RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECOMMEND the Board of Supervisors appoint Catherine Jones to the At Large 5 Commissioner seat on the Contra Costa Commission on Women and Girls (CCCWG), for a term ending February 28, 2022, as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

The Family and Human Services Committee has reviewed and supports the recommendation of the Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls Membership Committee, to appoint Catherine Jones to the At Large 5 Commissioner seat for a term ending on February 28, 2022.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contra Costa Commission for Women was formed 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. The Commission's mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women in Contra Costa County.” In September 2017, the IOC held a discussion about problems that had been reported concerning the Commission for Women including a spate of member resignations, inability to achieve a meeting quorum, blurred responsibilities, disagreement over the Commission's mission, factions and fragmentation, open meeting act errors, and loss of interest among some of the membership. The IOC has worked with the Commission over the next two years to institute policy and bylaws changes to address the issues that have hindered functioning of the Commission. The Commission for Women continues to face membership challenges. The committee consists of 15 members and one alternate including:

Five district representatives, (one from each supervisorial districts)
Ten At Large members, and
One At-Large Alternate.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
