SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
DECLARE vacant the East County, At-Large, Seat#1, currently held by Jatinderpal K. Hundal,
and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.
BACKGROUND:
The Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board is a 19-member board appointed by the
Board of Supervisors in 1986 to advise the Health Services Department on community needs.
This community-oriented Board seeks diverse representation from throughout Contra Costa
County and includes constituents tolrepresent community members in the following categories:
older adults, children and teens, business/industry, environmental organizations, labor, and
consumers. We also have professionals representing local voluntary agencies, the medical
provider community, and immigrant populations. These representatives provide broad community
knowledge and a wealth of experience in the health field.
PEHAB's mission is to identify Com I unity health needs and to make recommendations to the
Health Services Department on how to address these needs. PEHAB strives to anticipate
emerging public health issues, and advocates for policies, services, and programs that improve
community health.
PEHAB recruits new members by sending out press releases to local media and notices to
community-based organizations, other coalitions and groups, and members of the Board of
Supervisors. PEHAB members also recommend candidates. PEHAB is committed to diversity in
its membership, and Contra Costa residents from a broad range of community and health settings
are encouraged to apply. Candidates submit a written application and are interviewed by select
PEHAB members and staff. The Steering Committee then recommends the candidates whose
background and skills are the best match for vacant seats on the Board. Upon approval by the
Steering Committee, the candidates are invited to attend a PEHAB meeting. PEHAB members
then vote to approve forwarding these candidates to the Board of Supervisors for appointment to
PEHAB.
Ms. Hundal was asked and agreed to voluntarily resign due to her lack of attendance at six
PEHAB meetings since January 2005. Ms. Hundal gave her resignation verbally in a phone
conversation with PEHAB Executive Assistant Joanne Genet. A letter of resignation has been
requested from Ms. Hundal.
