My career in non-profit arts and culture organizations has spanned
more than 50 years. More than half of that time has been in public-
private partnerships for museums, historic preservation, and
wildlife conservation organizataions. I have served on several
theater and museum boards of directors. As a consultant, I have
worked with theaters, museums, and other arts and culture
organizations. I am a descendant of pioneer ranching families in
Danville (Baldwin) and San Ramon (Cox) and am committed to
ensuring that Contra Costa County is a vibrant and healthy place
to live.

I am very interested in helping foster arts in my community, and
serving on a steering committee for the Arts for the County would
be a postive way to contribute. I have a robust background in the
arts and know a lot of artists in Contra Costa and surounding Bay
Area communities. I have served on the arts advisory board in the
past (Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County).
Aadditionally, I am a member of NorCalPaan (Northern California

I have working with Pittsburg Arts
and Community Foundation since
2012 in both volunteer and paid
positions, as an instructor, program
supervisor, and grant writer. I have
also volunteered for other non arts-
related organizations such as food
banks, schools, and local businesses.
I would like to serve on the steering committee for our county as
we work together to develop a cohesive plan for the arts, because
I believe the arts are necessary in order for people to experience
the full spectrum of human existence, and the more people who
have access to the opportunity to participate in the arts on every
level, the better all of our lives will be in Contra Costa County. I
am a working visual artist who has lived in Contra Costa county for
the past 25 years. I started building my art career in 2009 while
living in Martinez, as artist in residence for Jelly Belly Candy
Company. Since 2009, I've made over 100 large scale works for
Jelly Belly at events around the U.S. and the world, as well as
numerous private commissions and a large body of work in various
other visual media. Since moving to Pittsburg in 2012, I have
become involved with Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation. I
am interested in scaling up my own involvement in support of the
arts, and I would bring a grassroots experiential perspective of
being a working artist in the county for the past 25 years to the
committee if selected.

As a resident of Contra Costa County for 10 years and as a
business owner of a public art & creative placemaking company,
I've witnessed the lack of public arts & culture investment in many
areas of the County. Through my business, we're making a
concentated effort to change that by adding more diverse public
artworks to cities that don't have much publi art and also by
building cultural experiences that igninte inspiration & excitement
in our county. I'm well-versed in creating strategies for public arts
projects that are realistic for each unique setting. I've also co-
founded a nonprofit arts organization that focuses on providing
artists opportunities to build their experience with public art and
directly work on projects that benefit the community.

The arts are a very important part of our lives. Conta Costa County
deserves an arts organization that can bridge the gap between the
residents and county arts groups that will bring quality arts
programming to the county. The Steering Committee is a
significant step in bringing needed cohesino to the county arts
organizations. I believe my experience serving on the San Jose Arts
Commission (over 20 years), Palo Alto Public Art Commission
(since 2013) and the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa
County give me a unique view on commissions/councils. Also my
serving on numerous grants panels on the local and state level
also give me insight into the inner workings of arts organizations.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 5.
Meeting Date:10/17/2022
Subject:Small Business Enterprise, Outreach, and Local Program Report for January through June 2022
Submitted For: Brian M. Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer
Department:Public Works
Referral No.: IOC 22/3 & 22/4
Referral Name: Small Business Enterprise, Outreach, Local Bid Preference Programs
Presenter: Cynthia Shehorn, Procurement Services Manager Contact: Cynthia Shehorn, 925-957-2495
Referral History:
Contra Costa County values the contributions of small business and developed programs to assist in soliciting and awarding
contracts to the SBE community. The Board of Supervisors adopted these programs to enable small and local businesses to
compete for a share of the County's purchasing transactions.
The Board of Supervisors has set a goal of awarding at least 50% of eligible product and service dollars to small businesses.
The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program applies to: (1) County-funded construction contracts of $100,000 or less; (2)
purchasing transactions of $100,000 or less; and (3) professional/personal service contracts of $100,000 or less.
The objective of the program is to award at least 50% or more of the total eligible dollar base amounts to SBEs. A Small
Business Enterprise, as defined by the California Government Code, Section 14837, Chapter 3.5 must be:
Independently owned and operated business, which is not dominant in its field of operation;
The principal office of which is located in California, the officers of which are domiciled in California, and which
together with affiliates, has 100 or fewer employees;
Have average annual gross receipts of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) or less over the previous three tax years, or
a manufacturer with 100 or fewer employees.
Reporting Requirements
It is the responsibility of each County department to track and compile the data for purchasing activities in order to provide a
countywide report to the Board of Supervisors.
The Internal Operations Committee has responsibility for evaluating the semi-annual reports and making recommendations to
the Board on program policies and reporting. The Board receives reports in six-month increments, with the last report
submitted to the Board for the period ending December 2021. Attachment A constitutes the report due for the period of January
1 – June 30, 2022.

Construction Contracts 0 0 0.0%0 0 0.0%
While the County did not achieve the 50% goal, this information shows the County directed more than $9.2 million in
qualifying transactions to SBE firms during the six-month reporting period, achieving a 28.3% award rate for
professional/personal services transactions and a 34.6% award rate for purchasing transactions. There were no construction
contracts reported in this period.
It is worth noting that the SBE participation goals of surrounding agencies are typically in the 20-25% range. By that measure,
Contra Costa County’s reported activity is just above that threshold for professional/personal services, and well above the range
for purchasing transactions. The following departments are to be commended for achieving 50% or more program compliance
this reporting period:
Professional/Personal Services: Clerk of the Board, Dept of Child Support Services, District Attorney, Health Services,
Library Administration and Public Works
Purchasing Transactions: Conservation & Development, Communications Media, District Attorney, Probation, Public
Defender, Public Works, Treasurer – Tax Collector, and Veteran Services
Of particular note, the District Attorney is to be commended for achieving a 100% award rate for qualifying professional
services contracts.
