RECOMMENDED
ACTION(S):
Approve the recommended revision to
the Bylaws for the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness allowing the
Orange County District Attorney to designate a proxy representative to attend
the Commission meetings, to fulfill the required member representation and
provide adequate member attendance to vote and meet quorum for voting items.
SUMMARY:
The proposed Commission to End
Homelessness Bylaw revision allows the Orange County District Attorney to
designate a proxy voter at the Commission to End Homelessness meetings to
ensure representation and engagement by the Orange County District Attorney
office at Commission meetings.
BACKGROUND
INFORMATION:
The
Commission to End Homelessness (Commission) serves as a collaboration of County
government, city government, philanthropic, business-sector, community and
faith-based organizations, and other key stakeholders to focus on regional
policy and implementation strategies, affordable housing development, data and
gaps analysis, best practice research, social policy, and systemic change to
promote an effective response to homelessness within Orange County.

The Orange County District Attorney
(OCDA) currently is a member of the Commission, and the proposed amendment will
allow the OCDA to designate a substitute to attend the Commission meeting on
their behalf. The designee will be able to vote by proxy on any action items
and OCDA will inform the Commission Chair on who the designee is prior to the
start of the meeting.
The proposed revision to the Bylaws
was previously presented to and approved by the Commission on February 16,
2022. On April 12, 2022, the Board approved the Commission Bylaw revision to
allow the OCDA to designate a proxy representative.
On October 17, 2023, the County Executive
Office brought additional recommended revision to the Commission Bylaws to the
Board for approval. Due to an administrative oversight, the previously approved
revision from April 12, 2022, did not include Orange County District Attorney
to designate a proxy. The following reflects the proposed revision under
Article IX.D:
|
3. |
Members of the
BOS, and the Orange County District
Attorney who serve as Commission Members may designate a substitute to
attend a Commission meeting on their behalf and vote on any action item by
submitting the Member’s signed proxy to the Commission Chairperson at the
start of the meeting. |
As such, the County Executive
Office requests the Board approve the proposed revision to the Bylaws as
referenced in the Recommended Action above to re-add this critical language
that would allow OCDA to designate a proxy voter at the Commission meetings to
ensure representation and engagement by the OCDA.
