§ 56843 Committee Reorganization Deadline Failure

Key Takeaways

  • •If the committee doesn't finish their report on time, the commission can fire them or add more people to help.
  • •The committee can also tell the commission they can't agree, and the commission can then fire them or add more people.
  • •The commission can add up to the maximum number of people allowed for one district to help the committee.

Example

Imagine a group of kids is supposed to plan a school party, but they can't agree on the games to play. If they don't finish the plan on time or tell the teacher they can't agree, the teacher can either say 'never mind, you're done' or add more kids to the group to help them decide.

Just like the teacher in the example, the commission can either fire the committee or add more people to help them finish their report if they're stuck or late.

§ 56843 Committee Reorganization Deadline Failure

If a reorganization committee does not complete and submit its report and recommendation before the date specified by the commission or, prior to that date, if members of the committee representing one-half or more of the subject districts report to the commission that the committee is unable to agree upon the report and recommendation, the commission may either order the discharge of the committee, or appoint additional members to the committee, not to exceed the maximum number authorized for a single subject district, to represent the public and order the committee, as so enlarged, to continue its study. (Repealed and added by Stats. 2000, Ch. 761, Sec. 175. Effective January 1, 2001.)
