5 representatives of the County, one appointed by each member of the Board of
Supervisors, other than a member of the Board of Supervisors;
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
4 special representatives of the following:
Superintendent of Schools
Contra Costa Central Labor Council
Contra Costa Council
Alliance for Better Libraries
The By-Laws Committee of the Commission is proposing two changes to the by-laws
regarding Special Representatives:
First, that the Friends Council replace the defunct Alliance for Better Libraries, and that
the Contra Costa Community College District be added as a fifth Special Representative
group; and
Second, that the appointment made by the Contra Costa Community College District
must be of someone other than a member of the district’s Governing Board. This is in
keeping with current By-Laws which state: “Nominations made by a member of the
Board (of Supervisors) must be of someone other than a member of the Board.
Nominations made by a City Council must be of someone other than a member of that
city’s City Council.”
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved a change in this portion of the By-laws will not be
made.

No impact.
