Council on Aging keeps 15-member structure; proposal to change board size tabled by consensus
Summary
County staff reported quorum challenges under smaller, less-frequent meeting schedules; the Council agreed to retain a 15-member board and permanently table the proposal to change board size, with counsel noting that any change would require a code amendment.
County Executive Rowena Dagdag-Andaya briefed the Council on historical quorum problems when the board had fewer members and met less often, noting that a full 15-member structure and monthly meetings have improved quorum consistency and participation.
Corporation Counsel Chris Nunokawa advised that any change to board size would require a code amendment and potentially updates to administrative rules. After discussion, Chair Ed Romson summarized the staff recommendation to maintain the 15-member structure; the Council agreed and the motion to consider changing board size was permanently tabled by consensus.
The minutes record the action as a permanent tabling rather than a change to membership. No formal vote to change board size was taken.
