Subject:Appointments to the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District
members to implement voluntary and cooperative conservation programs that promote the
sustainable and productive use of natural resources.
The CCRCD is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the County Board of
Supervisors and regulated under Division 9 of the California Public Resources Code.
In October 2010, the County was contacted by the Contra Costa Resource Conservation
District (CCRCD) requesting the Board of Supervisors to make appointments to fill two
Board of Directors seats whose terms of office expire on November 30, 2010. This request
was made pursuant to a 1998 CCRCD resolution ordering that all future directors shall be
appointed by the County Board of Supervisors in lieu of election (Public Resources Code
Section 9314). If the Board of Supervisors fails to make the appointments within 60 days
after the expiration of the terms, or by approximately January 29, 2011, then the District
Board of Directors may make the appointments.
The Board of Supervisors maintains a policy to consider all interested candidates for seats it
appoints. The District advertised the vacancies (posting a notice at the Contra Costa County
Library in Pleasant Hill and the door of the Resource Conservation District office) and
received two applications for the two seats, both incumbents.
Since the number of applications received was not greater than the number of vacant seats,
at its December 6, 2010 meeting, the IOC waived the interview process and approved the
re-appointment of the incumbents to new terms that will expire on November 30, 2014.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Appointees:

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

experience difficulties in achieving a quorum for their meetings.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
