RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignations of Doria Robinson from the At-Large, Environmental Justice Seat #1 and Nicholas Snyder from the At-Large, Business Seat #2 on the Sustainability Commission, DECLARE vacancies in the At-Large, Environmental Justice Seat #1 and At-Large, Business Seat #2 on the Sustainability Commission, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors re-appointed Doria Robinson to the At-Large, Environmental Justice Seat #1 and Nicholas Snyder to the At-Large, Business Seat #2 on the County's Sustainability Commission. On August 4, 2020, Ms. Robinson notified the County Sustainability Coordinator that she is no longer able to serve on the Sustainability Commission. On August 24, 2020, Mr. Snyder notified the County Sustainability Coordinator that he is no longer able to serve on the Sustainability Commission.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The terms of both the At-Large, Environmental Justice Seat #1 and the At-Large, Business Seat #2 members expire on March 31, 2023. Consistent with the Sustainability Commission Bylaws, "A vacancy during the term of any member will be filled by the Board of Supervisors for the remainder of the then-current term."

Consistent with the Sustainability Commission Bylaws, the Sustainability Coordinator shared this information with the Clerk of the Board and the Chair of the Sustainability Commission.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to fill the vacancies limits the ability of the Sustainability Commission to fulfill its purpose.
