RE: GCMPC Appointment Process Update

recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a proposed change to the appointment process for Genesee County's Metropolitan Planning Commission
BACKGROUND:
Members of the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (the GCMPC) are appointed by the Chairperson of the Board of County Commissioners. As provided in state law, this process was adopted by resolution of a previous Board.
DISCUSSION:
There is a desire to update the appointment process for members serving on the GCMPC. This update would provide for the appointment of members utilizing the adopted Appointment Policy.

This will take place by separate action of the Board.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
HR will aid in advertising for any position consistent with other boards and commissions.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
There will be no additional impact on the budget.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
There will be no additional impact on facilities.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:

CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
The Board of County Commissioners have prioritized an inclusive and collaborative culture. This proposal attempts to expand the process to be more inclusive of the entire BOC.
