There is hereby created and established the San Diego County Parks Advisory Committee. This Committee is established to advise the Board of Supervisors, the Chief Administrative Officer and County Department of Parks and Recreation on programs, issues and long-range budget items pertaining to the Department of Parks and Recreation as defined in Section 287.8, Duties and Responsibilities.
The Committee shall consist of ten (10) members demonstrating interest and expertise in park land use issues. Each Supervisor shall nominate two (2) members, who shall be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The members shall serve during their terms at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors and any member may be removed at any time by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors or by any member‘s failure to meet the regularly scheduled meeting attendance requirements.
Cross reference(s) -- Appointment and removal, § 52.
(1) An employee of the County shall not serve on the Committee.
(2) No person shall be appointed to the Committee if by reason of such employment a conflict of interest could arise. Appointment by the Court of an attorney to represent an individual shall not be considered a conflict of interest.
Members shall serve a term of office concurrent with the term of office of their nominating Supervisor. The terms shall expire on the date of expiration of the term of the nominating member of the Board of Supervisors or at such time as said member of the Board of Supervisors ceases to hold office, whichever first occurs. Any member whose term has expired hereunder shall continue to discharge the duties as a member until a successor has been appointed and qualified. The reelection of a member of the Board of Supervisors for a succeeding term shall not automatically extend the term of any committee member.
A vacancy shall occur on the happening of any of the following events before the expiration of the term:
(1) The death of the incumbent.
(2) The resignation of the incumbent.
(3) Unexcused absences from more than one-third of the regularly scheduled meetings in any 12-month period or three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings.
(4) Or for any reason specified in Government Code Section 1770.
When a vacancy occurs as the result of missing one-third of the regularly scheduled meetings in one 12-month period or three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings, both the member and the nominating Supervisor shall be notified by the Committee Chairperson. Vacancies shall be filled in accordance with Section 287.1.
Vacancies shall be filled for the balance of the unexpired term of the member being replaced.
