Report Title: Contra Costa County Economic Opportunity Council Bylaws Approval
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE revised Bylaws of Contra Costa County Economic Opportunity Council as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Economic Opportunity Council (EOC) is an Advisory Board to the Board of Supervisors. On June 21, 2022, through Staff Report C. 184, the Board of Supervisors approved the current EOC Bylaws. On August 8, 2024 the EOC approved proposed amendments to the Bylaws. County Counsel has approved these revisions:
1. On pages 4, 5 and 7, item 2f: Added Family and Human Services Committee.
2. On page 5: Seat Terms - removed term limits from all seats (regulations are silent on term limits)
3. On page 6: Item A1, changed the word “will” to “may” (to allow for special circumstances)
4. On page 7, first sentence under reimbursement: removed sector and alternates, and changed it to low-income representatives so that a member of any sector can be reimbursed if they are low income.
5. On page 7, Item B: removed original receipts and added “map showing mileage and the sign-in sheet from the approved activity” (a county requirement)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the proposed action not be approved by the Board of Supervisors, the EOC Bylaws would not be amended to provide greater clarify to EOC functions.
