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 term for one At Large County Planning Commissioner will expire. The terms for planning commissioner seats are four years. On behalf of the Internal Operations Committee, staff recruited earlier this year (March-May) to fill the pending vacancy. The Committee received two applications and conducted interviews on June 9. As a result of the competitive process, the Committee recommends re-appointment of incumbent Richard Clark to the County Planning Commission.

This particular seat is appointed by the County Board of Supervisors after an interview and nomination process conducted by the Board's Internal Operations Committee (Supervisors Susan A. Bonilla and Gayle B. Uilkema). The term of the appointment is four years,beginning July 1, 2008 and ending June 30, 2012. The Internal Operations Committee will interview two applicants in a group interview. I have reserved time on the Committee's agenda to interview you as follows: Monday,June 9,2008,at 10:00 a.m. Room 101,County Administration Building 651 Pine Street,Martinez (Room 101 is located across the hallfrom the Board Chambers on the first floor of the Administration Building.) You should expect that the questions will cover such issues as, "Why do you want to be a member of the Planning Commission?", "What do you ithink are the most important planning issues facing the County?", "What would you like to accomplish as a member of the Planning Commission?". The Committee members are, of course, free to ask you any question they wish in order to better understand your views on County planning issues. Following the completion of the interviews,both of the candidates will be excused and the Committee will decide which candidate it wishes to recommend to the full Board of Supervisors for appointment. I expect the Committee to make its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on June 17. Each candidate will be advised in writing of the outcome of the interview.
