Mitsutome 3375 Woodview Drive Lafayette, CA 94549 BACKGROUND: On December 12, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved a policy on the process for recruiting applicants for selected advisory bodies of the Board. This policy requires an open recruitment for all vacancies to At Large seats appointed by the Board. The Board also directed that the IOC personally conduct interviews of applicants for At Large seats on the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District's Fire Advisory Commission, the County Planning Commission, and the Board appointees to the County Employees' Retirement Board. On June 30, 2008, the terms for Seats 6, 9, and the Alternate member, which are appointed by the Board of Supervisors, will expire. Additionally, Seat 5, which represents the Board of Supervisors, was declared vacant on February 5, 2008 due to the resignation of Clifton A. Wedington. In February, the IOC approved a recruitment plan and schedule to fill the 2008 vacancies, and on March 14, staff issued a press release to advertise the current and impending vacancies. The deadline for applications was Friday, April 25, 2008. As a result of recruitment, six applications were received and determined to be eligible for consideration. Applicants were notified by mail of the Committee's group interview process and of their appointed interview times on May 12, 2008. The Committee interviewed five candidates on May 12; one candidate did not appear. Prior to the interviews, each candidate was advised of the significant time commitment required of Retirement Board members and of the important of disclosing any conflicts of interest. Each candidate assured the committee that he could fulfill his responsibilities if appointed, and is aware of no conflicts of interest. As a result of the interviews, the Committee recommends the re-appointment of incumbents Supervisor John Gioia and Paul Katz to Seats 6 and 9, respectively, the appointment of incumbent Alternate J. David Gaynor to Seat 5 (vacated by Clifton A. Wedington); and the appointment of Arthur Y. Mitsutome to the Alternate Member to Seats 4, 5, 6, and 9. Our Committee is most appreciative of the time and interest of all of the applicants and has sent letters of appreciation to each of the candidates not recommended by the Committee for appointment.

He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1961 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. In 1962 he was commissioned at the Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. His first assignment with the Navy was in Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training in Coronado, California. He served as Acting Executive Officer, Diving Officer, Ordnance Officer, and Special Weapons Officer. He was Officer-in-Charge of numerous overseas detachments, including one to Vietnam in 1964. Upon completing his required tour of active duty in 1965, Martin did graduate work at the University of Chicago, obtaining his Master's Degree in Business Administration with a Finance and Marketing emphasis. He postponed his entry into the business world and accepted an offer to be the Head Coach of the University of California's prestigious crew program, becoming, at 26, the youngest Head Coach in the country. In 1972 Martin entered the business world as a Commercial Mortgage Underwriter for the Rouse Company, followed by a Vice Presidency at Wells Fargo Mortgage Company. In 1978 he left to found his own construction/development company, the products of which won many awards, including the National Association of Home Builders Grand Prize for Best Custom Home in America and Best Single-Family Detached Project. In 1983 Martin purchased and reorganized a large rigid insulation manufacturing company in Oakland, California. He sold the company in 1984 and took an extended trip to New Zealand. Upon returning, he formed New Zealand Imports, Inc. (NZI) but soon was persuaded to re-enter the real estate business. In May of 1984 his wife took over NZI, and Martin joined Chevron Land and Development as a Senior project Manager with responsibility.for two of its largest and most prestigious developments: the 950-acre Hilltop multi-use project and the 1,700-acre Vaca Valley Corporate Center. In 1986 he was promoted to Vice President of Operations and Acquisitions for the Huntington Beach Company, a Chevron subsidiary. In late 1986 he left Chevron employment and founded MBM, a solely-owned construction, development and real estate investment company for his own account. Martin stayed active in the Naval Reserve as a fully qualified Special Warfare Officer. He retired as a Captain in late 1990 with 28 years of distinguished service, including four command assignments. Martin's outside activities include serving as a member of the Board of Mechanics Bank (Loan and Audit Committees); he has served as Chairman of Contra Costa County LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission); on the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region; and on the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission.
