1) 2019 Board of Supervisors’ Requested Appointments (Attachment A) - reflects Board member requests of board assignments for 2019.

DISCUSSION:
At the beginning of each year, the Board of Supervisors considers appointments of the supervisors to various boards, commissions and committees. These boards, commissions and committees are national, state, regional, and countywide in nature, while others are Board committees.
The Board of Supervisors’ Committees are formed at the direction of the Board of Supervisors and are advisory in nature. They are made up of two Board members and the role of each committees is to study matters and report back and/or make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Board committee commitment of County resources, including inquiry/research by support staff and commitment of resources for individual Board member initiatives requires a majority approval from the Board of Supervisors.
The attached 2018 Board of Supervisors’ Appointments reflect current support staff contact information for each board, commission and committee, as well as the appointment date, term lengths and meeting times. The appointment lists also indicate whether compensation is provided to the appointee and whether a Statement of Economic Interest is required.
The attached 2019 Board of Supervisors’ Requested Appointments is a consolidation of requests by the supervisors for 2018 appointments. The appointments shown in blue on the attachment indicate that the supervisor has requested to remain in the appointment. The appointments shown in red or green indicate a request by a supervisor for a change in that appointment. In summary, the following three requests for changes were received from the supervisors:
1) Supervisor Hannigan has requested to be removed from the Law Library Board of Trustees. One primary appointment is required by this board.
2) Supervisor Thomson has requested to become the Primary representative on the Delta Counties Coalition. He became the Alternate due to the ex parte communication order related to the WaterFix project - this order has since ceased. One primary and one alternate appointment are required by this board.
3) Supervisor Thomson has requested to be removed from the Delta Stewardship Council. He was appointed to this Board due to his role as Chair of the Delta Protection Commission. As of January 7, 2019, Supervisor Villegas of Yolo County will become the Chair of the Delta Protection Commission and will sit on the Delta Stewardship Council. No one from Solano County will sit on the Delta Stewardship Council.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to appoint any representatives at this time.
