Board appoints members to Placer County Charter Review Committee
Summary
The Board appointed one representative from each supervisorial district and two at-large members to a seven-person Charter Review Committee that will meet publicly and report any recommended charter changes to the Board for possible placement on a ballot.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors appointed district representatives and two at-large members to a county Charter Review Committee, which is required by the county charter to review the charter at regular intervals.
Background and process: The county charter calls for review of the charter every five years by a seven-member committee (one member from each supervisorial district plus two at-large appointees). The clerk of the board opened applications for the at-large seats and publicized the vacancies; staff received 19 applications during the open period.
Appointments and next steps: The board appointed the recommended district nominees and selected two at-large members from the application pool. With the panel formed, county staff will coordinate schedules and convene the committee; state noticed public meetings are required and any committee recommendations would come back to the Board and, if adopted by the Board, to county voters as a ballot measure.
Ending: Supervisors flagged past participation, civic involvement and geographic balance as selection criteria. The board concluded appointments and staff will set initial meeting dates.
