RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) (1) adopt motions to appoint / reappoint Members to serve on DAC Ad Hoc Subcommittees; (2) consider forming new DAC Ad Hoc Subcommittees based on the DAC Biannual Report to City Council; and (3) provide updates, if any.
BACKGROUND
At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the DAC reviews the list of Ad Hoc Subcommittees and appoints/reappoints Members, as deemed appropriate. Over the past several years, as the Commission has considered its appointments to DAC Ad Hoc Subcommittees, it has been mindful of the requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) and the important differences between a “Standing Committee” and an “Ad Hoc Subcommittee.” Standing Committees are required to comply with the provisions of the Brown Act (including public notification and public participation). Ad Hoc Subcommittees are not subject to those requirements. As provided for in the Brown Act, a standing committee has a continuing subject matter jurisdiction, or a meeting schedule fixed by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body. Whereas, in general an “ad hoc” subcommittee serves only a limited or single purpose, it is not perpetual, and is dissolved when the specific task is completed.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends that the DAC refer to the attached list of current appointments (Attachment 1) to appoint or reappoint members. The motion listed below may be repeated as many times as the Committee deems appropriate.
Adoption of Motions Appointing or Reappointing Disability Advisory Committee Members to Serve on Ad Hoc Subcommittees.
Recommended Motion: That the DAC appoints (or reappoints) ________________ and __________________ to serve on the _________________________Ad Hoc Subcommittee.
In addition to the current DAC Ad Hoc Subcommittees, the DAC may wish to consider new Ad Hoc Subcommittees based on their Scheduled Activities Plan in their Biannual Report (Attachment 2), which was approved by the DAC on June 12, 2024.
DAC members currently appointed to an Ad Hoc Subcommittee may provide any updates at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the discussion of this Agenda Item.
