RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignation of the following individual from the District II Seat of the First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission effective immediately, as recommended by Supervisor Candace Andersen:


Barbara Cappa

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

Alamo, CA 94507

DECLARE a vacancy in the District II seat on First 5 on the Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors established the First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission on June 15, 1999 (Ordinance 99-15). The Board appointed nine Commission members and nine Alternate members on September 1, 1999.

Members include one Supervisor from the County Board of Supervisors, the directors of the County departments of Health Services and Employment and Human Services, and a representative from the County Administrator’s Office of Children’s Services. The other five members of the Commission are appointed by the Board of Supervisors and represent each Supervisorial District.

Commissioners and Alternate Commission members represent various disciplines and backgrounds including pediatrics, early childhood education, child welfare, and schools. Alternate members, including second representatives from the Board of Supervisors, the county agencies mentioned above, and the five districts, hold all the powers of the appointed Commissioners except voting privileges.

Due to Ms. Cappa's work commitments, rather than continually miss meetings, she has opted to resign her seat on the Commission.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will be filled, without the benefit of a Commissioner present, which could effect quorum.
