RECOMMENDATION(S):

MODIFY the composition of the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) by adding one Alternate seat for a four-year term with an initial expiration of January 1, 2017, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Alamo MAC may advise the Board of Supervisors on services that are or may be provided to the Alamo community by Contra Costa County or other local government agencies. Such services include, but are not limited to, parks and recreation, lighting and landscaping, public health, safety, welfare, public works, code enforcement, land use and planning, transportation and other infrastructure. The Council may also provide input and reports to the District Supervisor, Board of Supervisors, County staff or any County hearing body on issues of concern to the community. The Council may represent the Alamo community before the Board of Supervisors, County Planning Commission and the Zoning Administrator.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Council may also represent the Alamo community before the Local Agency Formation Commission on proposed boundary changes effecting the community. The Council may advocate on parks and recreation issues to the Town of Danville and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

In December 2012, the Board of Supervisors authorized the addition of a Youth Representative seat for the Alamo MAC to allow the youth of Alamo an opportunity to participate in local government The Board set the term for office for the Youth Representative seat to one year, expiring annually on December 31.

On January 14, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved a general modification to the countywide MAC policy providing the option for a District Supervisor to add, upon Board approval, one youth seat to any MAC and one alternate seat to any 7-member MAC. In accordance with the modified MAC policy, I am requesting the addition of an Alternate seat to the Alamo MAC to a four-year term of office, with the initial term expiring on January 1, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Alamo MAC could continue to face quorum issues and youth will not be allowed the opportunity to participate in local government.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
