7.
  1. Accept this report on language interpretation services.
  2. Approve the agenda language addition on interpretation services and closed-captioning.
  3. Approve the media announcement on Spanish interpretation services and closed-captioning at the Board of Supervisor meetings.
  4. Direct Clerk of the Board staff on next steps regarding both the interpretation and translation services in other languages at the Board of Supervisor meetings.
  Jami Morritt presented the staff report.  Chair Andersen appreciated the agenda and media announcement of the current facility for closed captioning and Spanish interpretation at Board meetings.  She commented on the need to balance the cost and production/timeline impacts of adding additional languages for agenda translation and meeting interpretation and observed that the Spanish interpreter currently provided at Board meetings is infrequently used.  She noted that many nonprofit advocacy groups already provide assistance to English Second Language individuals and help them to navigate how to participate in civic activities. 

Vice Chair Burgis concurred and thought that additional languages could be considered if the need becomes apparent but she would need to see more evidence of the need. She suggested creating video training on how to work with an interpreter.

Jami Morritt said that such a video is being produced for broadcast just prior to the public session of the Board meeting, and may even be broadcast before the next board meeting.

Dan Safran suggested that more outreach be conducted to the County's nonprofit organizations that support the ESL/non-English speaking populations.

The Committee directed staff to forward the staff report to the Board on Consent with a recommendation to the Clerk of the Board to conduct outreach to the various community groups.

    • Hazardous Materials Commission
    • Library Commission
  Lauren Hull presented the staff report. 

The Committee expressed appreciation for the indepth review of each advisory body.

Monica Nino suggested, and Lauren Hull confirmed, that the advisory body application could be customized and improved by adding to the standard information supplemental questions specific to each advisory body.  In this way, additional qualifying information could be captured during the application process.  Lauren Hull clarified that supplemental questions could be added for multiple bodies should an applicant wish to apply for more than one advisory body.

The Committee concurred and directed staff to work with Granicus, each District Supervisor's office, and advisory body staff to develop supplemental questions to augment the standard advisory body application.

The Committee directed staff to forward the staff report and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and report back at the IOC's April 12 meeting with a status update on the modified application form.
