Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On April 11, 2016, the General Government Standing Committee directed staff to incorporate further changes recommended by Standing Committee members and the public to the MAC policy and to bring the policy to the next available Board meeting for consideration and possible adoption. On March 21, 2016, the General Government Standing Committee elected to continue the draft MAC policy to the April 11, 2016 meeting in order to solicit further public input. On February 2, 2016, the General Government Standing Committee directed staff to incorporate suggested modifications and to seek input from the currently formed MACs within the County. The Board of Supervisors adopted Resolutions establishing Municipal Advisory Councils (MAC) in the past (Hopland, Laytonville, Westport and Gualala); and, with the possibility of establishing additional MACs in the future, the Board expressed desire on January 12, 2016, to create and adopt policy governing the structure and governance of MACs.
Summary of Request:
Section 31010 of the California Government Code allows the Board of Supervisors to establish a MAC for any unincorporated area of the County. Municipal advisory councils (MACs) advise the Board of Supervisors on matters related to their geographic area as may be designated by the Board concerning services which are or may be provided to the area by the county or other local government agencies, including but not limited to advise on matters of public health, safety, welfare, public works, and planning.
The Executive Office, in collaboration with County Counsel, incorporated General Government Standing Committee and public input to the draft MAC policy, attached hereto, for the Board to consider for adoption. At the direction of the Standing Committee, on May 5, 2016, , staff prepared and sent a revised draft MAC policy to each authorized MAC within the County and further encouraged participation and public input at today’s meeting. Furthermore, the Standing Committee directed staff to incorporate proposed modifications, red-line and final draft versions attached hereto, and to bring forth the policy for Board discussion and possible adoption.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not adopt the MAC policy and direct staff to make further modifications.
