SUBJECT: declare Vacancies on the Contra Costa County Merit Board
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
ACCEPT resignations of Maria E. Rivera, District 1, and Marianne Barnes Aude, District ll, from the
Contra Costa County Merit Board, DECLARE vacant the District I and District II seats, DIRECT the
Clerk of the Board to post the vacancies, and REQUEST the assistance of the Board of
Supervisors to work together to fill these seats as expeditiously as possible, as recommended by
the Contra Costa County Merit Board.
BACKGROUND
Can March 18, 2004, Gilbert Ruiz, Chair of the Contra Costa County Merit Board, received
correspondence from Merit Board Member Maria E. Rivera advising the Chair that she was
resigning from the Board, effective March 17, 2004, due to time constraints. Regrettably, at the
Merit Board meeting of April 13, 2004, Member Marianne Barnes Aude, also announced her
resignation. Complicating matters further is the fact that the District Ill seat has remained unfilled
since the incumbent, Walter G. Treanor's death in December 2002. These two untimely
resignations leave this five member board with only two members, rendering it disabled.
The Merit Beard is an avenue for County employees to seek recourse from actions of dismissal,
suspension, demotion, reduction of compensation, denials of flexibly staffed promotions and claims
of unlawful discrimination. As dictated by the Personnel Management Regulations, a quorum of this
board is three and without a quorum they cannot provide the mandated services to County
employees to hear, decide and act upon matters which properly come before it.
