BACKGROUND:
On January 28, 1997, the Board of Supervisors referred to our Committee the
responsibility to interview for vacant seats on the County Charter Commission and
determine whether the makeup of the Commission should be changed to encourage
more diversity, including whether the three additional General Public seats
recommended by Supervisor DeSaulnier should be created.
We have recruited for all vacant seats and received 16 applications. All applicants
were invited to be interviewed on March 11, 1997. Eleven of the 16 applicants
showed up for the interview. We were extremely impressed with the caliber,
background, and knowledge of all the applicants. We are sorry that all of them
cannot be appointed.
We have recommended the creation of two additional alternate seats, one for
Business and one for the General Public and one additional Labor seat, in addition
to the three additional General Public seats recommended by Supervisor
DeSaulnier.
We have tried to balance the diversity and geographical distribution of the
Commission by recommending the appointment of three women, two additional
individuals from East County and two additional individuals from West County.
