DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Under provisions of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Constitution, members of the Board of Directors and alternates are nominated by their respective Boards of Supervisors and appointed by the Executive Committee to a one-year terms of office commencing with the first day of the CSAC annual conference. Any member of the Board of Supervisors is eligible for the directorship. The new Board of Directors will meet at the annual conference, first by caucus (urban, suburban, and rural) to nominate CSAC officers and Executive Committee members, and again as a full Board to elect the 2025 Executive Committee and to conduct other business. Under the CSAC Constitution, Executive Committee members are elected from the membership of the Board of Directors.
CSAC recently contacted the Clerk of the Board and asked that the Board's appointment be made as soon as possible, as the appointment is made the first day of the annual CSAC conference held in November. Therefore, this item is being presented prior to the Board's annual selection of appointments to various Boards, Committees, and Commissions, which typically takes place during the first meeting of the calendar year.
Currently, Supervisor Hidahl is the Board's Member and Supervisor Laine is the Board's Alternate on CSAC.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could select different members to represent the Board on CSAC.
