RECOMMENDATION(S):

REASSIGN Clover Mahn from Seat 6 to Seat 2, and ABOLISH Seats 6 and 7 on the Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council.

DIRECT the County Administrator to update the Section 5 - MAC Membership Size of the MAC Policies to reflect this modification.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. Membership on the Board's municipal advisory councils is not compensated.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council (RMAC) is to advise the Board of Supervisors on land use and planning matters affecting the Rodeo community, and represent the Rodeo community before the County Planning Commission, the Zoning Administrator, and the County Board of Supervisors on such land use, planning, and zoning matters. The primary activity of the RMAC over the past 17 years has been to advise the District Supervisor for Rodeo, and County staff, on redevelopment projects that were planned to add infrastructure improvements and assist in making improvements to the Rodeo Redevelopment Project Area. However, since the State of California abolished the Redevelopment Program, there are no ongoing projects in the Rodeo Area needing community input, as had been the custom in the past. Consequently, it has been increasingly difficult to attract citizens to participate on the RMAC. Therefore, I am recommending that the RMAC membership be reduced from 7 to 5 members.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the membership is not reduced, the RMAC may not be able to achieve a quorum and hold regular meetings.
