Subject:Amending the Knightsen Town Advisory Council Establishing Resolution
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of public health, safety, welfare, public works, and planning. Section 31010 further
provides that the Board of Supervisors may determine the method by which a MAC’s
members shall be selected and may specify such other rules, regulations and procedures
as may be necessary for the operation of a MAC.
The members of the Knightsen TAC and the Knightsen Community Services District
(CSD) Board of Directors have expressed interest in having the elected Knightsen CSD
Directors perform the Knightsen TAC functions for a six month period, from January 1,
2011 to June 30, 2011.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Community Services District law expressly contemplates
that members of a CSD Board of Directors may serve on a Municipal Advisory Council
and that the offices of Director and Council member are not incompatible. (Gov. Code §
61040 (d).) Therefore, if the Board of Supervisors desires that the members of the
Knightsen TAC be the elected members of the Knightsen CSD, this can be accomplished
by amending the resolution establishing the TAC.
Therefore, Resolution 2010/ would make the following changes to the Knightsen TAC
establishing resolution:
• The “Membership” provision would be amended to specify that the Council shall
consist of five members who shall be current elected members of the Knightsen CSD,
appointed by the Board of Supervisors, upon nomination by the District III Supervisor.
• The “Term of Office” provision would be amended to specify that a TAC Member’s
term shall be six months: January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011.
• The former “Removal of Office” provision would be deleted, as it would not be
consistent with representation by elected CSD Board members.
• The former “Quorum and Vote Necessary for Action” provision would also be deleted,
as it is more efficient for the new Knightsen TAC members to operate pursuant to the
quorum and vote requirements of the Knightsen CSD.
• Notwithstanding the above amendments, the Knightsen TAC would continue to operate
as a County advisory body, subject to the County’s policies for advisory bodies.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these changes are not adopted, the Knightsen TAC would operate under its existing
resolution, which does not represent the interests of the KTAC and the Knightsen CSD
members to have the CSD Directors perform the Knightsen TAC functions for a six
month period.
