BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Library Commission was established by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in March 1991. The Commission was created to serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of Supervisors and the County Librarian. The Library Commission is comprised of 29 members:
• 18 members representing the cities/towns in Contra Costa County - these Commissioners are appointed by the city/town councils
• 5 members represent Contra Costa County - each member of the Board of Supervisors appoints one Commissioner and one Alternate Commissioner
• 5 members represent the Central Labor Council, the Contra Costa Council, the Contra Costa Youth Commission, the Superintendent of Schools, and the Friends Council.
Per Board Policy, Supervisor Andersen published an announcement regarding the volunteer opportunity. Two applications were received and reviewed. After meeting with the applicants, Supervisor Andersen felt that Mr. Swernoff would make an excellent addition to the commission.
