Section 801 of the County Charter provides as follows:

"The Board of Supervisors shall convene a Charter review committee within eight years of the last complete Charter review. The committee shall review the Charter and, after public hearings, make appropriate recommendations for amendment or revision to the Board."

On November 10, 2009, Board of Supervisors convened the 2010 Charter Review Committee to review the San Mateo County Charter and to submit to the Board, no later than June 30, 2010, its recommendations regarding amendments to the Charter.

The Board determined that the 2010 Charter Review Committee shall have 17 members to be selected as follows: (1) each member of the Board shall appoint two residents from his or her Supervisorial District; and (2) one person shall be designated by each of the following seven organizations for appointment to the Committee by the Board of Supervisors: the Council of Cities, County School Boards Association, League of Women Voters, Central Labor Council, SamCEDA, Sustainable San Mateo County, and Youth Commission.
