The Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA) is administered by the

regulations, policies and procedures that are relevant to CCCERA, for the purpose of benefiting
the members. CCCERA is also governed by the California Constitution and the regulations,

Supervisors may also adopt resolutions which affect member benefits, as permitted by the County
Employees’ Retirement Law of 1937.
On June 30, 2019, the term for seat #4 on the County Retirement Board will expire, creating a

As noted above, I am serving my second full term as a Pension Board Trustee and believe I am qualified
based on my experience, the performance of the CCCERA fund and the improvements the Board has
instituted and should be re-appointed for an additional term. I have an excellent attendance record for our
Board meetings, and am currently serving as Vice Chairperson of the Board. I previously served as
Secretary of the Board. When appointed in 2013, the Board was mired in litigation and hearings on
various policy issues, and it has taken some time but 5 years later we are now a much healthier
independent District/agency with a working collegial board and talented staff. Our employee pension fund
has now grown to over $9 Billion and is 90+% funded, a fund health metric that all of our Board members
are extremely proud of. I believe i have served successfully as an appointed fiduciary in the public
interest, serving to enhance the benefits of all active members and beneficiaries as is our duty.

EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION
RETIREMENT BOARD MEMBERSHIP
TIME COMMITMENTS,
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST,
FIDUCIARY LIABILITY
Regular Meetings
The Board normally holds its regular business meeting the second and fourth
Wednesdays of each month except in May and November, when the meeting scheduled
for the second Wednesday is usually moved to the first Wednesday of the month.
Meetings begin at 9:00 a.m. and most often end before 4:00 p.m. The agenda and meeting
materials are mailed 6 days before the meeting. Reviewing the packet and preparing for a
meeting takes up to 4-5 hours. Post-meeting time can vary from 1-4 hours.
Appointed Board members receive a stipend of $100 per Board meeting, regardless of the
length of time of the meeting. There is no reimbursement for time spent at seminars and
onsite visits.
Special Meetings
The Board holds special meetings to hear presentations from firms during a manager
search, to review results of the annual actuarial valuation, to meet with investment
managers to review performance, and to meet with advisors and consultants on matters of
particular interest, which may arise from time to time.
Typically there are 4-6 of these additional meetings each year and are typically scheduled
for a morning starting time. Preparation also varies depending on the subject matter.
Standing Committees
The Board currently has one standing committee (Audit), which meets at least once per
quarter.
Miscellaneous Time
Board members are provided with subscriptions to several pension and investment-
related magazines and periodicals that are intended to help the trustee stay informed on
events, products, regulations, providers, concepts, innovations, controversies, and people
as they relate to pension fund administration. Time to review these materials varies
depending on the extent to which the trustee feels the need for this information.
20
Travel and Training
The Retirement Board serves as fiduciary for the Association’s Trust. As fiduciaries,
Board members are held to the “prudent person” standard on investment decisions. For
this reason, the Board places a great deal of emphasis on continuing education of its
members. Trustees are encouraged to attend seminars and conferences dealing with
benefits administration and investments. These educational opportunities are regularly
placed on the Board meeting agenda. The association reimburses Board members for
expenses incurred in conjunction with any training specifically authorized.
The typical Board member spends from 7-12 days attending educational seminars and
conferences each year. This typically can be much higher for the first few years of Board
membership due to the learning curve for public defined benefit plans and investments.
On Site Visits
Board procedure is to perform on site visits with newly approved investment managers
before hire, and existing managers on a periodic basis. These visits include travel, both
local and across the country, and should be performed by all Board members on a
rotating basis.
Note: Travel expenses are reimbursed in accordance with CCCERA’s Travel Policy.
Conflicts of Interest
Board members are prohibited from marketing any investment, consulting or related
service to the Board or to the Boards of any other 1937 Act Retirement Systems. For
example, if a Board member is employed by XYZ Advisors, a firm that provides
investment or consulting services to institutional investors, it is not legal for that Board
member to market XYZ’s services to the Board, or any other 1937 Act Retirement
System Board. The same applies if the Board member is employed by XYZ Advisors and
markets, or provides investment or consulting in an ongoing relationship with the Board
or any other 1937 Act Retirement Board.
Board members are required to file disclosure forms each year. Such things as sources of
income for the Board member and his or her spouse, property ownership, partnerships,
investments, and gifts are required to be disclosed. All disclosure documents are open to
the public.
Fiduciary Liability
Trustees are held to a strict code of conduct in every decision they make as Board
members. Although infrequent in the public sector, a Board member can be sued for
personal liability arising from a decision or action by the Board. The Association
procures fiduciary liability insurance to cover the Board in its official capacity but is
precluded by law from purchasing similar coverage for personal liability of each Board
member. Such coverage is, however, available to Board members at a nominal cost.

order to safeguard both the interests of the general public and the welfare of inhabitants in the
areas surrounding the airports. The California Public Utilities Code requires and specifies the
composition of the ALUC, whose membership shall include:
(1) Two representing the cities in the county, appointed by a city selection committee comprised of the
mayors of all the cities within that county, except that if there are any cities contiguous or adjacent to the
qualifying airport, at least one representative shall be appointed therefrom.
(2) Two representing the county, appointed by the board of supervisors.
(3) Two having expertise in aviation, appointed by a selection committee comprised of the managers of all of
the public airports within that county.
(4) One representing the general public, appointed by the other six members of the commission.
The Internal Operations Committee conducts interviews for the two County seats described in item 2, above, and
makes recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for appointment. Seat terms are four years, expiring the first
Monday in May.
Referral Update:
The term of the BOS Appointee #2 seat expired on May 6, 2019. The term of the new appointee
will end on May 1, 2023.

Presenter: Marilyn Underwood Contact: Marilyn Underwood (925) 692-2521
Referral History:
On December 5, 2018, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2017-16 establishing a permit program
for specified non-franchise solid waste haulers. Section 418-2.018 of the Ordinance requires a
permittee to file with the County a performance bond of the type and in the amount set by Board
resolution. In addition, Section 418-2.020 requires payment of a permit fee established by Board
resolution.
Following adoption of the Ordinance, Environmental Health staff returned to the Board on
January 23, 2018 with Resolution No. 2018/31 to add a non-franchise solid waste collection and
transport permit fee to the schedule of fees for the Environmental Health Division, and Resolution
No. 2018/41 establishing the amount of $20,000 as well as other requirements for a performance
bond to be filed under Section 418-2.018.
The Board of Supervisors, on January 23, adopted the two Resolutions, however increasing the
performance bond to $50,000, and directed the Environmental Health Division to report to the
Internal Operations Committee in six months with information on the number of permits applied
for and issued.
On October 8, 2018, the IOC approved a recommendation to reduce the required performance
bond amount from $50,000 to $20,000 to encourage greater compliance with the ordinance due in
part to the lack of permits issued at the time. The Board of Supervisors approved the IOC’s
recommendation, adopting Resolution 2018/545 on November 13, 2018. Additionally, EH staff
were directed by the Board to report back in six months on the effects of the bond amount
reduction.

On October 8, 2018, the IOC received a status report from EH staff on the implementation of the waste hauler
ordinance and approved a recommendation to reduce the required performance bond amount from $50,000
to $20,000 to encourage greater compliance with the ordinance due in part to the lack of permits issued at the
time. The Board of Supervisors approved the IOC’s recommendation adopting Resolution 2018/545 on
November 13, 2018 thereby superseding and replacing Resolution No. 2018/41, reducing the amount of the
performance bond required to be filed and maintained by a non-franchise solid waste collection and transport
permittee from $50,000 to $20,000. Additionally, EH staff were directed by the Board to report back in six
months on the effects of the bond amount reduction.
The following Section B is a summary of the effects of the performance bond amount reduction.
B. Summary of the Effects of the Performance Bond Amount Reduction
EH issued the first non-franchise solid waste collection and transport permit on March 19, 2019 to JUNKCAT,
LLC. While JUNKCAT, LLC is permitted to collect all types of solid waste throughout the county to the extent

that another person does not have an exclusive privilege or right to collect that solid waste under a valid
franchise agreement, the operator mainly services West Contra Costa County.
More recently, EH staff have had productive conversations with local representatives from O2E Brands (parent
company of 1-800-GOT-JUNK) and anticipate receiving an application for a non-franchise solid waste collection
and transport permit from the Central Contra Costa County branch office in the near future. O2E Brands
representatives stated that the reduction in the performance bond amount was not a factor in their
consideration for a permit.
C. Ongoing Efforts
EH staff continues to attempt to engage with companies such as Junk Beez and Vets Move Junk (local
companies that have begun advertising to Contra Costa County residents) in an effort to inform these
companies about the requirements of the non-franchise solid waste collection and transport permit
program.
EH staff also continue to participate in both the Contra Costa County Illegal Dumping Think Tank and the
Alameda County Illegal Dumping Working Group as both groups have identified unpermitted hauling as
potential contributors to illegal dumping. There are currently efforts underway at both regional and
statewide levels to increase awareness of the potential effect unpermitted non-franchise haulers have on
illegal dumping. EH staff have been using these platforms to promote our permit program with the hope
that partnerships with other agency stakeholders will help encourage haulers who qualify to obtain permits.
EH staff continue to engage with incorporated communities (including the City of Richmond and the City of
San Pablo) in hopes of encouraging these communities to adopt municipal codes pointing to Contra Costa
County Ordinance 418-2 and establishing EH as the non-franchise solid waste hauler permitting entity within
the community.
EH will be adding a searchable database of permitted non-franchise solid waste haulers to our website to
give the public a straightforward way to search for permitted haulers. EH staff will once again reach out to
the Joint Powers Authorities and special districts throughout the county requesting they incorporate
language specifically targeted at the consumer in their publications with the intent of informing residents
within these service areas about the permit requirement and our searchable database for non-franchise
solid waste haulers.
EH staff will also be exploring the use of social media to continue to inform consumers and haulers alike
about the permit requirement.
