PURPOSE: To discuss various issues regarding the Boards and Commissions Application/
Appointment process.
BACKGROUND: Members of the Orange County Board of Commissioners have noted various
topics relating to Boards and Commissions that they wanted to further discuss. Staff met over
the summer break to review these topics and to offer proposed recommendations /changes to be
discussed by the Board at this work session. (Please see Attachment A - Issues to be
Discussed and Attachment B - Proposed Streamlined Abstract Format /Membership
Roster /Applicant Interest List for Board Appointments).
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with discussing the Boards and
Commissions Application/ Appointment process.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this item:
• GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION
Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through voting and
volunteering by eliminating disparities in participation and barriers to participation.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the various issues
regarding the Board and Commissions Application /Appointment process and provide direction to
staff.
Attachment A
1. Discussion /Decision Point:
- -To consider the vetting of applicants for certain boards as appointments
come up ( i.e., OWASA, BOA, Planning, ABC Board, etc.) by a committee
made up of BOCC members (two members) that would then make a
recommendation to the BOCC.
2. Discussion /Decision Point
- -To consider not having elected officials from other jurisdictions representing
Orange County on a board /commission.
3. Discussion /Decision Point:
- Applicants — To consider either revising the Applicant Application to allow
applicants to include other governmental boards (municipal) they may be
currently serving on OR requiring that applicants can only serve on two advisory
boards (which our policy currently states but that only includes other Orange
County advisory boards) and including within this parameter for two boards —
both Orange County and /or municipal boards.
4. Discussion /Decision Point:
- At Large vs Designated Positions- to consider reducing the number of
designated positions and replace with at- large positions to better fill more
positions on boards /commissions in a timely manner.
5. Discussion /Decision Point:
-To consider adding appointments on the agendas on a quarterly basis only.
(however, there may be "time sensitive" appointments once in a while)
6. Discussion /Decision Point:
-To consider moving the Appointments higher up on the Agenda
7. Discussion /Decision Point:
- Applicant Interest Listing: Thom Freeman currently contacts applicants before
putting up on abstracts to see if they are still interested in a position on a board
and if there is no response email /call within a specified timeframe- and it is still
less than two years for the application on file, does staff keep applicant on
interest list or remove.
8. Discussion /Decision Point:
- Appointments: Reformatting of appointment abstract (to reduce duplication of
information), membership roster and applicant interest listing to orientate both to
same format and reduction of duplication of information on applicant interest list.
(examples in attachment 2- was used on a trial basis at the Sept. 4t" meeting).
9. Discussion /Decision Point:
- Boards /Commissions Attendance by BOCC members: To request an alternate
to attend meetings if a BOCC member is unable to attend a board or
commissioner meeting (whether it be an internal board /commission or an
intergovernmental board).
