ATTESTED: December 6, 2011 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: SD. 4 To:Board of Supervisors From:Julie Enea, County Administrator Date:December 6, 2011 Contra Costa County Subject:2012 MEETING SCHEDULE FOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND CONTRA COSTA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS on which meetings must be canceled in anticipation that a quorum of the Board will not be present. In past years, the Board has canceled those meetings that fall during a week with a County holiday, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in March, June, July, and November in which the annual policy and legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) are held: BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Conference Dates Location NACo Legislative Conference March 3-7, 2012 Washington, D.C. NACo Annual Conference July 13-17, 2012 Allegheny County, PA CSAC Legislative Conference May 30-31, 2012 Sacramento, CA CSAC Annual Meeting Nov 27-30, 2012 Long Beach, CA The proposed meeting schedule provides 31 meetings for the Board of Supervisors and 6 meetings for the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors, not counting special meetings. The schedule has been coordinated with the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners, which is tentatively scheduled to meet 12 times in 2012. The proposed meeting schedule takes into account and works around County holidays, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in March, June, July, and November in which the annual policy and legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) are held. The proposed meeting schedule recognizes the time demands on the Board of Supervisors members due to their participation on Board subcommittees, and numerous regional and local legislative bodies and task forces, which require preparation and attendance and involve travel. The proposed schedule also recognizes that the County is a much leaner organization in terms of management and administrative staff whose attendance is often required at Board of Supervisors meetings. There are legal provisions to schedule a special meeting to address any urgent need that cannot be accommodated in the standing meeting schedule. We proposed a 2012 meeting schedule on November 8, 2011, but the Board directed the County Administrator to prepare modify the schedule. The 2012 revised meeting schedule, attached, has been prepared in consultation with the incoming Board Chair and is recommended for the Board's adoption. Following are the modifications from the November 8 version: (1) cancellation of the August 28 meeting and (2) rescheduling of the Fire District meeting proposed for August 28 to August 21.
