RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

2. INDICATE that the attached Resolution No. 2019/593 supersedes in its entirety Resolution No. 2019/180, which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on June 11, 2019.

3. DIRECT staff to update, if necessary, the County website and the single Fair Political Practices Commission Form 806, which lists all the paid appointed positions on committees, boards, or commissions for members of the Board of Supervisors.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The recommendation results in no fiscal impact to the County.

BACKGROUND:

The terms of office of the CSAC Board of Directors seat and its Alternate will expire on November 30, 2019. The primary purpose of CSAC is to represent county government before the California Legislature, administrative agencies and the federal government. CSAC places a strong emphasis on educating the public about the value and need for county programs and services. CSAC’s long-term objective is to significantly improve the fiscal health of all California counties so they can adequately meet the demand for vital public programs and services. All 58 California counties are dues-paying members of the association. Under provisions of the CSAC Constitution, members of the Board of Directors and alternates are nominated by their respective boards of supervisors and appointed by the CSAC Executive Committee to a one-year terms of office commencing with the first day of the CSAC annual conference. This year, that will be on Tuesday, December 3, 2019. Any member of your Board of Supervisors is eligible for the directorship.

CSAC holds two annual meetings for its membership: the Spring Legislative Conference in Sacramento and the Annual Meeting in November. CSAC’s Board of Directors holds its first meeting of each year at the association’s annual conference. Thus, it is important that the Board of Supervisors send its newly appointed board representative to this first meeting. The new Board of Directors will meet at the annual conference, first by caucus (urban, suburban, and rural) to nominate CSAC officers and Executive Committee members, and again as a full Board to elect the 2020 Executive Committee and to conduct other business. Under the CSAC Constitution, Executive Committee members are elected from the membership of the Board of Directors.

Also included in the resolution are the appointments to the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority Board of Directors (CCCTA). The terms of office of the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority Board, also known as County Connection Board of Directors expired on May 1, 2019. Supervisor Candace Andersen is current Board of Supervisors representative and Supervisor Karen Mitchoff is the alternate on the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority Board of Directors. Reappointment of the Supervisors will ensure continued stability on the CCCTA bard.

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. As the CSAC appointments do not receive any compensation, no changes are required to the Form 806.
