BACKGROUND
Each year when the Board of Supervisors reorganizes, the incoming Chair reviews and makes
recommendations to the Board on committee assignments. The annual review of committee
assignments is governed by a policy (attached) adopted by the Board in March 2000.
Transmitted herewith are my recommendations for committee assignments for 2008. My
recommendations seek to provide policy oversight for all major County functional areas, balance
the workload of the Supervisors, as well as consider some of the outstanding responsibilities and
appointments of the Supervisors on regional and other bodies. To those ends, I propose that the
Board consider reorganizing its standing subcommittees.
The Board has four standing committees: Family and Human Services; Finance; Internal
Operations; and Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure. In addition, the Board's Capital
Facilities Committee and Ad Hoc Committee on Legislation meet on an as-needed basis, and there
has been some interest in establishing the Legislation Committee as a standing committee. The
purpose of the standing committees is three-fold: (1)to study issues in more depth than is usually
practical at a regular meeting of the Board, (2) to study issues in the context of a functional system
of programs and services; and (3) to provide more opportunity for the public and other interested
parties to have insight and input into the analytical and deliberative process that leads to formal
recommendations.
The current standing committees cover most of the functional areas of County services but not all of
them. Therefore, I am recommending the establishment of a new standing subcommittee for those
public protection functions comprising the criminal justice, fire suppression and prevention, animal
services, and agriculture programs. Public Protection is one of the major functional program areas
of the County but has heretofore not received the same level of study and consideration as other
County functions. Yet there are significant Public Protection issues—some current and some to
Board Committee Appointments-REVISED January 4,2008
Supervisor Federal D. Glover Page 3
develop in the next few years—for which the Board will need to provide policy direction and fiscal
consideration. Legislative impacts of corrections reform and realignment, re-entry and other
rehabilitative programs, services provided to the courts and through court facilities, adult and
juvenile detention facilities,justice systems, and the East Bay Regional Communications System
are some examples of contemporary program issues that require policy oversight and guidance. I
am nominating Supervisor Gioia as chair of this new committee and myself as a member. In
recognition of the interdependency of the public protection agencies, I recommend that the County
Administrator's Office, by virtue of its coordinative role, provide the staff support for this
committee.
I propose that the Ad Hoc Committee on Legislation be formalized as a standing committee to be
staffed by the County Administrator's Office. In recognition of additional standing committee
assignments, I recommend that the Legislation and Internal Operations Committees meet on a
monthly basis rather than semimonthly. Some issues currently on referral to the Internal Operations
Committee can logically be referred to the Public Protection Committee, such as the monitoring of the
implementation of a multi-language emergency telephone notification system, monitoring of welfare
fraud investigation and prosecution, establishing standards for public warning systems and
community incident reporting, and working with the community to improve public response during
emergencies through education. The reassignment of these referrals should enable the Internal
Operations Committee complete its assignments with fewer meetings.
Additionally, to conserve staff resources, I am recommending the suspension of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Airports and that airport issues be referred to the Transportation, Water, and
Infrastructure Committee. The Ad Hoc Committee on Airports can be reactivated at a later time
should the need arise. I also recommend termination of the Ad Hoc Committee on Violence
Prevention and the referral of issues currently under study by that committee to the new standing
committee on Public Protection.
In the last few years, the Board has intensified its presence and participation in the state and federal
legislative processes, and to good effect. In continuance of this effort, I ask that the Board authorize
me to designate one or more delegates from amongst the Board members to send to the National
Association of Counties (NACo) Legislative Meeting to be held on March 1-5, 2008 in Washington,
D.C., and the Annual Conference to be held on July 11-15, 2008 in Kansas City, Missouri. Last
month, the Board adopted a federal legislative program that included requests for appropriations and
adopted policy positions on numerous issues, the outcome of which could have significant fiscal
and programmatic impact on Contra Costa County. NACo is the primary voice for counties in
Washington, and participation by the County's governing board will help ensure that federal
decision makers are aware of county issues and priorities.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS POLICY ON
BOARD MEMBER COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS
Adopted on March 21, 2000
1. Board Committee appointments shall be categorized in accordance with the following
descriptions and delineated as on the attached listing:
a) Internal appointments that are subject to the annual reorganization process and to
which the incoming Chair of the Board of Supervisors makes nominations to be
approved by the Board of Supervisors. Ad Hoc committees of the Board also fall
under this category.
b) Regional appointments that are not subject to the annual reorganization process and
to which the Chair of the Board of Supervisors makes nominations to fill vacancies,
as they occur, in accordance with the agency's terms and by-laws, and which
nominations shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
c) Special Case/Restricted appointments, for which the specific assignments are
dictated or are in some way restricted by statute or county ordinance, or for which the
term of the appointment makes it impractical for it to be considered along with the
other annual assignments e.g., a term that runs from July to June. Restrictions might
include, for example, that a committee member represent a certain district, be the
Chair of the Board, or vest in the Chair of the Board the authority to appoint an
alternate.
The Chair of the Board of Supervisors shall make nominations to these appointments
to fill vacancies, as they occur, subject to any legislated restrictions, and which
nominations shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
2. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1 of this policy and as allowed by law, the Board of
Supervisors maintains its right to nominate, reconsider and change appointments at any
time, irrespective of the term of an appointment.
3. All nominations approved by the Board of Supervisors shall be incorporated in three
attachments to an annually adopted Master Resolution covering committee appointments
from all three categories: Internal, Regional and Special Case/Restricted. For
administrative ease, the Master Resolution shall be amended and re-adopted from time to
time as terms expire or if new appointments are made. The Master Resolution shall
always reflect the complete roster of Board member appointments and shall be available
to the public.
