Subject:NOMINATIONS TO THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION BOARD
OF TRUSTEES
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
on February 14th advertising the vacancies with an application deadline of April 18th. During the recruitment
period, four applications (attached) were received by the Clerk of the Board. On May 7, the IOC reviewed the
applications and decided to interview all of the applicants. Interviews were conducted at a regular IOC meeting
held on June 2, 2014. One of the four candidates was unable to attend due to illness and the Committee decided to
consider the applicant's candidacy on the basis of her application.
As a result of the interviews, the Committee decided to nominate incumbents Debora Allen, John Phillips, and
Jerry Holcombe for reappointment to seats #5, #9, and the Alternate to Seats $4, 5, 6 & 9, to new three-year
terms. The Committee makes no nomination for Seat #7, which for the last several terms has been held by a
County Supervisor.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the nominations, the Retirement Board seats will be vacated on June 30, reducing
the County's representation on the Board unless the Board makes alternative appointments.
