DISCUSSION:
Fresno EOC was formed under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, and currently has a 24-member Board of Commissioners, of which the Board of Supervisors has two appointments. In April 2024, Fresno EOC staff confirmed with the Clerk of the Board’s office that their commissioners serve two-year terms.
One of the Board’s appointees, Mr. McCoy, was first appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve on the Fresno EOC Board of Commissioners on January 12, 2016, and his most recent term expired on December 31, 2024. On January 28, 2025, your Board re-appointed Mr. McCoy to the Fresno EOC Board of Commissioners for a two-year term to expire December 31, 2026, and the Clerk of the Board’s office subsequently notified Fresno EOC staff of your Board’s action.
On January 30, 2025, Fresno EOC alerted the Clerk of the Board that their bylaws were revised, and their commissioners now serve three-year terms. The Clerk of the Board had not been previously notified of the revised Fresno EOC bylaws, which included the updated commissioner terms, and were approved by the Fresno EOC Board of Commissioners at their September 16, 2024, meeting. Attached to this item are the minutes from that meeting and the redlined bylaws that went to their board for approval; information specifically pertaining to the updated commissioner terms have been highlighted on pages 1, 7, and 12.
Approval of the recommended action by your Board will re-appoint Mr. McCoy to the Fresno EOC Board of Directors for a full, three-year term to expire on December 31, 2027, in accordance with the revised bylaws of the Fresno EOC.
