RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Supervisor John M. Gioia (District 1) of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to serve on the Association of Bay Area Governments amd Metropolitan Transportation Commission, CASA Legislative Task Force, as recommended by Supervisor Gioia.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

ABAG and MTC are leading the effort to bring together a blue-ribbon panel of local elected officials, housing experts, and leaders from across the Bay Area who worked together for almost two years to build an actionable consensus around (1) increasing housing production at all levels of affordability, (2) preserving existing affordable housing, and (3) protecting vulnerable populations from housing instability and displacement. This group is named CASA, the Committee to House the Bay Area.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The ABAG Executive Board directed the formation of the CASA task force of elected officials from Bay Area cities and counties to follow, become informed and to engage in the legislative process that is essential for the CASA compact to be implemented.

Each county’s Boards of Supervisors is invited to appoint one representative. To encourage the presence of new perspectives on the Task Force, nominating bodies are encouraged to appoint members who are not currently serving on the ABAG Executive Board or on MTC. Currently, Supervisor Glover is the County’s representative on MTC, and Supervisors Andersen and Mitchoff are the County’s regular members on the ABAG Executive Board.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County will not have representation on the CASA Legislative Task Force.
