Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I view California's public law libraries as fulfilling three important roles. First, they are obviously resources
for practicing lawyers -- and particularly for solo practitioners and those in small firms, who have limited
library resources of their own. Second, they are resources for judges, court staff, and public agencies
located near the library. Third, they can serve an important role in improving access to justice among
underserved Californians -- a goal which members of the state judiciary, state bar, and Legislature have
all recognized must be a priority for the legal profession and legal institutions as a whole. I am applying to
the Public Library Board of Trustees in order to help the Library further those goals. I would look forward
to speaking with Library staff about their current user-base, and considering ways to maintain, and (where
appropriate) expand, the services available to those users. One step in that process might be to
undertake a survey of judges, bar members, and county and municipal offices to better understand how
those groups of users use the library, and the kinds of resources they may lack themselves that the library
could reasonably help supply. A further step could be to confer with community groups and public legal
services groups to find out ways that the library could better serve unrepresented litigants, in cooperation
with the Superior Court's Self-Help Resources Centers.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 5.
Meeting Date:11/08/2021
Subject:RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINTMENTS TO THE HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS COMMISSION
Submitted For: Anna Roth, Health Services Director
Department:Health Services
Referral No.: IOC 21/5
Referral Name: Advisory Body Recruitment
Presenter: Michael Kent, Ex Asst to Hazmat
Commission
Contact: Michael Kent (925)
313-6712
Referral History:
In 2013, IOC reviewed Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which stipulate that
applicants for At Large/Non Agency-Specific seats on specified bodies are to be interviewed by a
Board Committee. The IOC made a determination that it would delegate the screening and
nomination of Hazardous Materials Commission candidates to the Commission, for review by the
IOC.
The Hazardous Materials Commission was established in 1986 to advise the Board, County Staff
and the mayor’s council members, and staffs of the cities within the County, on issues related to
the development, approval and administration of the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan.
Specifically, the Board charged the Commission with drafting a Hazardous Materials Storage and
Transportation Plan and Ordinance, coordinating the implementation of the Hazardous Materials
Release Response Plan and inventory program, and to analyze and develop recommendations
regarding hazards materials issues with consideration to broad public input, and report back to the
Board on Board referrals.
Referral Update:
The term of Business seat #2 and its alternate will expire on December 31, 2021. The bylaws of
the Commission provide that Business seat #2 and its alternate be nominated by the Industrial
Association of Contra Costa County, screened by the Internal Operations Committee and
appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Industrial Association of Contra Costa County has
nominated Mark Hughes for Business seat #2 and Amy McTigue as the Business seat #2
Alternate. Their applications and letter of support are attached. The terms for these seats will
expire on December 31, 2025.
The term of the Environmental Engineer Seat and its alternate will expire on December 31, 2021.
The bylaws of the Commission provide for one representative of environmental engineering firms
located in Contra Costa County, nominated by such firms, screened by the Internal Operations
26
Committee, and appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Advertisements for the upcoming expired
seats were promoted via the County’s Web site, social media and other venues for five weeks.
The Commission received two applications. The Commission recommends re-appointing George
Smith for the Environmental Engineer seat and Ron Chinn for the Environmental Engineer
alternate seat. Their applications are attached. The terms for these seats will expire on December
31, 2025.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the appointment of Mark Hughes to the Business #2
seat and Amy McTigue to the Business #2 Alternate seat, and reappointing George Smith to the
Environmental Engineer seat and Ron Chinn to the Environmental Engineer Alternate seat on the
Hazardous Materials Commission, all to terms that will expire on December 31, 2025.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
None.

Subject:2021 YEAR-END REPORT ON INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REFERRALS
AND THEIR DISPOSITION
DRAFT
42
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The 2021 Internal Operations Committee (IOC) was composed by Supervisor Candace Andersen, who
served as Chair, and Supervisor Diane Burgis, who served as Vice Chair. During 2021, the Internal
Operations Committee (IOC) met eight times, worked on 14 referrals, made 13 reports to the Board,
interviewed candidates and made recommendations to fill 15 seats for certain advisory bodies whose
composition requirements must be monitored.
Our Committee appreciates the time and effort taken by the staff to the Board’s advisory bodies to recruit,
screen, and nominate individuals to our Committee for approval and appointment by the Board. Their
efforts in this regard allowed the IOC to focus more of its time on the following subjects:
1. Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Outreach Programs. The IOC accepted two reports from
the new Purchasing Services Manager, together covering the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021,
and reported out to the Board of Supervisors on September 21 and October 19, 2021. This is a standing
referral. REFER
2. County Financial Audit Program. Since 2000, the IOC reviews, each February, the annual schedule
of audits and best practices studies proposed by the Auditor-Controller. The Auditor-Controller’s Office
presented a report of its 2020 audit work and proposed 2021 Audit Schedule to the IOC on February 8,
2021, which the IOC accepted and approved, and reported to the Board on March 2, 2021. This is a
standing referral. REFER
3. Annual Report on Fleet Internal Service Fund and Disposition of Low Mileage Vehicles.
Each year, the Public Works Department Fleet Manager analyzes the fleet and annual vehicle usage, and
makes recommendations to the IOC on the budget year vehicle replacements and on the intra-County
transfer of underutilized vehicles, in accordance with County policy. In FY 2008/09, following the
establishment of an Internal Services Fund (ISF) for the County Fleet, to be administered by Public Works,
the Board requested the IOC to review annually the Public Works department report on the fleet and on
low-mileage vehicles. The IOC received the 2019/20 fleet report on March 9, 2021 and reported out to the
Board of Supervisors on March 23, 2021. This is a standing referral. REFER
4. Local Bid Preference Program. In 2005, the Board of Supervisors adopted the local bid preference
ordinance to support small local businesses and stimulate the local economy, at no additional cost to the
County. Under the program, if the low bid in a commodities purchase is not from a local vendor, any
responsive local vendor who submitted a bid over $25,000 that was within 5% percent of the lowest bid has
the option to submit a new bid. The local vendor will be awarded if the new bid is in an amount less than or
equal to the lowest responsive bid, allowing the County to favor the local vendor but not at the expense of
obtaining the lowest offered price. Since adoption of the ordinance, the IOC has continued to monitor the
effects of the program through annual reports prepared and presented by the Purchasing Agent or designee.
The IOC received two reports, together covering the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, and
reported out to the Board of Supervisors on September 21 and October 19, 2021. This is a standing referral.
REFER
5. Advisory Body Recruitment. 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 IOC made a determination that
DRAFT
43
it would conduct interviews for At Large seats on the following bodies: Retirement Board, Fire Advisory
Commission, Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Treasury
Oversight Committee, and the Fish & Wildlife Committee, as well as other advisory bodies as the need
should arise; and that screening and nomination to fill At Large seats on all other eligible bodies would be
delegated to each body or a subcommittee thereof.
In 2021, the IOC submitted recommendations to the Board of Supervisors to fill 15 vacant seats on various
committees and commissions. The IOC interviewed individuals for seats on the Affordable Housing
Finance Committee, County Connection CAC, and the Advisory Fire Commission to the Contra Costa Fire
Protection District.
In 2022, the IOC will need to recruit and interview for the East Bay Regional Parks District Citizens
Advisory Committee, Retirement Board, Fish & Wildlife Committee, Integrated Pest Management
Committee, Local Enforcement Agency Independent Hearing Panel (Solid Waste), Law Library Board of
Trustees, Planning Commission, Treasury Oversight Committee, and the Contra Costa Fire Protection
District Advisory Fire Commission. This is a standing referral. REFER
6. Process for Allocation of Propagation Funds by the Fish and Wildlife Committee . On
November 22, 2010, the IOC received a status report from Department of Conservation and Development
(DCD) regarding the allocation of propagation funds by the Fish and Wildlife Committee (FWC). The IOC
accepted the report along with a recommendation that IOC conduct a preliminary review of annual FWC
grant recommendations prior to Board of Supervisors review. On April 12, 2021, the IOC received a report
from DCD proposing, on behalf of the FWC, the 2021 Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund Grant awards.
The IOC approved the proposal and recommended grant awards for seven projects totaling $60,831, which
the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved on April 20, 2021. This is a standing referral. REFER
7. Advisory Body Triennial Review. Beginning in 2010 and concluding in 2011/2012, the Board of
Supervisors conducted an extensive review of advisory body policies and composition, and passed
Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which revised and restated the Board’s governing principles for
the bodies. The Resolutions dealt with all bodies, whether created by the BOS as discretionary or those that
the BOS is mandated to create by state or federal rules, laws or regulations. The Resolutions directed the
CAO/CoB’s Office to institute a method to conduct a rotating triennial review of each body and to report on
the results of that review and any resulting staff recommendations to the Board, through the IOC, on a
regular basis. The first phase report of the current Triennial Review Cycle was completed on March 8, 2021
and reported out to the Board on March 23, 2021. This is a standing referral. REFER
8. Animal Benefit Fund Review. On May 12, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year
2015/16 budget, including a referral to the Internal Operations Committee to review the Animal Benefit
Fund and, in March 2016, the Board directed that the review be made by the IOC annually to assess the
impact of the Animal Benefit Fund on the community and families. On October 11, 2021, the IOC received
the fifth annual report on the Animal Benefit Fund covering FY 2020/21 and reported to the Board on
October 19, 2021. This is a standing referral. REFER
9. Language Interpretation Services for Public Meetings . On March 26, 2019, the Board requested
the IOC to develop a policy on language interpretation services at the Board of Supervisors meetings. The
IOC considered this matter on September 9, 2019 and decided that the services could not practically be
rolled out until staff relocates to the new Administration Building. The IOC gave staff direction to report
back with additional information to assist the Committee in determining the best model for providing these
services. The IOC received follow-up reports on December 9, 2019 and November 19, 2020, and directed
staff to develop recommendations for a six-month pilot program providing limited interpretation and
DRAFT
44
translation services, with the intention that the County would initiate a pilot process, promote it, and
measure how extensively it is utilized. On March 8, 2021, the IOC received an extensive report from the
Clerk of the Board on language interpretation and closed captioning services, and subsequently made to the
Board related recommendations which, on March 23, 2021, the Board approved. TERMINATE
10. Cut the Commute Challenge. On November 3, 2020, the Board referred to the IOC the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) challenge to Contra Costa County employers to “Cut the
Commute”, to identify issues and determine the feasibility of accepting the Challenge. Employers that
accept the BAAQMD Challenge must commit to actively study and determine what strategies will work
best for their particular workforce to facilitate remote work opportunities. The BAAQMD has challenged
employers to extend remote work options by at least 25 percent (or 1-2 days a week) for employees whose
work requirements allow for that flexibility. The County was, at the time of the referral, engaged in
negotiations with the Labor Coalition on a Remote Work Policy. The IOC provided the Board with a status
report on May 18, 2021 outlining the many other employer and public service programs provided by the
County to encourage alternatives to the daily commute, as well as ongoing community planning for such
alternatives. The County in August 2021adopted a Remote Work Policy that provides opportunities for
remote work arrangements at the discretion of County department heads, but does not contain specific goals

11. Mental Health Commission Bylaws Changes. In the early spring of 2021, the Executive
Committee of the Mental Health Commission (MHC) discussed the fact that its Bylaws were not consistent
with the current practices of how members of the Board of Supervisors appoint Mental Health
Commissioners. The Internal Operations Committee discussed the proposed amendments at its regular July
and September meetings and made additional changes to the amendments proposed by the MHC. Following
several meetings at which the appointment process was further examined and discussed, the IOC
recommended to the Board changes to the MHC bylaws pertaining to meeting attendance and member
recruitment and selection, which the board approved on September 21, 2021. TERMINATE
12. Anti-Nepotism Policy Revisions. Ten years ago, the Board adopted an anti-nepotism /
anti-favoritism policy. The Internal Operations Committee reviewed the policy at its regular meeting on
July 12, 2021. The Committee determined that the 2011 policy was too restrictive and was unnecessarily
limited the applicant pool for County advisory bodies. The IOC recommended narrowing the exclusions in
the policy and the Board, by Resolution No. 2021/234 adopted the modifications. TERMINATE
13. Advisory Body Application Form Review and Update. The Clerk of the Board, on August 4,
received a request to add back the job experience portion of the advisory body application form and to
harmonize the PDF and Online application forms. Upon review and consideration, the IOC directed the
Clerk of the Board to modify the advisory body application form to additionally capture current employer,
job title and length of employment; relevant occupational licenses possessed by the applicant; if the
applicant is a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces; how long the applicant has resided/worked in Contra Costa
County; and whether or not the applicant has any obligations that might affect his/her attendance at
scheduled meetings. TERMINATE
14. Affordable Housing Finance Committee Bylaws Changes. In October 2020, the Internal
Operation Committee (IOC) received an update on Affordable Housing Finance Committee’s membership
status and directed staff to report back with draft bylaws that better aligned membership categories with
affordable housing finance experience. On March 2, 2021, the IOC recommended to the Board, and the
Board approved, AHFC bylaws designating a Committee of seven members representing cities, the County,
and the community at large, with membership predicated on experience in the field of affordable housing
finance, design, development, or property management (whether retired or active). TERMINATE
