BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Napa County Treasury Oversight Committee (TOC) was established by Board Resolution No. 96-36 as mandated by the State of California under Government Code sections 27130 through 27137. The TOC members and classifications were increased by Board Resolution 98-49 and updated in 2004 to include alternates for each member. In 2005, in an effort to reduce State mandates, the California Legislature amended Government Code section 27131(a), removing the mandate for county TOCs. However, the County heeded the Legislature's urging as stated in Government Code section 27131(b) and continued TOC functions on a voluntary basis. In 2014, the Board adopted Board Resolution 2014-121 which repealed Resolutions 96-36 and 98-49 and expressly re-authorized the TOC as a voluntary county advisory committee. The Resolution further detailed in a single location the classification and selection of membership for the TOC as well as the powers and duties of the TOC arising from Government Code sections 27130 through 27137.
The Board approved the addition of the position of Public Member on January 26, 2021, as allowed under Government Code section 27132(g). In accordance with Government Code section 27132(g), the member representing the general public must possess the expertise, or academic background, in public finance. James Hudak fits the criteria for Public Member and staff requests his reappointment to the committee.
