Open space committee asks board to reduce membership from seven to five
Summary
The open space committee requested that the board adopt a resolution to reduce its membership from seven to five to ease quorum issues; the board agreed to place the item on the next general meeting agenda.
The open space committee asked the Board of Supervisors to amend the committee’s membership from seven members to five to address frequent quorum problems.
Jason and Peter explained that the open space committee had voted in favor of the change and that the four current members have sometimes lacked a quorum. Matt Davidson, who joined by Zoom, confirmed the committee voted to reduce membership because recruitment has been difficult and they wish to operate more reliably. Peter noted the committee was created by resolution (recorded in the transcript as resolution 2120 20 21 r-12) and that the board could adopt a new resolution to change membership numbers.
Board members asked staff to check state law to confirm a minimum-member requirement, and the chair agreed to place the item on the next general meeting agenda for formal action.
