RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT and APPROVE amended Sustainability Commission Bylaws.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On November 15, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the creation of the Sustainability Commission to advise the Board and County staff on implementation of the County’s Climate Action Plan. Their Bylaws were approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 26, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 7, 2019, the Sustainability Committee directed that should a vacant seat on the Sustainability Commission not be filled by the date the term of service expires, the term of service shall extend 60 days or until an appointment is made to the vacant seat, whichever comes first. As a result of this direction, the Bylaws were amended by the Sustainability Commission on August 26, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sustainability Commission may have challenges meeting quorum if a vacancy is not able to be filled before the term expires.
