Report Title: Appoint Jennifer Quallick as Alternate Director to TRAFFIX
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Appoint Jennifer Quallick as Alternate Director for District II Supervisor Candace Andersen to the Measure J Traffic Congestion Relief Agency (DBA TRAFFIX).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
As the only County elected representative to the TRAFFIX Board of Directors, Supervisor Andersen cannot always attend the monthly Tuesday afternoon meetings due to a conflict with Board of Supervisors meetings.
The TRAFFIX JPA allows for the County to appoint an employee of the County as an alternate Director as per section 2.5.4. below:
Section 2.5.4. Each Legislative Body shall appoint an alternate Director for that Member. The alternate Director may act as the Director in the absence of the Director appointed by that Legislative Body. The alternate Director for the City, Town, and School District shall also be a member of the Legislative Body that appointed the alternate Director, but the alternate Director for the County may be an employee of the County.
Jennifer Quallick is Supervisor Andersen’s Chief of Staff (effective 7/1/2024) and therefore an appropriate appointment for alternate Director.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
