Internal Operations Committee Page 2
On August 9,2005,the Board of Supervisors referred to the Internal Operations Committee(IOC)the
request of the Commission to reduce the number of At Large seats from four to two. The Commission
indicated that it was having difficulty maintaining full membership in the At Large seats and the vacancies
in these seats have frequently prevented the Commission from achieving a meeting quorum.
The IOC,on September 19,discussed this matter with new Arts and Culture Commission Office Manager
Robin Moore, and supports the Commission's request. The IOC recommends the elimination of two At
Large seats effective inunediately. This action will not impact any current members,as at least two At
Large seats are currently vacant.

SUBJECT: REQUEST CHANGE IN AC5 AT-LARGE POSITIONS �'��
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)-OR RECOMMENDATtON(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTtFICATtON
RECOMMENDATIONS:
REFER to the Internal Operations Committee the proposed reduction of the number of At-Large
Members of the Arts & Culture Commission of Contra Costa County from four (4) members to two (2)
members, as recommended by the Arts&Culture Commission of Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND
In its ten-year history, AC5 has struggled to fill At-Large commission vacancies, resulting in frequent and
prolonged vacancies. The commission has typically had two at large positions filled at any one time,
which is why the recommendation is to reduce from four to two at-large positions, The result of the
constant unfilled positions is difficulty in reaching a quorum and conducting business.
