LAFCO Removes Term Limit for Leadership, Elects Chair and Vice Chair and Approves Budget and Legal Contract
Summary
At its meeting, LAFCO approved a resolution to remove a restriction on consecutive one-year terms for chair/vice-chair, elected its leadership for one-year terms, approved the 2008–2009 budget and renewed a legal services agreement (last year—s legal line-item spend cited at about $31,000).
The Local Agency Formation Commission approved a series of routine governance and administrative items, including an amendment to its policies, election of leadership and approvals of the 2008–2009 budget and a legal services contract.
The commission adopted a resolution amending Section 1.4.10 of the LAFCO General Policies and Procedures to remove language restricting a commissioner to no more than two consecutive one-year terms as chair or vice chair. Commissioners moved and the motion was recorded as approved in the meeting transcript.
During the same session the commission filled leadership roles for one-year terms. Following nominations and a call for public comment (none was offered on the nominations), the motion to elect leadership was recorded as approved and the chair thanked colleagues for their confidence.
On fiscal matters the commission approved the proposed 2008–2009 budget after staff reported it mirrors the prior year's figures with a transfer to the clerk's office. On contracts, the commission approved a legal services agreement (a not-to-exceed contract) and staff noted the prior fiscal year—s spending on that line was about $31,000.
All approvals were recorded in the meeting as motions moved and approved; the transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally or named seconders for the recorded motions.
