Subject:Re: [EXTERNAL] HMC appointments
Date:Monday, January 23, 2023 5:07:59 PM
Hi Michael,
Sorry for the confusion caused by my previous email.
As I understand the status of our appointments, Gabe Quinto did not apply for reappointment (member) , nor did Dave
Hudson (alternate). Ken Carlson (member) as you noted, is now a County Supervisor and his seat thus was vacant.
Thus, the three open seats were those previously filled by Quinto (member) new seat expiring 12/31/26, Hudson (alternate)
new appointment will be expiring 12/31/26, and and Carlson (member) remainder of term expiring 12/31/24.
My understanding is that the Mayors appointed Soheila Bana to the Ken Carlson seat vacancy that expires in December of
2024. Then they appointed Anthony Tave to the seat formerly held by Quinto, now expiring in 2026 with this new
appointment. Thus you should have 3 members now.
Thus the remaining opening is the alternate seat formerly held by Hudson which will eventually have a new appointment until
2026.
I hope this now makes sense. I can see that my earlier email was deficient in detail. Let me know if this now squares with
your records of our previous appointments.
As far as I know, Peter Cloven continues as an alternate with a term that will expire in December 2024.
Gary Pokorny.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for this information. Before I reach out to them, I want to make sure I understand who they are
replacing. The seat expiring in 2024 was held by Ken Carlson, who you know had to resign because he became a
County Supervisor. But I hadn't heard that his alternate, Peter Cloven from Clayton, also resigned. I have reached
out to him but have not heard back yet. Can you confirm that Peter has resigned? If Peter wants to stay on, then
one of the gentlemen you listed could fill the other seat.
The seat that expires in 2026 was help by Gabe Quinto and his alternate was Dave Hudson. My understanding is
that they both resigned and you need to both of those seats.
Thanks for clarifying.

I have been in a management role for the last 5 years of my career. This experience has given
me a lot of tools that can help on this committee.
Some of those tools include; working well with others, making tough decisions, planning,
scheduling, achieving common goals that may not always benefit everyone involved, public
speaking, speaking out against things to protect your employees and others, working in a
stressful environment, and being efficient at meeting deadlines.
✔
Before working as a staff member of IBEW 302, I spent almost 10 years working in the Oil
Refining Industry. This particular industry is always in the spotlight for their handling of
hazardous materials/pollution. I feel it is important to have someone on the committee that has
experienced these types of facilities first hand. I feel that I can speak to my experiences and
give insight from a first hand point of view. I look forward to making a positive impact for Contra
Costa County.

Hi Bill,
Just checking in to see if you have had any luck in finding a replacement for
Treston for the Hazardous Materials Commission.
I have talked with Terry and he has confirmed that he wants to stay as the
alternate. He has been, and will try to continue to fill in, until a permanent
replacement can be found.

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
Since 2016 I have lived on Marsh Creek Road, and have experienced fire close up several times. Each of
those times the skill and professionalism of all the fire personnel made an impression on me. I previously
lived in Oakley and knew about the then East Contra Costa Fire Protection District's funding challenges.
Living on Marsh Creek Rd I decided I need to be much more informed about the district. I started
attending (virtually) ECCCFPD board meetings, open houses and other community events of the district,
and have continued to since the annexation of ECCFPD into Contra Costa Fire. I would appreciate the
opportunity to serve the Contra Costa Fire Protection District in this capacity.
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
I have excellent communication skills, verbal and written. I managed an Orthotic and Prosthetic branch
office so I understand budgets, and operations required to run a business. I was also a patient care
practitioner for orthotic and prosthetic patients. So I have the ability to listen well and determine the needs
of others.
Would you like to be considered for appointment to other advisory bodies for which you
may be qualified?

Career Accomplishments
E-Commerce Exploitation: Identified opportunities and created business strategies for mass market
on-line distribution of geographic information targeted at business users years in advance of the current
wave of Internet ventures. These strategies anticipated the utilization of earth imagery and other sources
of geographic information (e.g., Google Earth) among current web based products and services.
Technology Product Management: As senior manager/executive within multiple companies,
provided guidance and strategic direction in creating computer-based products and services to penetrate
emerging markets. These efforts created cutting edge results including the first microcomputer image
analysis package based upon the IBM PC, the first commercial earth observation satellite, and the first
nationwide on-line geographic information service derived from aerial photography.
Strategic Marketing: Directed the market analysis and strategic planning for three separate
international (Germany, Japan, and South Africa) aerospace initiatives targeted at commercially and
government funded ventures to provide geographic information derived from satellite imagery.
Technology Partnership Creation: Acted as partner and catalyst in creating the team, including
Hewlett-Packard and Grumman Data Systems, which integrated the most complete land information

corporations that raised over $150 million for the construction of the first commercial high-resolution
satellite designed for mass market applications.
Technology Transfer: Negotiated numerous favorable technology transfer and marketing agreements
with major domestic and international companies that led to commercially successful products and
services.
Market Forecasting: Created the first demand driven analysis and forecast of emerging geographic
information technology markets, an important component of today’s information economy. Over the last
twenty years, this forecast has reliably tracked the growth in these computer-based applications.
Creative Technology Financing: Under a NASA contract, developed a customized project financing
strategy applicable to the International Space Station, which could be applied to any commercial space
venture or used for any type of capital-intensive technology initiative. Subsequently, formed a
partnership with Montgomery Securities to explore opportunities to identify and finance commercial
space ventures.
Government Liaison: Provided input to the Secretary of Commerce and Office of Technology
Assessment as well as testified before Congress on frequent occasions regarding government funded
technology commercialization specific to earth observation applications.
Media and Trade Communications: Authored numerous trade publication articles and conference
presentations related to the marketing of emerging technology products and services.

Meeting Date:03/13/2023
Subject:REPORT FROM THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER’S OFFICE ON THE SCHEDULE OF FINANCIAL
AUDITS FOR 2022
Submitted For: Robert Campbell, Auditor-Controller
Department:Auditor-Controller
Referral No.: IOC 23/2
Referral Name: Review of the Annual Audit Schedule
Presenter: Sandra Bewley, Supv Auditor/Acctnt Contact: Joanne Bohren 925-335-8610
Referral History:
The Internal Operations Committee was asked by the Board in 2000 to review the process for establishing the annual schedule
of audits, and to establish a mechanism for the Board to have input in the development of the annual audit schedule and request
studies of departments, programs or procedures. The IOC recommended a process that was adopted by the Board on June 27,
2000, which called for the IOC to review the schedule of audits proposed by the Auditor-Controller and the County
Administrator each December. However, due to the preeminent need during December for the Auditor to complete the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the IOC, some years ago, rescheduled consideration of the Auditor’s report to
February of each year.
Referral Update:
Attached is a report from the Auditor-Controller reviewing the department’s audit activities for 2022 and transmitting the
proposed schedule of financial audits for 2023, which are already in progress.
In past years, the Auditor's Office sometimes found a lack of adherence to several of the County's administrative requirements
for cash collection; discharge of delinquent accounts; inventories of materials, supplies and capital assets; and petty cash.
Noncompliance with procurement card policies, contracting policies and procedures, and MAC fiscal procedures have also
been among past findings.
Supervising Accountant-Auditor Sandra Bewley will present the 2023 report.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT report on the Auditor-Controller's audit activities for 2022 and APPROVE the proposed schedule of financial audits
for 2023.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
There is no fiscal impact related to providing input into the annual audit schedule. The financial auditing process may result in
positive and negative fiscal impacts, depending on the audit findings.

Meeting Date:03/13/2023
Subject:RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISPOSITION OF LOW MILEAGE FLEET VEHICLES
Submitted For: Brian M. Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer
Department:Public Works
Referral No.: IOC 25/3
Referral Name: Review of Annual Master Vehicle Replacement List and Disposition of Low-Use Vehicles
Presenter: Joe Yee, Deputy PW Director Contact: Joe Yee, Deputy PW Director 925-313-2104
Referral History:
In FY 2008/09, the Board approved the establishment of an Internal Services Fund (ISF) for the County Fleet, administered by
the Public Works Department. Each year, the Public Works Department Fleet Services 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
reassignment of underutilized vehicles, in accordance with County policy. The Board requested the IOC to review annually the
Public Works Department report on the fleet and on low-mileage vehicles.
Referral Update:
Attached for the Committee's review is the 2021/22 annual report on the ISF and low-mileage vehicles, as prepared by the
Public Works Department.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECEIVE the 2021/22 annual report from the Public Works Director on the Internal Services Fund and status of the County's
Vehicle Fleet.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
Reassigning underutilized vehicles would increase cost efficiency, but the fiscal impact was not estimated.
