RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE vacant the Unincorporated North Richmond Seat of the North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council held by Maricela Navarro and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy, as recommended by Supervisor Gioia.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

Established on December 14, 1999 by Resolution No. 99/660, the North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council is a seven member advisory body for the unincorporated areas of the North Richmond community.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council shall advise the Board on:

1.Services which are or may be provided to the North Richmond Community by the County or other local governmental agencies. Such services include, but are not limited to, public health, safety, welfare, public works and planning.

2.The feasibility of organizing the existing special districts serving the North Richmond community in order to more efficiently provide public services such as, but not limited to, water, sewer, fire, parks and recreation, and infrastructure improvements.


The North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council may:

1.Represent the North Richmond community before the Local Agency Formation Commission on proposed boundary changes affecting the community.

2.Represent the North Richmond community before the County Planning Commission(s) and the Zoning Administrator on land use and other planning matters affecting the community. In this regard, the Council shall cooperate with other planning advisory bodies in the North Richmond County area in order to avoid duplication and delay in the planning process.

3.Provide input and reports to the Board, County staff or any County hearing body on issues of concern to the North Richmond community.

It is understood that the Board is the final decision-making authority with respect to issues concerning the North Richmond community and that the Council shall serve solely in an advisory capacity. Except as specified above, the Council may not represent the North Richmond community to any State, County, city special district or school district, agency or commission, or any other organization on any matter concerning the community.

Marcicela Navarro has moved from North Richmond and is no longer eligible to serve. As a result she must be vacated from her seat allowing for eligible candidates to serve.

She was appointed to the Unincorporated North Richmond Seat on the North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council in January 2010 to a four-year term ending 12/31/14. (Contiguous with the term of Supervisor Gioia.)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat would remain unfilled.
