Supervisors reorganize committees, convert some ad hocs and confirm appointments
Summary
The board approved recommendations to retain some committee appointments, convert certain ad hoc groups to standing items, and create a single-purpose library ad hoc; the motion passed unanimously and staff will assign support where requested.
The San Benito County Board of Supervisors approved a set of committee appointments and changes to ad hoc structures on June 18, directing staff to implement the revisions and to return any requested follow-up reports.
Discussion centered on whether to keep several existing ad hoc working groups or convert them to standing committees. Speaker 6 recommended maintaining some groups as ad hoc bodies that can be convened when work is active, while Speaker 13 and others urged creating a single-purpose library ad hoc to focus exclusively on replacement-library options and bring recommendations back to the full board.
Board members also emphasized the need for staff assignments to support ad hoc work and recommended limiting ad hoc membership to board members while assigning specific county staff as liaisons (Speaker 13). A motion to approve the chair’s recommendations for committee appointments and ad hoc dissolutions carried on a unanimous roll call.
The board asked staff to evaluate each ad hoc’s charge, determine whether objectives were complete, and return recommendations for any continuing bodies that warrant standing status; staff will present the follow-up at a future meeting.
