1. ACCEPT the Triennial Advisory Body Phase I report, attached, and APPROVE staff recommendations found at the conclusion of the report.
2. CONSIDER approving additional specific recommendations pertaining to the Commission for Women:
- To safely account for Commission funds and eliminate the Commission's dependence on outside agencies for funds administration, DIRECT the County Administrator to create and administer a budgetary organization unit to account for funds granted and donated to the Commission for Women and to work with the Commission Chair and Treasurer on a protocol and procedure to deposit and disburse the funds.
- To establish an arm's length relationship between the Commission and the Friends of the Commission and other supporting agencies, MODIFY the bylaws of the Commission to stipulate that members of the Commission may not be members of any organization that donates or grants funds to the Commission
- To foster leadership among all Commission members, MODIFY the bylaws of the Commission to stipulate that a member may serve as an officer for no more than two consecutive years.
- To sharpen the Commission's focus on its primary mission and to also minimize its dependence on fundraising, CONSIDER whether or not the annual Women's Hall of Fame recognition ceremony is consistent with the Commission's charge and mission, "To educate the community and advise the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged; to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women in Contra Costa County.”
- To help the Commission consistently maintain a meeting quorum, CONSIDER reducing the membership of the Commission from 20 members (5 District and 15 at large seats) plus one alternate to 15 members (5 District and 10 at large seats) plus one alternate.

Jami Napier and Emlyn Struthers presented the findings and recommendations, and summarized that, generally, all of the advisory bodies studied were fulfilling their charges, noting that some of the bodies were in the process of updating bylaws, some had reported difficulty in recruiting and retaining members, and some were evaluating their composition.
The Committee members suggested that it would be helpful if the District Supervisors' offices could receive a report once every six months on the attendance of their district appointees at advisory body meetings, and requested the Clerk of the Board's office to obtain and provide that information. Staff reported that additional programming was being done within the Granicus application to provide the Board members helpful information on pending vacancies in the district seats.
IOC staff presented five additional recommendations specific to the Commission for Women, which were transmitted with the staff report. Commission member Joey Smith and former Commission member Beth Mora commented that the officer duties of the Commission were rotated annually but the Commission's subcommittee leadership had no formal rotation of officers. They emphasized that the formation of the Friends Group and the Commission's increased dependence on the Group for funding resulted from the elimination of County funding for the Commission many years ago. Ms. Mora commented that several of the former members of the Commission were disappointed that the Board of Supervisors had not yet dismantled and re-established the Commission as a completely new entity.
The Committee generally concurred with staff's recommendations and asked the Commission to discuss reducing its size from 20 members to something smaller, e.g., 10 or 15 members, to improve cohesion and also the probability of achieving a meeting quorum, and to report any feedback to the IOC on April 9. Depending on the outcome of discussions on April 9, the remaining IOC staff recommendations could be considered by the Commission for report back to the IOC in October.
