SUBJECT: COUNTY ADVISORY BODY REVIEW — RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
DIRECT the County Administrator's Office to conduct a review of all county advisory bodies in Contra
Costa County and determine which bodies maintain residency requirements and which do not.
REPORT to the Board of Supervisors findings on this review for consideration of further action on this
issue.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Current county practice allows Supervisors to appoint individuals to volunteer boards and committees
under the designation of a "district seat" when in actuality that individual may live in or out of that
respective Supervisor's district. Such practice has the potential to allow for skewed representations on
county advisory bodies if Supervisors are not mandated to only be able to appoint from their respective
districts. For example, if Supervisors are able to ignore geographic boundaries, the potential exists to
have Supervisors appoint individuals from specific areas of the County and neglect other geographic
areas.
A study should be conducted to determine how many county advisory bodies do not have residency
requirements so that Supervisors are better able to make further recommendations about this issue.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will continue to have the potential of having geographice ity i county advisory
bodies.
