BACKGR OUN D :
The Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB) is a 19-member board appointed by the Board
of Supervisors since 1986 to advise the Health Services Department on community needs. This community-
oriented Board seeks diverse representation from throughout Contra Costa County and includes community
members in the following representative categories: seniors, children/schools, business/industry, environmental
organizations, labor and consumers. We also have local professionals representing local voluntary agencies, the
medical provider community, and immigrant populations. These representatives provide broad community
knowledge and a wealth of experience and expertise in the health and environmental fields.
PEHAB’s mission is to identify community health needs and to make recommendations to the Health Services
Department on how to address these needs. In order to accomplish this, PEHAB strives to anticipate emerging
public health issues and advocates for policies, services, and programs that will improve the community’s health.
PEHAB recruits new members by sending out press releases to local media and notices to community-based
organizations, other coalitions and groups, and members of the Board of Supervisors. PEHAB members also
interview and recommend candidates. PEHAB is committed to diversity in its membership and residents of
Contra Costa with a broad range of community and health backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Candidates
are asked to submit a written application. A recruitment committee made up of current PEHAB members, with
the PEHAB executive assistant, reviews the applications and interviews potential candidates. The recruitment
committee makes recommendations of the candidates whose background, experience and interest best match
the vacant seats on the Board. Upon approval by the Steering Committee, these candidates are contacted and
invited to attend a Board meeting. PEHAB members then vote to approve forwarding these candidate’s names
and information to the Board of Supervisors via the Internal Operations Committee for appointment to PEHAB.
The Internal Operations Committee reviewed and approved the nominations for appointment at the August 13,
2012 regular meeting.
CON SEQUENCE OF N EGATIVE ACTION :
The appointments to the seats on the advisory committee will not be appropriately made or reflect the actual
intentions of the Board of Supervisors.
