Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: There is no change to net county cost as this item was budgeted in Department 15 in the addenda process. Costs associated with the review committee include reimbursement of committee members' mileage, lodging and meals if necessary for the Tahoe representative(s), potential rental costs associated with offsite meetings, and payment for legal notices.
Background: Article VII, Section 701 of the El Dorado County Charter states, "The Board of Supervisors shall convene a Charter Review Committee within two (2) years of the effective date of this charter and within five (5) years of the last charter review thereafter. The committee shall review the charter and, after at least two (2) public hearings, make recommendations for amendments to or revisions of this charter to the Board." The last Charter Review Committee was formed on May 20, 2003.
Reason for Recommendation: On September 23, 2008, the Board of Supervisors elected to appoint a Charter Review Committee consisting of one representative and one alternate per supervisorial district at the Board's third meeting in January, 2009.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The Chief Administrative Office will prepare the necessary agenda items to implement the Board's direction.
