BOARD AGENDA MEMORANDUM


SUBJECT:
Title
Board Policy and Planning Committee Recommendation to Revise the Board Advisory Committees' Agenda Format.


End
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Review, provide input and approve the proposed revised Board Advisory Committee agenda format.


Body
SUMMARY:
Board Advisory Committees (Agricultural Water Advisory Committee, Environmental and Water Resources Committee, and Santa Clara Valley Water Commission) were established to assist the Board with policy review and development, provide comment on activities in the implementation of the District mission, and to identify Board-related issues. The Santa Clara Valley Water District Youth Committee was created to engage the youth in the county on water-related subjects and is not included in this reformat request.

To align the Board Advisory Committees' agendas and work plans with the Board's yearly work plan, staff is proposing to revise the agenda format to allow regular reports on the Board's priorities from the Board's committees and/or Board committee representative, identify subjects where the committees can provide advice to the Board on pre-identified subjects in a timely manner to meet the Board's schedule, and distribute information/reports that may be of interest to committee members. The draft revised agenda format is included as Attachment 1.

On February 25, 2019, the Board Policy and Planning Committee supported staff's proposed draft revisions, and requested that this item be brought to the full Board for review and approval for implementation with the April Advisory Committee agendas.
