DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On August 24, 2015 (Item 2, File 15-0630) the Board adopted Resolution 147-2015 which modified the membership structure of the Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee (CEDAC) from eleven (11) voting members to seven (7) voting members and one (1) Alternate Member at Large who would only vote if there were no Members at Large present at a meeting. The Resolution explicitly states that Members at Large and the Alternate Member at Large are appointed to two (2) year terms whereas the term of District specific appointees is coterminous with the appointing Supervisor.

The Clerk of the Board posted a Notice of Vacancy for these positions on August 1, 2017. Applications were received from Ms. Marenco and Mr. Payne on August 14, 2017 and a third application was received from Felicity Wood on September 14, 2017.
