Background
background
The Capital Improvement Program Advisory Committee (CIPAC) provides citizen participation for the planning process as outlined for the County Capital Improvement Program, from a broad base of citizens. CIPAC is comprised of 14 Ramsey County appointed members, with two residents of each commissioner district. Members serve two-year staggered terms.
There are currently eight vacancies on CIPAC in Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (2 openings) and 7. Recruitment through the County’s Open Appointment Process resulted in eight applications. On September 4, 2020, the Chief Clerk’s Office forwarded the applications to the board of commissioners for review and recommendation. Recruitment will continue for the remaining vacancy in District 4.

County Goals (Check those advanced by Action)
☐ Well-being ☐ Prosperity ☒ Opportunity ☒ Accountability
Racial Equity Impact
The County currently recruits for advisory committee vacancies through an open process, which is currently limited to presence on the county website, GovDelivery distribution lists, and word of mouth by advisory committee members, staff and county commissioners. Plans are being created to implement changes to recruitment strategies to expand efforts to increase racial diversity and under-represented voices in the appointment process.
Community Participation Level and Impact
Participation by and input from community members appointed to advisory groups helps to shape and improve programs and services for the community, share information and increase the level of understanding through discussion, dialogue and engagement.
☒ Inform ☒ Consult ☒ Involve ☐ Collaborate ☐ Empower
Fiscal Impact
Representatives on Ramsey County advisory boards and committees do not receive County compensation; they contribute their time and expertise to provide guidance and oversight to County policies and programs.
