Wade Finlinson presented the staff report and recommendations, particularly to add a
University of CA representative on the Advisory Committee. He explained that
duplicative language existed in the IPM Policy and Advisory Committee bylaws and the
recommended revisions sought to remove duplicative language and maintain language
in the most appropriate document. He gave an example of the need for policy updates to
address antibacterial agents that became mainstream due to COVID and are technically
pesticides but never previously considered under the IPM program. He explained that
the recommendation for making all seats voting seats stemmed from challenges in
regularly achieving a voting quorum, exacerbated by AB 2449, which regulates remote
meeting attendance. Achieving a quorum under the current construct requires
significant juggling and is inefficient.
Vice Chair Andersen asked for any history about why some of the County staff seats
were originally designated as non-voting. Wade posited that since operational staff could
effectively veto decisions of the Advisory Committee, they may as well be able to vote.
Chair Burgis was concerned about the proposed elimination of the Health Services Dept
seat, since public health is the focus of the policy. Wade explained that Health Services
prefers to serve as an informal technical liaison to the Advisory Committee and
committed to establish a protocol to keep Health Services informed of issues being
discussed by the Advisory Committee so that Health can provide relevant information
and advice.
The Committee unanimously approved the recommended modifications to the IPM

Maureen Parkes presented the staff report and recommendations, noting that the Fish
and Wildlife Committee is transitioning its grant schedule, at the request of the grantees,
to a calendar year schedule beginning in 2024-25. Thus, the IOC can expect to review
the next round of proposed allocations in November or December 2024.
The Committee unanimously approved the recommended allocations and also asked that
Danny Pellegrini be recognized formally for his many years of service on the Fish and
Wildlife Committee.

The Committee unanimously agreed to continue conducting meetings virtually from

County buildings and rooms in buildings, which are already governed by existing policy,
such as public walkways, benches, trees or landscaped areas, etc., for possible future
referral to the IOC.
The Committee also requested that the Commission for Women and Girls provide an
update on its activities at a future IOC meeting.

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
Living in and building community in El Sobrante for 9 years, I see the strengths and challenges of
transportation in the county. I am highly interested in using my experience to engage and discuss the
broader system of how we move people and goods. My areas of interest and concern are:
congestion/safety/calming of San Pablo Dam Road corridor, increasing carpool & carsharing, school
transportation/safety/calming, increasing EV charging stations and other alt fueling options. What really
ignited my interest was seeing the forward thinking from this agency on its adoption of a podcar network in
the Tri-Valley area and pilot in San Ramon. I look forward to learning and contributing to countywide
transportation and sustainability initiatives.

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I have often made use of public transportation while growing up in the East Bay Area. In addition to be a
motorist, I also make extensive use of our roadways on my motorcycles and bicycles. Travelling
throughout numerous counties by bicycle has given me a great deal of perspective about what works and
what doesn't for this growing mode of transportation. The growth in electrified scooters and bicycles will
further have an inpact on our road systems. The most interesting aspect to this role would be to learn
about challenges I hadn't thought of - to learn more about the board. I hope there is an opportunity to use
my problem solving skills in approaching the many questions I am sure the board addresses
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Meeting Date:March 11, 2024
Subject:2022/23 ANNUAL REPORT ON THE FLEET INTERNAL SERVICE FUND AND
DISPOSITION OF LOW MILEAGE FLEET VEHICLES
Submitted For:Warren Lai, Director
Department:Public Works
Referral No:IOC 24/2
Referral Name:Annual Report on Fleet Internal Service Fund and Disposition of Low Mileage Vehicles
Presenter:Ricky Williams, Fleet Services Manager
Contact:ricky.williams@pw.cccounty.us
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 2022/23 annual report on the ISF and low-mileage vehicles, as
prepared by the Public Works Department.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECEIVE the 2022/23 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.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Meeting Date:March 11, 2024
Subject:Report on the Auditor-Controller's audit activities for 2023 and proposed schedule of financial
audits for 2024
Submitted For:Bob Campbell
Department:Auditor-Controller
Referral No:IOC 24/1
Referral Name:County Financial Audit Program
Presenter:Sandra Bewley
Contact:sandra.bewley@ac.cccounty.us
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 2023 and
transmitting the proposed schedule of financial audits for 2024, 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 2024 report.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT report on the Auditor-Controller's audit activities for 2023 and APPROVE the proposed schedule of
financial audits for 2024.
Fiscal Impact (if any):

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Meeting Date:March 11, 2024
Subject:Development of a County Public Art Policy
Submitted For:Monica Nino
Department:County Administrator
Referral No:IOC 24/12
Referral Name:County Public Art Policy
Presenter:Lara DeLaney, Sr. Deputy CAO
Contact:lara.delaney@cao.cccounty.us
Referral History:
On February 6, 2024, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Internal Operations Committee the development
and recommendation of a policy and procedures governing placement of art on County property and public
right-of-ways. The Public Works Department periodically receives inquiries about placement of murals on
retaining walls and other public locations that may be within the public right-of-way or on public land or
buildings. While Public Works can provide advice on any such request for possible encroachment permits or
long-term maintenance discussions, the department is not able to advise upon the merit of or content included
in any specific art or art mural on these proposed facilities.
The term ‘public art’ is open to a wide variety of interpretations and has been applied to everything from
government-funded monumental sculpture to subway graffiti. It has been used as an umbrella term to cover any
art that is not housed in formal museums or galleries. It is important to have a public art strategy, which places
public art within the planning and development process and which is complementary to good urban and
building design and which clearly identifies how artists can engage with the environment.
Referral Update:
“Public art” can be defined as: Any visual work of art or expression of any type, including, but not limited to,
murals, paintings, sculptures, monuments, mosaics, memorials, works or designs in any medium commissioned
or approved/ accepted by the County and displayed in a publicly visible and/or accessible location on or within
County Owned or Controlled Property. All Public Art is government speech/property. Public Art is the creative
result of an individual or group effort and is typically either original or of limited-issue in nature as opposed to
mass-produced or intended primarily for a commercial market. Public Art includes works of a permanent or
temporary nature.
A well-constructed public art policy can result in benefits by:
·attracting investment from the private sector;
·making the County a more appealing place for businesses to locate;

·stimulating the local economy through creating employment and seeding and developing skills;
·encouraging tourism by giving an area a competitive edge in relation to competing visitor destinations;
·contributing to local distinctiveness by giving a voice to artists and craftspeople and enabling them to
utilize their creative skills and vision;
·increasing the use of open spaces, reclaiming areas and helping reduce levels of crime and vandalism by
creating a sense of ownership;
·humanizing environments, involving the community and creating a cultural legacy for the future; and
·introducing innovation and experimentation into the process of how we develop spaces and places and
create environments which meet the needs of the inhabitants and visitors.
Attached, for the Committee’s consideration and discussion, is a proposed scope of work, process, additional
resources and timeline for development of a public art policy.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
REVIEW proposed elements and scope for a County public art policy and PROVIDE direction to staff on the
scope, process, timeline, and additional resources suggested for development of such a policy.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
Potential fiscal impact estimated at $25,000 to procure the services of a consultant to facilitate the policy
development process.
