BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
County Fire Protection District's Fire Advisory Commission, the County Planning
Commission, and the Board appointees to the County Employees' Retirement Board.
On October 13, 2010, Mr. Paul Katz passed away, leaving a vacancy for Seat #9 on the
Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Board. By Board of Supervisors resolution, if
there is a vacancy with respect to the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 9th seat, the Alternate member shall
fill that vacancy until the Board of Supervisors appoints a regular member. This process is
also established in statute (County Employees Retirement Law of 1937, Sec. 31520.12),
which states: "If there is a vacancy with respect to the fourth, fifth, sixth, or ninth member,
the alternate member shall fill that vacancy until a successor qualifies." On October 26,
2010 the Board of Supervisors declared a vacancy for Seat #9 and directed the Clerk of the
Board to post the vacancy.
As a result of the recruitment, three applications were received and determined to be eligible
for consideration. The Internal Operations Committee interviewed the three candidates on
December 6, 2010. Prior to the interviews, each candidate was advised of the significant
time commitment required of Retirement Board members and of the important of disclosing
any conflicts of interest. Each candidate assured the committee that he could fulfill his
responsibilities if appointed and was aware of no conflicts of interest.
As a result of the interviews, the Committee recommends the appointment of Jerry R.
Holcombe, the current Alternate to seats 4, 5, 6, and 9 on the Board of Trustees. The IO
Committee also recommends the initiation of the recruitment process to fill the Alternate
vacancy that would be created by Mr. Holcombe's appointment.
The IO Committee was most appreciative of the time and interest of the applicants.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this appointment is not made to the Retirement Board, the County will not be fully
represented on the Board of Trustees.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
