from each of the Commission districts and two members at -large, with the vice chair or other designee of
the BCC serving in a liaison capacity. Committee members are required to possess special expertise and
experience related to managing large organizations, and must be balanced in representing the views of the

jurisdiction of the BCC, with the goal that tax dollars are being conserved and used as efficiently as
possible. The committee may analyze and review existing structure, organization, staffing, management,
operations, business practices, and procedures of the departments and divisions of county government as
directed by the BCC, and reports its findings and recommendations to the BCC. The BCC shall review
the effectiveness and procedures of this committee every four years, commencing in January 2022.
Of the seven members, there shall be one member from each of the five commission districts, and two at-
large members. Candidates for the five commission district seats must be nominated by the commissioner
of the district they reside in, and need a simple majority vote for appointment. Candidates for the two at -
large seats may be nominated by any commissioner, but must receive a four-fifths vote for appointment or
reappointment.
Ordinance No. 17-53 directs that the initial terms of office of the committee members shall be as follows:
three of the district seats shall be appointed for one year; two of the district seats shall be appointed for
two years; the two at-large members shall be appointed for two years. Thereafter, appointments and
