ATTESTED: April 6, 2021 Monica Nino, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: Jami Morritt, Clerk of the Board D.1 To:Board of Supervisors From:FINANCE COMMITTEE Date:April 6, 2021 Contra Costa County Subject:Measure X Community Advisory Committee Bylaws and Appointees RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D) At Large Seat Alternates: Genoveva Calloway (San Pablo/Richmond), Melissa Stafford Jones (Walnut Creek), Diana Honig (Orinda), Lindy Lavender (Unincorporated “Pacheco” area), Peter Benson (Alamo - Unincorporated) FISCAL IMPACT: Administrative action. Other than staff time, there is no specific fiscal impact at this time. BACKGROUND: The voters passed Measure X, a ½ cent sales tax levied countywide (exempting food sales), in November 2020. Collection of the sales tax began April 1, 2021 and will be available for distribution in FY 2021-22. The Board of Supervisors approved the creation of a 17-member Community Advisory Board to recommend funding priorities of annual revenue received under Measure X funds, directed the County Administrator to return to the Board of Supervisors with a process to move forward in soliciting applications and seating members on the Community Advisory Board, and further directed that the Advisory Board be a Brown Act body that is staffed by the County Administrator's Office. On March 9, the Board of Supervisors approved Bylaws recommended by the Finance Committee. Following the application period, the Clerk of the Board forwarded applications to all Board members for selection of nominees. On March 29, the Finance Committee invited each applicant wishing to make a public comment regarding their qualifications to do so. The Finance Committee discussed the expertise and perspectives of the applicants and the desire to include more voices on the Measure X Community Advisory Board by including alternates. The Finance Committee recommended revisions to the bylaws to formally allow the use of five Supervisorial District Alternates and five At-Large alternates (attached). At the conclusion of the comment period, the Committee made the nominations forwarded in the recommendation section of this report. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Measure X Community Advisory Board will not benefit from the expertise and input of alternates.
