body
BACKGROUND:
On June 2, 2015, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 073812 establishing the San Mateo County Veterans Commission. The mandate of the Veterans Commission includes the promotion of programs and policies that address the unmet needs of veterans in San Mateo County, such as those identified in the 2014 San Mateo County Veterans Needs Assessment. In establishing the Veterans Commission, the Board specifically directed those efforts be undertaken to maximize the likelihood that the Commission's membership will reflect the diversity of veterans in San Mateo County, including with respect to race/ethnicity, gender, age and sexual orientation.
Subsequently, on November 3, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 074159, which increased the membership of the Veterans Commission from nine to eleven regular voting members. Thereafter, on November 17, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 074183 which expanded the membership of the Veterans Commission to include two alternate members.
DISCUSSION:
This recommendation is for the reappointment of the Veterans Commissioner Stan Maupin as noted above. Stan Maupin initially began serving as an Alternate on the Veterans Commission in July 2023 before being appointed as a member in October 2023 for a partial term ending June 30, 2024. Approval of this reappointment would reflect a first full term as a voting member from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027.
Stan Maupin is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and retired Chief of the Redwood City Fire Department. He is also a Redwood City Port Commissioner and serves on the Board of the American Legion Post 105 in Redwood City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
