Supervisor Franklin directs staff to wind down Racial and Social Justice Commission and form a temporary task force
Summary
Supervisor Franklin proposed dissolving the Racial and Social Justice Commission and creating a temporary task force under the Human Rights Commission to review findings, timelines and fiscal impacts; supervisors discussed the amendment to explicitly call it a 'temporary task force' and asked staff and the county attorney to return analysis and a draft resolution.
Supervisor Franklin used supervisor time to introduce a directive to dissolve the Racial and Social Justice Commission as a separate advisory body and establish a task force under the Human Rights Commission to review the commission's findings and finalize recommendations. Franklin asked that recommended solutions include timelines, fiscal impacts and other pertinent considerations and directed the county attorney's office to review legal issues.
Supervisor Vega asked whether staff had completed an audit the board requested of boards and commissions and expressed concern that making a decision now might be premature without that information. Franklin responded she would add the word "task force" to clarify intent and leave timelines to the Human Rights staff. The county attorney said making the change would be an action of the board if no objection was raised; if objected it would be a formal vote.
The board agreed to proceed with the directive as amended to call for a temporary task force and asked staff to follow up with timelines and legal review.
