DISCUSSION:
At their first regular meeting of the year, the Board of Supervisors formally approves their Board and Committee assignments for the year. Attached as Exhibit A is a list of the various boards, commissions, and committees on which the members of the Board of Supervisors serve.
In March 2012, the FPPC amended Regulation 18705.5, creating a limited exception to allow public officials to vote on their appointment as representatives of the entity to other paid public boards. The FPPC also required the use of Form 806 (Agency Report of Public Official Appointments) for public agencies to identify these appointments. Since 2013, Form 806 has been used to report additional compensation received by elected officials when appointing themselves to positions on committees, commissions or boards for public agencies, special districts, or joint powers agencies or authorities. Attached as Exhibit B is Form 806, which will be posted on the Fresno County website and will be updated as changes occur.
