A motion was made by Supervisor Thomas, seconded by Supervisor Hidahl to provide the following direction regarding the Charter Review Committee’s recommendations regarding the El Dorado County Charter:

Revision to Charter Section 202 – Term of Offices for the Board of Supervisors
Charter Review Committee Recommendation
The Charter Review Committee is recommending an amendment to Charter Section 202 that would allow for Board members to complete three full terms and remove the language allowing a Board member to return after a break from consecutive terms. This would mean that any Board member can only serve three full terms and would limit the ability of any past Board members to return to the Board if they are seeking more than a third term.
The Board decided not to pursue this recommendation. Revision to Charter Section 205 – Setting of Meetings Charter Review Committee Recommendation The Charter Review Committee is recommending an amendment to Charter Section 205 that would require a meeting be held in a specified supervisorial district if requested by a Board member before the Board calendar is adopted.
The Board decided not to pursue this recommendation.

Revision to Charter Section 401 – Powers and Duties
Charter Review Committee Recommendation
The Charter Review Committee is recommending an amendment to Charter Section 401 that would require all Department Heads to annually submit to the Board of Supervisors at a public meeting an updated strategic plan for their department. The revision further allows the Board to specifically exempt a department head from publicly presenting an update that they provided.
The Board decided not to pursue this recommendation.

Recommendation on Charter Section 504 – Sheriff’s Salary Limitation
Charter Review Committee Recommendation
The Charter Review Committee is recommending the Board of Supervisors engage County resources to review the three comparator agencies and determine if those comparator agencies remain the appropriate agencies for Charter Section 504.

The Board directed staff to work with Human Resources to identify an outside agency to conduct an analysis of Charter Section 504 comparator agencies in the 2024/2025 budget cycle as recommended by the Charter Review Committee.

Yes: 5 – Hidahl, Thomas, Turnboo, Laine and Parlin
