DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Bernice E. Seidel, Clerk of the Board
SUBJECT: Revised 2025 Chairman’s Appointments & Form 806 (FCOG, FCRTA, FCRTMFA)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve the Revised Chairman’s 2025 Appointments of Board Members to various Boards, Commissions, and Committees, appointing Supervisor Bredefeld to the positions held by Supervisor Pacheco on the Fresno Council of Governments, Fresno County Rural Transit Agency, and Fresno County Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee Agency, as presented in Exhibit A; and Adopt the Revised California Form 806 (Agency Report of Public Official Appointments) as presented in Exhibit B, and direct the Clerk of the Board to post on the County’s website.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will appoint Supervisor Bredefeld to the position held by Supervisor Pacheco on the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG), Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA), and Fresno County Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee Agency (FCRTMFA). Approval of this action would also adopt the California Form 806 (Form 806), reflecting the updated appointment, as presented in Exhibit B. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board could choose not to approve the Revised Chairman’s 2025 Appointments of Board Members to various Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Supervisor Pacheco would continue serving on FCOG, FCRTA, and FCRTMFA as originally appointed in January, and the Form 806 would remain unchanged; however, as scheduling conflicts have arisen with another committee Supervisor Pacheco is assigned to, your Board may not have representation present at FCOG Policy Board meetings if the Alternate Member is also unable to attend.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action.
DISCUSSION:
On January 7, 2025, at the first regular meeting of the year of the Board of Supervisors, your Board formally approved their Committee assignments for the year, which included the appointments of Supervisor Pacheco to the North Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) Board of Directors, and Supervisors Pacheco and Magsig as the Member and Alternate Member, respectively, to FCOG, FCRTA, and FCRTMFA. Board members serving on FCOG also serve concurrently on FCRTA and FCRTMFA.
At the June 10, 2025, Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisors Pacheco and Magsig informed your Board they would not be able to attend the June 26, 2025, FCOG Policy Board Meeting due to scheduling conflicts. At the June 24, 2025, Board meeting, in accordance with FCOG Bylaws and Joint Powers Agreement, Chairman Mendes designated Supervisor Bredefeld to attend the June 26, 2025, FCOG Policy Board Meeting and represent your Board.
Due to meetings of the North Kings GSA Board of Directors conflicting with FCOG Policy Board meetings for the rest of the year, Chairman Mendes would like to formally appoint Supervisor Bredefeld to serve in the positions held by Supervisor Pacheco on FCOG, FCRTA, and FCRTMFA. Attached as Exhibit A is a list of the various boards, commissions, and committees on which the members of the Board of Supervisors serve, revised to list Supervisor Bredefeld in the positions held by Supervisor Pacheco. Supervisor Bredefeld’s appointment will be effective immediately upon your Board’s approval of the recommended action.
In March 2012, the Fair Political Practices Commission (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, revised to list Supervisor Bredefeld as the Appointed Person for FCOG and FCRTA (FCRTMFA is not listed on the Form 806 as members do not receive a stipend). Should your Board approve the recommended action, the Clerk of the Board’s office will post the revised Form 806 on the Fresno County website.
