On August 11, 2009 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2009/398 which established the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) and eliminated the Advisory Committee for County Service Area R-7A effective December 31, 2009. The MAC for Alamo was established to provide a focused voice to advise the District 3 Supervisor on issues and concerns related to services provided by the County or other local agencies located within its boundary, including parks, recreation and landscaping. The advisory functions currently being provided by the County Service Area R-7A Advisory Committee are to be assumed by the Alamo MAC. On October 20, 2009 the Board of Supervisors appointed the members of the Alamo MAC. Commencing January 1, 2010, the Alamo MAC will perform those functions of the JPA that were previously assigned to the CSA R-7A Advisory Committee.
The Joint Powers Agreement between Contra Costa County and the Town of Danville must be modified to assign the advisory functions currently provided by CSA R-7A to the Alamo MAC (see revised Amendment to JPA Agreement attached). The JPA refers to Magee Park which is commonly referred to and known as Hap Magee Park.
The existing Joint Powers Agreement with Town of Danville was established May 14, 1987. At the time of the establishment of this agreement, the Advisory Committee for CSA R-7A performed the advisory functions required by the Agreement. This amendment changes references to the Advisory Committee for County Service Area R-7A to the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council, in accordance with the Board of Supervisor’s resolution on August 11, 2009 which established the Alamo MAC to perform functions including those assigned by this Joint Powers Agreement for park maintenance and operations of Hap Magee Park. Once this resolution is approved by the Board of Supervisors, the Alamo MAC will be empowered to have representatives appointed to the Magee Ranch Joint Planning & Operations Committee, effective January 1, 2010.
Negative action will result in the delay for the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council to perform functions previously in the purview of the Advisory Committee for County Service Area R-7A which will be disbanded effective December 31, 2009.
