CONSIDER response from the Commission on Women to staff recommendations presented in February 2018.
|
| |
Staff introduced the item by reviewing the prior direction given by the IOC in September 2017. The IOC had asked the Commission for Women to discuss reducing the number of At Large seats on the Commission from 15 to 10, which the CAO had recommended to address lack of quorum, and report back to the IOC in April 2018. The other four CAO recommendations to address Commission operational issues were to be tabled until the quorum issue was resolved and the Commission could meet to discuss them, and report back to the IOC in October 2018.
The current Commissioners submitted a written response, attached, to all of the CAO recommendations.
Vice Chair Andersen expressed a preference to reduce total Commission membership to 15 -- still a large membership. Chair Burgis again requested a proposed budget from the Commission, making no commitments of funding but wanting an estimate of funding that the Commission would need to function properly. She noted that the Commission website showed no meeting minutes since October 2016 and, of the minutes that were available, an average of five members were reported absent at each meeting. Staff reported that the Commission currently has 10 vacancies: two District seats and eight At Large seats. Chair Burgis commented that only members who could commit to the meeting schedule and level of activity should be considered for appointment.
Phyllis Gordon stated that the Commission has frozen recruitment efforts due to internal tension and objected to a reduction in membership. She stated that the members were very busy women with many responsibilities and that, consequently, many women are required to accomplish the work of the Commission. She added that it was often difficult to get members to take on higher obligations.
The Supervisors remained concerned about allegations that members were being required to fundraise. Several Commissioners highlighted some of the expenses incurred by the Commission, such as for trips to Washington, D.C. Phyllis Gordon commented that at one time the County provided funding and staff support for the Commission. She requested that the Commission be able to share what it needs from the County and the CAO liaison. Julia Halsey (President of the Friends group) asked what the County spends on its other advisory bodies and suggested that a commensurate amount should be allocated to the Commission.
Phyllis Gordon stated unequivocally that members are not required to fundraise, though some do so willingly. She dismissed the allegations of former members who resigned, stating that their report was biased and uninformed due to their short tenure with the Commission. Julia Halsey agreed and thought that too much credence was being given to the complainants.
Debbie Toth commented that she chose not to join the Commission due to the negativity and drama surrounding the Commission, characterizing the situation as a "witch hunt". Argentina Davila-Luevano attributed the Commission's recent problems to two individuals who resigned.
Vice Chair Andersen commented that the individual that was appointed to represent her District is a well-regarded attorney.
The IOC decided to recommend to the Board of Supervisors a reduction in the number of At Large seats from 15 to 10, and directed the CAO liaison to meet with the Commission for Women to discuss the remaining CAO recommendations. |
