Direct MXCAB staff to immediately provide to MXCAB all written correspondence between County staff and Further The Work that is related to the MXCAB Needs Assessment report or the related contract. Request that the Board of Supervisors direct the CAO to refrain from harassing or retaliating against Further The Work and rescind its threat to claim breach of contract against Further The Work. Request speaking time (beyond public comment) for a MXCAB representative during the presentation about MXCAB to the Board of Supervisors on Nov. 8 (or whatever date is chosen). Present the Board of Supervisors, in advance of the Nov. 8 MXCAB discussion, with MXCAB’s recommendations for revising MXCAB’s bylaws to ensure clarity of roles, responsibilities, and authority. Request that County staff provide updates on Measure X expenditures and unallocated funds in a consistent and timely way. Consider alternatives for staffing MXCAB in the event that the County Administrator’s Office is unable to uphold their responsibilities.
