BACKGROUND In 1983, the TV30 organization was formalized as a public, non-profit corporation with a three member board of directors. To keep pace with its growth, the board composition was later increased to 11 members -two appointed representatives from each of the four Tri-Valley cities plus three at-large members. Several years ago, at the request of the four cities, the number of city appointed representatives was changed from two to one per community, thereby reducing the board to seven members. For at least the past ten years, Pleasanton's city representative has been appointed through the City's biannual commission/committee recruitment process. DISCUSSION In an effort to become more familiar with the administrative and financial aspects of the TV30 organization, and to better communicate TV30-related issues to the Tri-Valley City Councils, the mayors of Dublin, Livermore and San Ramon have expressed an interest in assuming their respective city representative positions on the board. Mayors Lockhart and Kamena, have already been appointed (by their respective Councils) to serve as the Dublin and Livermore City representatives. The City of San Ramon has indicated that Mayor Wilson will be appointed as its city representative when the term of its current representative expires in April. While Pleasanton's current City appointed board member is well representing our community, based on these recent appointments Pleasanton would be best represented by also having the mayor serve on the TV30 Board. This will facilitate a more direct line of communication between the TV30 organization and the Tri-Valley City Councils so that TV30 receives the support and guidance necessary to ensure its long-term sustainability.
