body
BACKGROUND:
The Midcoast Community Council (MCC) advises the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on matters including, but not limited to, public health, safety, welfare, public works and planning which affect the unincorporated Midcoast communities of Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Princeton, and Miramar.
Pursuant to its establishing Resolution, which the Board of Supervisors adopted in 1991, members of the MCC are elected by the registered voters of certain election precincts on the Midcoast. While the establishing Resolution does not speak to the manner in which vacancies are to be filled, the practice since 1998 has been for the MCC to recommend persons for appointment and for action to be taken by the Board of Supervisors to make the appointments.
DISCUSSION:
Ann Rothman is being recommended to serve a 2-year term for a vacant seat.
Ann Rothman has been a Coastside resident for 30 years. She is a Registered Veterinary Technician. Her passion for community service on the coast started when her daughter had nowhere to play with friends. Moss Beach parents came together and Ann helped build the original Moss Beach park with them. She has worked with the homeless and senior citizens. Her passion for community service and desire to improve coastside infrastructure has led her to the Midcoast Community Council.
This appointment continues to show the collaborative relationship between the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and the Midcoast Community Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
