DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:

 

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors appoint Supervisor Vasquez to the Vacaville-Dixon Greenbelt Agency Governing Board as an ex officio member.

 

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

 

In 1996, the cities of Vacaville and Dixon entered into a joint powers agreement (JPA) to form the Vacaville-Dixon Greenbelt Agency (“VDGA”) to provide a forum for a cooperative working relationship to create a permanent greenbelt separation between the two cities. The JPA established the governing board for the VDGA to include two members from each of the respective city councils and one ex-officio member from the Solano County Board of Supervisors.  Supervisor Vasquez is requesting appointment to fill that position.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

The cost associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the department’s FY 2019/20 Adopted Budget.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

The Board could choose not to make an appointment to the VDGA; however, this is not recommended as the appointment is an opportunity for Solano County to actively participate in the discussions related to maintaining the greenbelt separating the two cities.

 

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

 

None.

 

CAO RECOMMENDATION:

 

APPROVE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
