FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors makes appointments to two distinct types of seats on its advisory bodies. The following process will be followed for appointments to these two types of seats:
Type 1: Supervisorial District Appointments: Applications may be delivered to either the Clerk of the Board or to the District Supervisor's office. Applications received by a supervisor’s office are to be sent to the Clerk of the Board, and a copy is to be retained by the Supervisor's office. The Clerk of the Board will ensure that the Supervisor has a copy of all applications originally filed with the Clerk of the Board.
Type 2: At Large/Countywide Appointments: Applications are sent to the Clerk of the Board. The Clerk of the Board will distribute the applications to the appropriate interviewer. Except for the Planning Commission and the Treasury Oversight Committee, bodies may generally conduct their interviews of applicants, unless provided direction by a Board Committee. When an advisory body conducts interviews, the body's recommendation will be provided to a Board Committee for further review, along with all applications received for the applicable seat. In all cases, the Board Committee decides which applicants to nominate for full Board action. The ACEEO falls under Type 2.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The ACEEO will not fulfill its goal of having diverse representations serve on the committee.
