OF
CONTRA COSTA CO3UNTY, STATE O3F CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Endorsing }
Senate Bill Number 11103 and RE30LUTION NUMB 70/337
Assembly Bill Number 1771.
4JHr-12EAS from 1965 through 1969 legislation establishing
the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission has
provided for a system whereby each Commissioner could appoint an
alternate or proxy; and
WHEREAS this system has appeared to be bath workable
and fair; and
WHEA.S the Legislature in 1969 deleted the sgs:ern' of
proxies or alternates from the law; and
1&ffM- EAS two bills in the 1970 Legislature, Senate Bill
Number 11103 (McCarthy) and Assembly Bill Number 1771 (Dunlap) ,
would provide for each member of the Commission to appoint ars
alternate , subject to confirmation by each member =s appointing
power, thus assuring the public that alternates will be selected
carefully and made accountable to the same power that appoints
each Commissioner; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill Number 11103 requires that each
alternate have the same qualifications as the Commissioner who
selected him, so that the alternate for a County Supervisor
would have to be another Supervisor, while Assembly Bill Number
1771 provides that the choice of alternate need not be so
restricted but that every alternate must be approved by the
Commissionerts appointing power; and
WHEREAS the Legislature has decided that of the 25
members of the Commission eligible to vote on the Bay Conservation
and. Development Commission permit applications, 9 shall be County
Supervisors and 4 shall be elected city officials ; and
WHERE=►AS these locally-elected officials occasionally
find that meetings required as part of their local duties
conflict with the meetings scheduled by the Bay Conservation
and Development Commission, so that they cannot themselves
attend but could provide for their localities to be fully
represented if alternates could be appointed;
NO>W, TH_r,2r4RE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of
Supervisors HEREBY SUPPORTS both Senate Bill Number 11103 and
Assembly Bill Number 1771; and
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that this Board of Supervisors
considers that the flexibility provided by Assembly Bill Number
1771 makes it the preferable of the two bills , but that passage
of either bill would be of great benefit; and
RESO3LUTION NUMBER 70/337
