Discussion and Possible Action to Waive Boards and Commissions Residency and Voter Registration Requirement and Appoint Melissa Nole as a Public Agency Representative to the Child Care Planning Council
(Sponsor: Social Services)
End
RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Waive Mendocino County residency and voter requirement for appointments to Boards and Commissions; and appoint Melissa Nole as a Public Agency Representative to the Child Care Planning Council.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Board of Supervisors has previously waived this requirement when there have been a lack of available county residents willing to serve.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
All appointees to a Board or Commission must be residents of Mendocino County and registered voters thereof unless such requirements are waived by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors. Grounds for waiver may include but are not limited to: lack of availability of county residents who are willing to serve on a Board or Commission or an individual who is a non-resident but has special qualifications that are necessary for the position.
Applicant Melissa Nole is specially qualified to fill this long-standing, vacant seat. There has been ample opportunity to receive applications from Mendocino County residents for the seat in question, with no interest or applications received. Ms. Nole lives in a neighboring County, but works at Mendocino College, and is uniquely qualified to serve Mendocino County.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Do not waive residency and voter registration requirement.
