BACKGROUND: In Orange County, all members of the Orange County ABC Board are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The ABC Board has the authority to buy, sell, transport and possess alcoholic beverages for the operation of its stores. The ABC Board operates the ABC system and has the authority to hire and dismiss employees. The ABC Board members are compensated as determined by the Board of Commissioners. There are two vacancies on the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. The Board of County Commissioners, as the ABC Board appointing authority, is also empowered to designate one of the ABC Board members as the chair of the ABC Board. The Board of Commissioners has never before exercised the authority to designate the chair to the ABC Board. Since the seat of the present ABC Board chair is being filled by one of the appointments being made now, this is a good opportunity for the Board of County Commissioners to designate the chair to the ABC Board if it elects to do so. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider appointment(s) to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; consider designating one of the ABC Board members as the chair of the ABC Board.
