Information

Referral History:

On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at-large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee. Review of appointments to Countywide and At-Large seats on the Council on Homelessness are assigned to the FHS Committee.

Referral Update:

This item was continued from the Special Meeting on October 29, 2020 due to a production error in the application documents. Those application documents were reproduced by staff and are attached for the committee and public's review.

Please see the attached memo from the Council on Homelessness, which details their request to fill the 12 vacancies on the 17-member council. All applications that were considered are also attached for the Committee's review.
