The Fish Camp Advisory Council on Nov. 1 tabled a decision on whether to revise its bylaws or disband as a county‑appointed advisory body and instead form an independent community organization. The board voted to postpone the matter until county representative Rosemary can attend, and members agreed to convene a small subcommittee to review and draft bylaw options.

Council members said the question centers on tradeoffs between remaining subject to the Brown Act—with attendant public‑meeting rules and in‑person quorum requirements—and disbanding to gain flexibility, including hybrid or fully remote meetings and the ability to take political positions as a community group. Several members said they believe revised bylaws could be written to preserve community safeguards while allowing more remote participation.

County staff advised that the board may adopt template bylaws if it remains a board‑appointed committee, and that any final bylaw changes must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Members agreed to agendize an action item to create a subcommittee of four or fewer people to produce two draft bylaw versions to present to the full council at a subsequent meeting.

The motion to table the bylaws decision passed unanimously. No final decision was taken on dissolving the advisory council or on any specific bylaw language; the subcommittee will prepare options and report back at a future meeting when county staff can be present.
