Body
SUMMARY:
At the Committee’s October 2021, meeting, the Committee approved the working groups’ structure to align with the issues and policies that the Board of Directors has on their work plan and calendar for the fiscal year.
The Board will continue to keep the Committee informed of the working groups’ activities and results.
This will be a standing agenda item.
BACKGROUND:
The District Act provides for the creation of advisory boards, committees, or commissions by resolution to serve at the pleasure of the Board.
Accordingly, the Board has established Board Committees, which bring respective expertise and community interest, to advise the Board, when requested, in a capacity as defined: prepare Board policy alternatives and provide comment on activities in the implementation of the District’s mission for Board consideration. In keeping with the Board’s broader focus, Board Committees will not direct the implementation of District programs and projects, other than to receive information and provide comment.
Further, in accordance with Governance Process Policy-3, when requested by the Board, the Board’s Committees may help the Board produce the link between the District and the public through information sharing to the communities they represent.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IMPACT:
There are no environmental justice impacts associated with this item.
