RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE vacant the County Representative seat on the County Connection Advisory Committee due to resignation and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

County Connection was formed in 1980 as a Joint Powers Agency under the legal name The Central Contra Costa Transit Authority. Today County Connection provides fixed-route and paratransit bus service throughout the communities of Central Contra Costa County. The County Connection Advisory Committee meets bi-monthly to review, analyze, and advise the County Connection Board of Directors on issues and policies relating to fixed-route and paratransit bus service. Committee members also act as a citizen liaison from the represented jurisdictions.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Prior to 2019, the County Representative seat on the County Connection Advisory Committee had been vacant for many years. In 2019, the Board of Supervisors appointed Marjorie McWee to the County seat. Ms. McWee has actively served multiple two-year terms and her current term is due to expire on June 30, 2023. However, County Connection notified the County on March 6 that Ms. McWee resigned from the Committee. To enable the County to recruit and make a new appointment to fill this unscheduled vacancy, the Board should declare the County Representative seat vacant and direct that the vacancy be advertised.

Applicants for this seat are screened by the Board's Internal Operations Committee.
