One of the Commissioners, John Gilkison, Jr. , has asked not to be reappointed to the Commission. Therefore, there are actually three vacancies to be filled at this time. On October 4 , 1988, the Board of Supervisors asked the Human Relations Commission to interview the candidates who had applied for these vacancies and make their recommendations to our Committee. On October 24, 1988, our Committee met with the Chairman of the Commission, Cy Epstein, and the Executive Director to the Commission, Fred Persily. Since one of the original members of the Commission, John Gilkison, Jr. , has asked not to be reappointed to the Commission, the Commission has asked that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution expressing the Board' s appreciation to Mr. Gilkison for his dedicated service to the Commission and our Committee endorses that recommendation. The Commission has interviewed all of the applicants and has recommended all of the female applicants to our Committee on the basis that the Commission needs more female members in order to maintain the balance which is required by the Ordinance establishing the Commission. This is consistent with the conclusion of the Board of Supervisors on October 4, at which time the Board indicated to the Commission that the two vacancies should be filled with women. Our Committee has reviewed the applications from the individuals who were interviewed by the Commission and is recommending the appointment of Dolores Sanchez of Richmond and Kate Quisenberrry of Pittsburg for two of the vacancies. This is also consistent with the Board' s direction of October 4 that of the two vacancies at least one be filled with an Hispanic and that both East County and West County required more representation. Four of the five Commissioners whose terms are expiring have indicated an interest in being reappointed and the Commission is endorsing their reappointment. None of the four has served more than two years on the Commission and our Committee believes that all should be reappointed to full three-year terms on the Commission. We are not yet prepared to make a recommendation to fill the third vacancy created by Mr. Gilkison' s request not to be reappointed although we expect to be able to do so next week.
