RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Joan M. D'Onofrio to the At Large 3 seat and Lanita L. Mims to the At Large 4 seat on the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5), as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Arts and Culture Commission 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; to increase communications and understanding between all citizens through art. Most importantly, the Commission will promote arts and culture as a vital element in the quality of life for all of the citizens of Contra Costa County. AC5 is composed of one representative from each of the five supervisorial districts, four at-large representatives, and one alternate, for a total of ten seats. Appointments are for a four-year period with terms expiring on June 30 of alternating odd numbered years.

There are currently three vacant seats on AC5: two At-Large, and one Alternate. At their October meeting, AC5 voted to nominate Joan M. D'Onofrio to At-Large seat 3 and Lanita L. Mims to At-Large seat 4, with terms expiring June 30, 2021. Including these two new appointments, at least one AC5 commissioner would reside in each of the County's five districts. At the October 22, 2018 Family and Human Services Committee, these appointment recommendations were approved.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seats will remain vacant, AC5 will not be able to benefit from the contributions of the two new members, and it will be harder to meet quorum to conduct business.
