BACKGROUND:
i
On September 17, 1991, on the recommendation of Supervisor
Torlakson, the Board of. Supervisors referred to our Committee the.
proposed composition for an interim regional governing board.
which would replace ABAG, MTC and BAAQMD, as has been suggested
in several regional government proposals. This proposal came.
from the ABAG L&GO Committee. The specific details of the
proposed composition are as follows:
1. The Governing Board would consist of 42 members.
2. 35 ( 830) of the members should be local elected officials
and 7 ( 170) of the members should be non-elected
individuals.
i
3 . The local elected officials would be appointed by County
Board. of Supervisors and City Selection Committees and
should, as much as possible, retain those who have been
participating members of the ABAG, MTC & BAAQMD boards, in
order to retain their expertise.
4. The non-elected officials would be appointed by the local
elected official committee members.
5. The non-elected members would come from specialty/,interest
areas such as labor, business, environment and education.
6 . The suggested make-up of the 35 local elected officials is
based partly on countywide population and partly on a desire
to provide rural counties with adequate representation, as
follows:
*
COUNTY ROTATING CITIES COUNTIES
**
Alameda 1 4 1
Contra Costa 1 2 1
Marin 1 1 1
Napa 1.-- 1 1
San Mateo 1 2 1
San Francisco 1 1*** 1
Santa Clara 1 4 1
Solano 1 1 1
Sonoma 1 1 1
TOTALS 9 17 9 = 35
* One seat in each County would rotate (alternate)
between cities and the county for appointment with each.
term.
** One seat for Oakland
*** One seat for San Jose
Knowing that members of the Board of Supervisors have widely
varying opinions regarding the value of regional government and
the precise agencies which should be considered for inciusion in
such a structure, we believe that it is not appropriate for our
Committee to attempt to make a recommendation on thislsubject.
We are, therefore, referring the matter back to the full Board
without recommendation and are asking that the Board agree to set
a date- for a public hearing on the subject of ' Regional
Government.
