Information
Referral History:
On December 8, 2015 and in subsequent actions on April 19 and September 20, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the following Internal Operations Committee recommendations on the first phase of the current Triennial Advisory Body Review cycle:
  1. TERMINATED the County's participation on the Bay Area Library Information System Advisory Council.
  2. DIRECTED the Contra Costa Commission for Women to revise its Bylaws to reflect a total membership of 20 seats (one from each Supervisorial District and 15 At Large) plus one Alternate, and the standard County quorum requirement, which is a majority of authorized seats or, in this case, 11, and to submit the revised bylaws to the Board of Supervisors for consideration.
  3. APPROVED recommendations of the Health Services Department in regarding revised mission and structure of the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board.
  4. RECONSTITUTED the Agricultural Advisory Task Force, including revised mission statement and work program, delineation of powers, duties, membership, bylaws, meeting plan and staffing.
  5. UPDATED the Advisory Council on Aging bylaws to provide greater clarity and direction in the administration of the Council's operations.
  6. UPDATED the Emergency Medical Care Committee bylaws to eliminate alternate seats, reduced the number of officers and clarified mission and duties.
  7. EXTENDED the Library Commission through December 31, 2016 to provide time for input by the Commission and the cities on the future of the Commission.
The IOC asked staff to follow up on several questions and made the following determinations, which required no action by the Board of Supervisors:
  1. To maintain the Airport Land Use Commission and Aviation Advisory Committee as separate bodies.
  2. To maintain the Hazardous Materials Commission and the Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB) as separate bodies and direct the Health Services Department to report back to the IOC with recommendations for revitalizing the PEHAB.
Referral Update:
The following items from Phase I of the Triennial Advisory Body Review remain outstanding and require consideration by the IOC and possible action by the Board of Supervisors:
  1. The future disposition of the Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board. There was some discussion about abolishing PEHAB and creating a new citizens’ advisory body on sustainability. The Board’s ad hoc Committee on Sustainability, on August 22, held a discussion regarding a new citizens’ advisory body on sustainability, but the staff report made no mention of PEHAB.
  2. The future disposition of the Library Commission (see recommendations in Item 4 on today’s Committee agenda).
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT report on the status of Phase I of the Triennial Advisory Body Review and CONSIDER actions to be taken.
