Information

Referral History:

On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors (BOS) adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the BOS. Included in this resolution was the requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee.

Referral Update:

The Arts and Culture Commission advises the Board of Supervisors in matters and issues relevant to Arts and Culture, to advance the arts in a way that promotes communication, education, appreciation and collaboration throughout Contra Costa County; to preserve, celebrate, and share the arts and culture of the many diverse ethnic groups who live in Contra Costa County; to create partnerships with business and government; to increase communications and understanding between all citizens through art. Most importantly, the Commission will promote arts and culture as a vital element in the quality of life for all of the citizens of Contra Costa County.

The Arts and Culture Commission is composed by one representative from each of the five supervisorial districts, four at-large representatives and one alternate, for a total of ten seats. Appointments are for a four-year period with terms expiring on June 30 of alternating odd-numbered years. At the Commission’s May 3, 2021 meeting, commissioners voted to reappoint Lanita Mims to the At Large 4 seat, for which the term will expire on June 30, 2021.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the reappointment of Lanita Mims to the At Large 4 seat on the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County to a term expiring June 30, 2025, as recommended by the Arts and Culture Commission.

Fiscal Impact (if any):
