BACKGROUND:
Sadly, on May 19, 2012, District II Supervisor Gayle B. Uilkema passed away. Supervisor Uilkema's term of
office officially expires on January 7, 2013. Since Contra Costa County is a general law county, it is the
Governor's responsibility to appoint someone to fill the seat for the remainder of the unexpired term of office.
Under Government Code Section 24203, the term of office of the office of county supervisor is a fixed term of
four years. The "term of office" of a county supervisor runs with the office, not with the incumbent. The term of
office for the incumbent-supervisor expires on the same day that the term for the newly-elected supervisor begins:
the first Monday after January 1st succeeding the election. For this election cycle, that date is January 7, 2013.
The newly-elected supervisors will take office at noon on January 7, 2013.
For the District II Supervisor seat, there was a contested election held on June 5, 2012. The election to select a
county supervisor is held in June prior to the expiration of the term of the incumbent, per Government Code
section 24202 and Election Code section 1300. According to Election Code, if a candidate for supervisor receives
a majority of the vote (50% plus one) in the June election, the candidate is elected to office. (If no candidate
receives a majority of the vote, the top two vote-getters in the June election appear on the ballot in the November
election; the candidate who receives a majority of the vote in the November election is elected to office.)
Regardless of whether the new supervisor is elected in June or November, the term of office for the newly-elected
supervisor begins on the first Monday after January 1st succeeding the election.
According to the County Election's Office semi-official results of the June 5, 2012 election (website last updated
6/11/2012 5:54:12 PM PDT), candidate Candace Andersen received 59.69% of the votes for the Second
Supervisorial District seat.
Government Code section 1770 contains a list of events causing a vacancy in office before the end of a term. The
death of the incumbent is an event that creates a vacancy. Government Code section 25060 authorizes the
Governor to fill a vacancy that occurs after the mid-term general election. There is no legal deadline for the
Governor to take this action, and whether to grant the request is at the discretion of the Governor. There is no
statute that permits a supervisor-elect to automatically fill the vacancy without appointment by the Governor.
Regarding the process of appointment, the law does not specify a method of notifying the Governor of a vacancy
or requesting that an interim appointment be made. Governor Brown's office, however, has been notified of
Supervisor Uilkema's death. Furthermore, the Governor's appointment office has been notified of the semi-official
results of the Second Supervisorial District race.
At this time, the Board of Supervisors may wish to request that the Governor appoint Supervisor-elect Candace
Andersen to fill the remainder of the term of office of Supervisor Gayle B. Uilkema. If the Governor makes an
appointment, Supervisor-elect Andersen would serve until the next term begins on January 7, 2013.
In addition, the Board of Supervisors may also wish to review the Master List of Committee Assignments for
Members of the Board of Supervisors (attached) to determine whether any changes need to be made to cover
assignments until the time that Supervisor-elect Andersen begins her service.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District II Supervisor's seat will continue to remain vacant.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
