BACKGROUND:
On March 2, 2009 the First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission (Commission) approved revisions to

Commission’s Bylaws, County appointees serve on the Commission as long as they hold their County office; public
members are appointed with a term, and can be reappointed by the Board. (C.C.C. Ord. C. § 26-14.010; Bylaws, Art.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
members, Alternate Commission members are not specifically identified in those sections. Several Alternate
Commission members have been appointed to the Commission without a term, while others have been appointed
with three year terms. Therefore, the changes to the Bylaws were completed in order to clarify and correct sections
that describe membership, terms, and vacancies for Alternate Commission members.
The Commission has requested that the Board of Supervisors adopt appointment terms for all Alternate Commission
members and set terms for those Alternate Commissioners who were previously appointed without a specified term
(see below). For consistency, the Commission is requesting that the terms for those currently without a term be set for
three-year periods beginning April 1, 2009 and expiring April 1, 2012. However, in the case where the Alternate's
corresponding Commission Member’s term expires in 2012, then the requested expiration date is April 1, 2013, so
that the Member and Alternate terms do not expire in the same year.
Appointee Seat Term Expiration
Susan Wittenberg District I Alternate August 16, 2012
Belinda Lucey District II Alternate August 16, 2013
Toni Robertson District V Alternate August 16, 2013
