BOARD OF SUPERVISORS S.7
Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
FROM:
Costa
July 12, 1988
DATE: �y County
REQUEST THAT CONTRACT AGENCIES ADOPT BROWN ACT AND
SUBJECT: CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider requiring all county contract
agencies to adopt, as part of their bylaws and guidelines, the Brown
Act notification, open meeting guidelines and policy on posting
agendas plus adopt the special Board of Supervisors ' policy on
conflict of interest. Direct the County Administrator' s Office to
send copies of these documents to all contract agencies.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I think a policy is needed
requiring all county contract agencies to publish meeting notices in
the local newspapers for the area that the organization serves. For
example, an east county agency should contact all the East County
newspapers--the Beacon Gazette, the Brentwood News, the Discovery Bay
Soundings, the Daily Ledger, Post-Dispatch, etc.
County Counsel and the County Administrator should determine
if any of .our contract agencies need for some reason to do some
business outside of the normal open meeting process required by the
Brown Act, and if so, those special cases should be identified.
Overall, I do not believe there should be any circumstances
wherein an agency' s governing board should be allowed an exemption to
the Brown Act requirement.
