Board adds Las Positas College ex officio seat to Agricultural Advisory Committee

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved a first‑reading ordinance amendment to chapter 2.122 of the Alameda County Administrative Code to add one ex officio seat representing Las Positas College on the Agricultural Advisory Committee.

Planning Director Albert Lopez said the change was requested by the Agricultural Advisory Committee to support its work and that the committee includes voting members and ex officio members who provide technical expertise. Supervisors questioned committee composition and procedures for routing ordinances to committee versus the full board; staff explained zoning and planning‑related ordinances often go to the relevant board committee before the full board and that board members may also place items directly on the board agenda.

Supervisor Miley moved to waive the balance of the full first reading; the motion was seconded and the clerk called the roll. The ordinance waiver and first‑reading action passed with three ayes and two supervisors excused from the meeting.
