Subject:INTERVIEW CANDIDATES FOR THE CONTRA COSTA FIRE

Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: IOC 19/5
Referral Name: Advisory Body Recruitment
Presenter: Julie DiMaggio Enea Contact: Julie DiMaggio Enea (925)
335-1077
Referral History:
On December 12, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved a policy on the process for recruiting
applicants for selected advisory bodies of the Board. This policy requires an open recruitment for
all vacancies to At Large seats appointed by the Board. The Board also directed that the IOC
personally conduct interviews of applicants for At Large seats on several boards, committees, and
commissions including the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Commission.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Fire Commission includes ten (10)
seats that are appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors: Five (5) Supervisors
District seats, Two (2) At-Large seats, and Three (3) At-Large Alternate seats.
The Advisory Fire Commission's purpose is to review and advise on annual operations and capital
budgets, review Fire District expenditures; advise the Fire Chief on district service matters; and
serve as liaison between the Board of Supervisors and the community served by the fire district.
Referral Update:
The Commission is seeking to fill a vacancy in the At-Large Alternate #3 seat for a term that will
expire on June 30, 2022. Six applications were received, but three of the six applicants neither
reside nor work in the District and so are not eligible. The three remaining applicants were invited
to interview with the IOC today (applications are attached):
Clayton Laderer, Walnut Creek
Richard Nakano, Martinez
Adriana Tafito, Antioch

Contra Costa County District
RE: Fire Advisory Board
Dear Sir or Ma’am,
I am writing to request consideration for appointment to the Contra Costa County Fire
Advisory Board.
My background includes serving in the Fire Service as a Firefighter/Paramedic with
extensive prehospital care, 4 years as a Physician Assistant. Currently, I am working in
John Muir providing Urgent Care services and Electrophysiology Cardiac services within
Contra Costas County.
Recently, I served as the Clinic Supervisor for the Chevron Corporation Headquarters
where I oversaw all clinic operations from budgeting, training, compliance, program
management, etc. in addition to seeing patients. Provided trainings for communicable
diseases, country risks, etc. to requesting business unit teams. I have also consistently
endeavored to raise my knowledge and assist my community by taking on additional
training positions in my spare time, such as EMT, ACLS, CPR, First Aid, PALS, and
currently serving as a Lead Fire Instructor at Los Medanos College Fire Academy.
Above and beyond my knowledge, strong work ethic, and desire to serve my community,
you will find me the same gregarious type, hard worker, and someone who is easy to
work beside and a pleasure to interact with. I’m a “down to earth” guy who immensely
loves his wife and kids, community, has good friends, and who spends his down time
working on home construction projects, being a pilot, working out at the gym, and
anything else physically active.
I respectfully, request your consideration for this appointment.
Sincerely,
Clayton Laderer

Meeting Date:10/21/2019
Subject:RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE COMMISSION
FOR WOMEN
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: IOC 19/5
Referral Name: Advisory Body Recruitment
Presenter: Julie DiMaggio Enea Contact: Julie DiMaggio Enea (925) 335-1077
Referral History:
The Contra Costa Commission for Women was formed to educate the community and advise the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic
conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged.
The Commission's mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality
of life for women in Contra Costa County.”
In September 2017, the IOC held a discussion about problems that had been reported concerning
the Commission for Women including a spate of member resignations, inability to achieve a
meeting quorum, blurred responsibilities, disagreement over the Commission's mission, factions
and fragmentation, open meeting act errors, and loss of interest among some of the membership.
The IOC has worked with the Commission over the last two years to institute policy and bylaws
changes to address the issues that have hindered functioning of the Commission.
Referral Update:
The Commission for Women continues to face membership challenges. To assist the Commission
in achieving a quorum, we recommend the appointment of Michelle Hernandez (Concord) to the
At Large #9 seat with a term expiration of February 28, 2022. Ms. Hernandez's application and
resumé are attached.
Upon appointment by the Board, two vacancies will remain: one At Large seat and one District III
seat.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the appointment of Michelle Hernandez to the At
Large #9 seat on the Commission for Women to complete the current term expiring on February
28, 2022.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

Subject:2018/19 Animal Benefit Fund Report
Submitted For: Beth Ward, Animal Services Director
Department:Animal Services
Referral No.: IOC 19/8
Referral Name: Animal Benefit Fund PY Review
Presenter: Beth Ward Contact: Beth Ward (925) 608-8472
Referral History:
On April 21, 2015, during fiscal year 2015/16 budget hearings, the Board of Supervisors received
several comments from the public regarding the Animal Benefit Fund. On May 12, 2015, the
Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year 2015/16 budget, including a formal referral of this
matter to the Internal Operations Committee.
On September 14, 2015 IOC received a staff report summarizing prior year expenditures and
current fund balance of the Animal Benefit Fund. On March 28, 2016, the IOC approved a
proposal to expand the animal services donation program and reported out to the Board of
Supervisors on April 19, 2016. The Board Order directed the Animal Services Director to report
annually to the IOC on the impact of the Animal Benefit Fund on the community and families,
creating a new standing referral. The IOC has previously received two such reports for FYs
2016/17 and 2017/18.
During last year's report presentation, Animal Services Director Beth Ward advised the IOC that
at the current rate of expenditure, the fund balance would be exhausted in about two years, and so
more donations would be needed to meet expanding services.
Referral Update:
Please see the attached 2018/19 Animal Benefit Fund report.

It is our pleasure to present Contra Costa Animal Services’
(CCAS) annual report for the Animal Benefit Fund (ABF). This
report highlights the progress we’ve made in strengthening
and modernizing our ability to place and care for animals
in our shelters, driven by the generous contributions of
individuals, organizations and corporations in Contra Costa
County and beyond.
The Animal Benefit Fund was established by the Contra
Costa Board of Supervisors in 1988 as a way to accept
monetary donations from compassionate individuals who
want to help our shelter animals. All funds are used to
enhance the care and well-being of animals in our shelters
and to enhance programs of humane welfare and education
for the residents of Contra Costa County.
In FY 18/19, ABF funds were allocated to a range of
projects and initiatives geared towards enhancing the care
and enrichment of our animals, as well as supporting pet
owners in Contra Costa County. Propelled by the collective
generosity of over 3,000 donors who contributed just under
$108,000, CCAS was able to make significant improvements
in the areas of shelter enrichment, treatment and support
for animals.
Over the last year, the Animal Benefit Fund has allowed CCAS
to put ideas into action, the results of which are highlighted
throughout this report. To our donors, we say, “Thank You”
for believing in us and for providing us the tools necessary
to impact and save even more lives.
Behind every number is a story. This report highlights a
few of those that touched and inspired us, and spurred
us to action. For that, our thanks go to the community,
adopters, transfer partners, staff and volunteers who either
contributed to the fund, adopted an animal into their home
or organization, or who gave their time or talent to ensure
the best outcomes possible for the animals in our care. The
heart-warming results you will read about in this report are a
testament to the spirit of compassion, innovation and hard
work exhibited by CCAS in the last fiscal year.

In FY18/19, CCAS allocated $100,000 in funding to increase
opportunities for low-cost spay and neuter services in Contra Costa
County. Working with our collaborative partners Fix Our Ferals, Contra
Costa Humane Society, Paw Fund and Positively SAFE, the fund
provided over 1,000 low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and
cats that may not have otherwise been altered. In addition to the spay
and neuter services provided through this fund, animals that were
altered also received microchips, vaccines, and treatments such as
flea and deworming medications.

The CCAS/ARF Pet Retention Program has become an overwhelming success in keeping animals out
of Contra Costa County shelters. Through this collaborative program we were able to help over 200
pet owners keep or re-home their pets in the last fiscal year. In FY 18/19, $22,265 in Animal Benefit
Funds were utilized by this program to provide support for the 600+ pet owners who requested
assistance. Equally important, in FY 18/19 we were able to identify common themes that lead people
to surrender their pets, allowing us to bolster our existing resources in those areas and seek new
resources to address issues. Beyond the statistical successes enjoyed by the program, the real
measure of success can be found in the stories, photos and thank you cards we receive from people
whom we’ve helped keep their pet in their family.

moving and needed to desperately re-home her
dog, or risk surrendering her to CCAS. Through
the CCAS/ARF Pet Retention Program, we were
able to coordinate with Samoyed Rescue to find
a suitable placement for San San and keep her
out of the shelter. She has since found a loving
home and has never had to step foot into a
shelter.

The CCAS Bridge Program served as a mechanism to assist our transfer partners in adopting more animals,
particularly those with medical issues. In FY18/19, over $11,000 in Bridge Program funds were utilized in
assisting transfer partners in adopting special needs animals from the Martinez and Pinole shelters. In
December of 2018, with input from our Transfer Partners, CCAS made the strategic decision to discontinue
the Bridge Program in FY18/19 and re-allocate the remaining funds to Medical Assistance (Panda’s Gift
Program). This decision streamlined the process to more effectively help our partners in alleviating the
costs of medical and other services they incur as a result of pulling special needs animals from our shelters.

The Panda’s Gift Program was created to provide medical services to animals in need that have conditions
beyond CCAS’ ability to treat. IIn FY 18/19, $9,799 in Animal Benefit Funding was utilized for medical assistance.
The funding allowed CCAS to provide animals with acute medical conditions the urgent medical care they
needed. From providing urgent care to animals with severe trauma to performing complicated surgeries to
save the lives of animals in the hopes they will find their forever homes, the Panda Fund has made a huge
difference in CCAS’ ability to care for animals with severe trauma and conditions.

Over the last fiscal year, the Animal Benefit Fund supported an array of projects that sought to educate
and increase awareness about important animal welfare issues, such as the benefits of adoption and the
importance of pet licensing. Projects funded by the Education & Awareness Fund in FY 18/19 include: the 2019
CCAS Licensing & Microchip Awareness campaign, social media campaigns targeted towards underserved
communities, radio PSAs and the implementation of new, educational signage at the Martinez shelter. ABF
funds have allowed CCAS to take our marketing and public education game to the next level and ensure the
community is aware and engaged in our work.

This beautiful girl is Wanda,
who came to CCAS in April of
2018 and was described as
nervous, timid and highly dog
reactive. Wanda was a dog
with a lot of potential, she just
needed to work on building her
confidence and being more at
ease around other dogs. She
quickly became a project of
our enrichment team due to
these issues and the potential
she showed. To help Wanda
succeed, our team utilized a
range of measures to reduce
her stress and improve her
confidence, including visual
barriers to cover the other
dog kennels to help alleviate
her stress, working on human
and dog interactions, muzzle
training and providing her with
in-kennel enrichment activities
to keep her sane in the kennel.
Over time, Wanda’s behavior
steadily improved and she
was ultimately adopted by her
soulmate, a woman who was
familiar with the breed and all
of Wanda’s quirks. We were so
excited to receive an update
from Wanda’s adopter who
reports that Wanda, now named
“Rachel,” is doing fabulous and
that she enjoys her home and
her daily walks in the Presidio.

to take our animal enrichment efforts to the next level. While CCAS enjoys a 92% live release rate
for dogs, many of these dogs can be housed at our shelters in excess of 60 days. Providing a robust
enrichment program to alleviate the daily stresses dogs experience while in the shelter was a top
priority, and the Shelter Enrichment component of the ABF helped us achieve that goal. From in-
kennel enrichment, walks and activities, to trainings, evaluations and timid dog management, the
ABF funds utilized for animal enrichment made a significant impact in maintaining or improving the
behavior levels of CCAS dogs during their time in our shelters.

Contra Costa Animal Services sends a heartfelt thank you to the generous individuals, organizations,
and corporations who have given to the Animal Benefit Fund this year. Your contributions have
supported CCAS in providing better care and enrichment for our animals, increasing public services
to assist pet owners and community partners and improving live outcomes at our shelters. CCAS
is grateful for each and every contribution, funding that has allowed us to save and transform lives
in ways we could have never imagined. We simply could not do this without you!

DATE: October 16, 2019
TO: Internal Operations Committee
FROM: Susan Shiu, Director
Office of Communications & Media
SUBJECT: Update on Office of Communications & Media’s Public Outreach and
Engagement Activities and Priorities
Contra Costa County’s Office of Communications & Media (OCM) is pleased to provide an
update on its recent public outreach and engagement activities, successes, and priorities,
including those of Contra Costa Television (CCTV).
Major activities and successes this past year include:
New County Website Offers “Virtual Office”
Contra Costa County launched a new website in July 2019 that has a fresh, visual design that
offers a mobile-friendly “virtual office” for the public. The website www.contracosta.ca.gov
features new icons that can be clicked on to find information easily, a “How Do I?” option in the
menu for frequently asked topics, highlighted news items, and new Board of Supervisors, Permit
Portal and Tax Portal webpages to help the public find what they need more easily. A new
dynamic mapping tool called “Find My Supervisor” was added and enables residents to enter
their address to find their elected official. The County website increases usability with additional
ways to navigate to information and improves access to information about County services and
programs. Additionally, the website project strengthened and supported countywide
departmental collaboration.
Emergency Communications Coordination
The Office of Communications & Media plays a vital role in coordinating emergency
communications. As the lead Public Information Officer for the County, my role is to coordinate
information and public messaging for incidents. The Joint Information Center (JIC) may be
activated in an emergency to coordinate public information. Public information officers from
other County departments may be called to work the incident with some reporting to the
County’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) while others coordinate from their departments’

operation center or in the field. For recent emergency events in October, such as the refinery fire
in Crockett and the subsequent Shelter in Place order for nearby communities, and the response
before, during and after the PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff event that impacted over 39,000
residents in the Contra Costa County, this Office and County public information officers were
engaged to coordinate and share messaging to keep the public safe and informed. Emergency
communications is a multi-departmental and multi-agency coordination in real time to provide
confirmed information from official sources to the public. County social media accounts and the
website have proven to be important communications tools for emergency updates and resources.
During the PG&E power shutoff event, the County website had 140 million views.
County Provides Services at Block Party Event
The County Block Party event offered on the spot services, including voter registration and
library card registration. Organized by County public information officers and supported by
numerous departments, the 3rd annual event during the summer of 2019 drew over 800 people,
which was the largest block party to date. Previous events were held in Martinez and Walnut
Creek. This year’s Block Party was held at Richmond Civic Center Plaza. The plan is to hold the
Block Party in other parts of the County to reach and serve more and more County residents. We
have been contacted by other counties to learn more about our event.
Contra Costa Television (CCTV)
The Office of Communications & Media includes Contra Costa Television (CCTV). Its recent
activities include:
Closed Captioning Project
In support of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, CCTV worked to enable closed captioning
for the Board of Supervisors, County Planning Commission, and the Veterans’ Voices show, the
County’s original programming, on cable TV and online. Meetings can be seen live or recorded
on broadcast television and online via the County website and on the Contra Costa Television
YouTube channel.
Public, Education and Government Services, Partnerships & Collaboration
CCTV launched its sixth Public, Education and Government (PEG) channel as channel
management services continued to grow as a core competency. The Contra Costa County Office
of Education (CCCOE) and the City of Hercules are the most recent collaborators for the
development of PEG services in the County. The County’s other partners include the cities of
Antioch and Pittsburg (DeltaTV); Clayton, Martinez and Pleasant Hill (City Channel); San
Ramon, Moraga and Danville. PEG services continue to provide access to information and serve
the public’s interests.
Programming & Award Recognition
Veterans’ Voices is the original programming show CCTV helps to produce, direct, broadcast
and stream live on the YouTube Contra Costa Television Channel. It explores issues from a
veteran’s perspective. The Office of Communications & Media and CCTV continue to support
the Veterans Service Office. In September, 2019, CCTV went live with episode #62. CCTV also
won a STAR Award from the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and
Advisors (NATOA) for Sports Event Coverage of its live broadcast(s) of the Pittsburg Diamonds
Baseball, produced on behalf of the City of Pittsburg.

OCM and CCTV Services & Support
The Office of Communications & Media and Contra Costa TV continued to work with other
departments and agencies to provide service and support for media and overall communications.
Ongoing support includes the broadcast and recording in triplicate of Board of Supervisors
meetings and access through the website. Efforts this past year included live coverage and
streaming of County events, such as the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative
Forum, Public Works videos for employee recruitment, County Library videos to support literacy
and engagement with children and families, Census 2020 Steering Committee support through
outreach activities in multiple languages, including adding Census information in the Election
Voter Guide, and other projects and requests. Our wide engagement activities help us build more
internal and external relationships to support County outreach and communications.
OCM’s priorities include:
CCTV Facility Renovation
After 25 years, we moved forward with the CCTV facility renovation project, including
architectural plans, the placement of furniture for architects’ electrical plans, and initial
preparations for a physical move for some staff and how broadcast productions will take place
during construction.
Cable Administration
As the cable industry changes, OCM’s goal is to strategize how best to serve the public’s
interests through its Contra Costa Television, including digital distribution channels. Live
streaming to broadcast and its YouTube channel is already an important part of CCTV
operations. We continue to administer our operations, including a review and refreshing of
agreements with partners and clients for CCTV services, as appropriate.
Recently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a rule regarding the
implementation of Section 621(a) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 as Amended
By the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. The FCC rule took
effect in September, 2019. The primary effect of the rule would be to allow cable operators to
reduce their Franchise Fee payments to local government, using offsets based on in-kind benefits
provided by the operators. In the County, this would include the value of cable TV service to
County buildings and the value of the fiber interconnects that Comcast has installed between
several County buildings. The National League of Cities, US Conference of Mayors, and several
other municipal associations have filed a motion with the FCC to stay its cable franchising order.
We are waiting to hear from the cable operators. We are currently gathering data on the value of
any in-kind services provided by cable operators. PEG operations and channels are about serving
the public’s interests, which includes residents who may not have online access to information.
As OCM continues to strengthen its work to serve both the public and departments as
communications, broadcast and multimedia experts, our team looks forward to working with the
IOC, the Board, the CAO and departments to communicate with clarity and transparency so that
our efforts and programs are accessible and more widely shared for increased impact.
Thank you.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 8.
Meeting Date:10/21/2019
Subject:Resolutions on appointments and requirements for advisory and independent
bodies
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: IOC 19/5
Referral Name: Advisory Body Recruitment
Presenter: Jami Napier, Chief Asst Clerk of the
Board
Contact: Jami Napier,
925-335-1908
Referral History:
In 2011, the BOS approved Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498. Resolution No. 2011/497
pertains to advisory bodies, and Resolution No. 2011/498 applies to independent bodies. A
narrower set of policies is prescribed in Resolution No. 2011/498, as the bodies on that list are
independent or partially independent from the Board of Supervisors.
These resolutions provide a much-needed reference on various policies for advisory and
independent bodies, including the interview and appointments process. The Resolutions delineate
the appointments process for District and At-Large seats. For advisory bodies, the resolution
references key policies defined elsewhere, such as open meeting and ethics policies. Additionally,
the resolution aggregates various reporting requirements, such as the Annual Report and Triennial
Review. The policies outlined in these resolutions form the basis for key reference documents,
such as the advisory body handbook. Maintaining accurate reference and governing documents is
critical to transparency and public participation in County government.
Since adoption eight years ago, there have been changes in County policy that have affected the
general policy guidance communicated in Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498. Additionally,
the lists of applicable bodies in both Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498 have evolved, with a
number of newly established bodies, and several that have been dissolved. In addition to
conforming changes, staff suggests several policy changes intended to conform with, or improve
upon, existing practice.
65
Referral Update:
Advisory Bodies: Recommended Changes to the Resolution for Advisory Bodies
The list of applicable bodies has been changed to reflect bodies that have been newly created or
discontinued since the adoption of Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498. Staff also
recommends cross-referencing other applicable board policies, where possible, particularly for
Ethics, where many sources of rules apply. This will improve understanding of, and compliance
with, board policies. Lastly, staff recommends posting of the Maddy Book online in lieu of
distribution to the library’s main branch, and in addition to a public viewing copy on display at
the Clerk of the Board office.
List of Applicable Bodies: Updating the list of applicable bodies to account for newly
created or dissolved bodies.
Enhanced Section on Ethics: References existing board policies around ethics and conflict
of interest to improve definitions and enforcement.
Allow online posting of the Local Appointments List (Maddy Book): On or before
December 31 of each year, Clerk of the Board prepares the Local Appointments List, which
includes all boards, commissions, and committees that are appointed by the Board of
Supervisors. Resolution No. 2011/497 specified that this list would be available at the Clerk
of the Board or the main branch of the Library. Local Government Omnibus Act of 2017
changed the State law to allow local governments to either post a copy of the list on the
county website or designate the public library with the largest service population to receive a
copy of the list. This resolution would specify that the list was available on the County’s
website or at the Clerk of the Board's office.
Additional Recommended Policy Changes for Further Discussion
Additional recommended policy changes in Resolution No. 2011/497 (advisory) include
requiring all advisory bodies to post agendas online, and to change the appointments process for
at-large seats to conform to current practice.
Online agenda posting for advisory bodies : All advisory bodies will be required to post
agendas online, in addition to the physical posting requirements. The Brown Act web-posting
requirements do not uniformly apply to advisory bodies, and staff would like to clarify that all
advisory bodies must post agendas online.
Issues to be discussed:
Should all advisory bodies be required to post agendas online 96 hours ahead of their
meetings?
Where should the agendas be posted: on their individual sites, on the Public Meetings
Agenda Center, or are both options acceptable?
When should this practice begin? Upon adoption or at a date certain, to allow lead time and
training of county staff?
Changes to the At-Large appointment process for advisory bodies:
Under Resolution No. 2011/497, two appendices were included to indicate which advisory bodies
interviewed their own candidates, and which advisory body interviews were conducted by a
66
Board Standing Committee. In practice, however, the directions set forth in the appendices have
been altered each year at the discretion of the Board Committees. Each Board Committee sets
their Plan for those Scheduled Advisory Body Recruitments referred by the Board at the
beginning of the calendar year. In 2019, the Schedule for Internal Operations was set under
Referral 19/5, and each of the Board Committees sets its schedule using a similar procedure. The
advisory body’s recommendation would continue to be reviewed by the Board Committee, which
has the important role of making the nominations for all at-large seats to the Board of Supervisors.
Regardless of whether a Board Committee or another body conducts the interview, the
nominations for all at-large seats on advisory bodies are still reviewed by a Board Standing
Committee for recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors. Staff recommends clarifying
this practice through resolution. The Board Standing Committees would continue to review all
at-large nominations and conduct interviews at its discretion. Under the proposed policy, advisory
bodies will generally be allowed to conduct their own interviews for at-large seats, unless
provided other direction by a Board Committee.
Issues to be discussed:
Would the Internal Operations Committee prefer to include appendices that indicate whether
a Board Committee will conduct the interviews for at-large seats on a given committee, or
should this process be set when the Standing Committee sets their annual interview
schedule?
Independent Bodies: Recommended Changes to the Resolution for Independent Bodies
For the resolution pertaining to independent bodies, no substantive policy changes are
recommended. Staff recommends only conforming the list of applicable bodies, and changing the
Maddy Act posting to online, as allowed by state law.
At-Large appointment process for independent bodies:
For the independent bodies in Resolution 2011/498, appendices were included to indicate whether
a Board Committee or the independent body conducted the interview for appointment. Under
Resolution 2011/498, only two bodies are authorized to conduct their own interviews: the
Affordable Housing Finance Committee and the Workforce Development Board. Staff
recommends that the appointment process for at-large seats on independent bodies is reviewed.
Two main approaches exist. The first proposed approach allows the Board Standing Committees
to conduct all interviews for at-large nominations for all independent bodies, unless otherwise
specified or provided direction by a Board Committee. The Affordable Housing Finance
Committee and Workforce Development Board could continue to conduct their own interviews if
they are so specified in this proposed Resolution. The second approach would instead allow all
independent bodies, or a designated screening committee, to conduct their own interviews unless
they request the County to do so on their behalf.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT report regarding advisory and independent body policies;1.
DISCUSS whether all advisory bodies be required to post agendas online 96 hours ahead of
their meetings and provide direction on the following issues:
Where should the agendas be posted: on their individual sites, on the Public Meetings
Agenda Center, or are both options acceptable?
a.
2.
67
When should this practice begin? Upon adoption or at a date certain, to allow lead time
and training of county staff.
b.
DISCUSS whether to include appendices that indicate whether a Board Committee will
conduct the interviews for at-large seats on a given committee, or if the process should be set
when the Standing Committee sets its annual interview schedule.
3.
PROVIDE direction for the at-large appointments process for independent bodies, and
clarify under which circumstances a Board Standing Committee should conduct interviews
for at-large seats on independent bodies.
4.
DETERMINE whether to recommend changes to Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498 to
the full Board of Supervisors.
5.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
Negligible costs may be associated with staff time required to post advisory body agendas online.

conflict of interest.
E. Except for county officers and employees serving in an official capacity, all advisory body members
shall have specific terms of appointment as prescribed by statute or as fixed by the Board. Unless
otherwise specified, appointees shall serve four-year terms, and terms should be staggered to limit the
number of scheduled vacancies at any one time.
F. All Board appointees to advisory bodies serve at the pleasure of the Board and may be removed
during their terms of office by a majority vote of the Board at its pleasure, provided that such action is
consistent with conditions imposed by law.
G. An unscheduled vacancy occurs when an appointee leaves his/her seat before his/her term expires.
Unscheduled vacancies in seats on advisory bodies which are appointed by the Board will be listed on
the Board’s agenda within 20 days after the vacancy occurs. The Board will declare the positions vacant
and instruct the Clerk of the Board to post the unscheduled vacancies. The Clerk of the Board will create
and post the unscheduled vacancy notice within one business day of being instructed to do so by the
Board. The notice will be posted at the following locations: 1) in a conspicuous location at the Office of the
Clerk of the Board; 2) at all County library branches; and 3) on the Contra Costa County website.
Additional outreach may be implemented by the Supervisorial District offices, and/or the advisory body.
Pursuant to Government Code §54974(a), the Board will not make a final appointment for a minimum of
ten working days after the Clerk has posted the unscheduled vacancy notice. If the Board finds an

recommendations to the Board on issues of importance. The Board of Supervisors may dissolve an
advisory body at the Board’s discretion, consistent with conditions imposed by law. Commencing July 1,
2012, each advisory body shall be reviewed at least once every three years pursuant to a procedure
established by the Board in Resolution 2012/261.
77
B. When the Board creates an advisory body, the Board may determine whether or not the body should
adopt a conflict of interest code.

course of decisions
affecting this County; and
WHEREAS, a broad representation of existing concerns and views is desired; and

(hereafter “advisory bodies”) are adopted:
I. APPLICATION
A. The advisory bodies to which this Resolution applies are listed on Exhibit A, “Advisory Bodies”
attached hereto.
II. LOCAL APPOINTMENTS LIST
A. In accordance with the Maddy Local Appointive List Act of 1975 (Government Code Section 54970 et
seq.), the Board of Supervisors (hereinafter the “Board”) will include in the Local Appointments List
prepared by December 31st of every year, a list of all regular and ongoing advisory bodies that have
members appointed by the Board.
1. The Local Appointments List will be made available at the following locations: a) in a conspicuous
place at the Office of the Clerk of the Board; and b) on the Contra Costa County website.
2. The Local Appointments List will include a) a list of all appointive terms that will expire during the next

name of the incumbent, if any; c) the date of appointment for each filled seat; c) d) the necessary
qualifications for service in each seat; e) the date on which the term for the seat expires, if any.
III. APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE
A. The Board makes appointments to two distinct types of seats on its advisory bodies. The
following process will be followed for appointments to these two types of seats:
Type 1: Supervisorial District Appointments
Applications may be delivered to either the Clerk of the Board or to the District Supervisor’s office.
Applications received by a Supervisor’s office are to be sent to the Clerk of the Board, and a copy is to be
retained by the Supervisor’s office. The Clerk of the Board will ensure that the Supervisor has a copy of
all applications originally filed with the Clerk of the Board.
Type 2: At Large/Countywide Appointments
Applications are sent to the Clerk of the Board. The Clerk of the Board will distribute the applications to
the appropriate interviewer. With the exception of the Planning Commission, bodies may generally
79
conduct their own interviews of applicants, unless provided with other direction by a Board Committee.
When an advisory body conducts interviews, the body’s recommendation will be provided to a Board
Committee for further review. In all cases, the Board Committee decides which applicants to nominate for
full Board action.
B. A Board Committee or an individual Supervisor may select a screening committee to assist in
interviewing applicants for appointment. Membership subcommittees of Board advisory bodies may serve
this purpose.
C. The Board shall strive to maintain an ethnic, economic, and geographic balance to the membership of
advisory bodies.
D. Except where federal, State, or County statutes or regulations dictate otherwise, or in exceptional
circumstances, the following applicants generally should not be appointed:
1. An applicant who has a family member already serving on the same advisory body.
2. An applicant who would be repeatedly required to recuse himself from the body’s business due to a
conflict of interest.
E. Except for county officers and employees serving in an official capacity, all advisory body members
shall have specific terms of appointment as prescribed by statute or as fixed by the Board. Unless
otherwise specified, appointees shall serve four-year terms, and terms should be staggered to limit the
number of scheduled vacancies at any one time.
F. All Board appointees to advisory bodies serve at the pleasure of the Board and may be removed
during their terms of office by a majority vote of the Board at its pleasure, provided that such action is
consistent with conditions imposed by law.
G. An unscheduled vacancy occurs when an appointee leaves his/her seat before his/her term expires.
Unscheduled vacancies in seats on advisory bodies which are appointed by the Board will be listed on
the Board’s agenda within 20 days after the vacancy occurs. The Board will declare the positions vacant
and instruct the Clerk of the Board to post the unscheduled vacancies. The Clerk of the Board will create
and post the unscheduled vacancy notice within one business day of being instructed to do so by the
Board. The notice will be posted at the following locations: 1) in a conspicuous location at the Office of the
Clerk of the Board; 2) at all County library branches; and 3) on the Contra Costa County website.
Additional outreach may be implemented by the Supervisorial District offices, and/or the advisory body.
Pursuant to Government Code §54974(a), the Board will not make a final appointment for a minimum of
ten working days after the Clerk has posted the unscheduled vacancy notice. If the Board finds an
emergency exists, it may fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately, but the appointee will only serve on
an acting basis until the final appointment is made.
IV. FORMATION AND DISSOLUTION OF ADVISORY BODIES
A. The Board of Supervisors may form an advisory body for the purpose of rendering advice or
recommendations to the Board on issues of importance. The Board of Supervisors may dissolve an
advisory body at the Board’s discretion, consistent with conditions imposed by law. Commencing July 1,
2012, each advisory body shall be reviewed at least once every three years pursuant to a procedure
established by the Board in Resolution 2012/261.
B. When the Board creates an advisory body, the Board may determine whether or not the body should
adopt a conflict of interest code.
V. RESPONSIBILITIES OF ADVISORY BODIES.
A. Each advisory body:
80
1. Shall operate within its mandate as defined in the Board Order, Resolution, or Ordinance creating the
body and any applicable law, and may establish specifically defined objectives consistent with its
mandate.
2. Shall elect a chairperson and notify the Clerk of the Board of said selection;
3. Shall establish regularly scheduled meeting times and inform the Clerk of the Board of such schedule;
4. Subject to limitations resulting from statutory requirements, may adopt a set of operating rules (bylaws)
addressing attendance requirements for continuing membership, the election of officers, and the
establishment of subcommittees composed solely of current members of the advisory body. The
operating rules (bylaws) shall not be operative until they have been approved by the Board of
Supervisors.
5. Shall maintain necessary records including agendas and meeting minutes (records of action), and
ensure that these documents are made available to the public upon request.
6. Shall comply with by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code, §§ 54950, et. Seq.) and the County’s Better
Government Ordinance (County Ordinance Code Division 25.)

to Resolution 2011/376 and Resolution 2011/55.
