RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignation of Cindy McCann, DECLARE a vacancy in the Alternate seat on the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Arts and Culture Commission (AC5) 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Commissioner McCann was appointed to the Alternative Seat for the term of October 20, 2015 to June 30, 2019. She has missed six of the seven AC5 scheduled meetings in 2017. Her absence impacts the Commission's ability to meet quorum rules and conduct meetings as scheduled. The AC5 Chairperson made several attempts to contact Commissioner McCann via telephone and email, with no response. AC5 is requesting the Board of Supervisors to resign Commissioner McCann and vacate the Alternate seat so that a new Commissioner can be appointed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Arts and Culture Commission may lack the number of Commissioners required to meet quorum rules and conduct meetings.
