the citizens of the County. The Commission consists of eight members: two At Large members, one member nominated by each Supervisorial District and one alternate. Terms are for four years.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 12, 2015 the Family and Human Services Committee considered three candidates for the two vacant positions. The Committee nominated Y'Anad Burrell and Pamela McCauley to forward to the Board of Supervisors with their recommendation for appointment. Subsequent to the Family and Human Services Committee meeting, Pamela McCauley informed the AC5 staff person that she could not dedicate sufficient time to the Commission and requested that her name be withdrawn. Therefore, we are requesting that Cindy McCann be appointed to the Alternate seat.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these appointments are not made there will be vacancies on the Commission that may impact their ability to meet due to a lack of a quorum.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
