RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT revised bylaws form the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County, as recommended by the Commission.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact from this change.

BACKGROUND:

The Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5) current has a total of eight members, one member from each supervisorial district and three at-large members. Do to an on-going issue with AC5's ability meeting the quorum requirements, the Commission looked for ways to improve the ability to meet regularly. Due to the recent resignation of an At-Large member, a seat on the commission has become vacant and available for conversion. On November 19, 2014, AC5 voted unanimously to convert this newly vacant position from At-Large to Alternate.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under the new membership, with five district representatives and two alternates, AC5 will now how a quorum of four instead of five. The Alternate will attend meetings and participate in all discussions, but will only be allowed to cast a vote in the absence of another appointed member.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

AC5 will continue to have problems meeting regularly due to the lack of a quorum.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
