RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Neil Tsutsui to the Board of Supervisors Appointee seat on the East Bay Regional Parks District Park Advisory Committee for a new two-year term that will expire on December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. EBRPD Park Advisory Committee members are not compensated.

BACKGROUND:

The Park Advisory Committee (PAC) is a 21-member citizens' advisory group appointed by the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors. Candidates are nominated by individual Park District Board members and a variety of other public entities, such as the Mayors' Conference, Board of Supervisors, and Special District Chapters of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The PAC studies issues and makes recommendations and comments on a spectrum of policy issues, such as grazing, dogs, horses and bikes in parks, the Park District budget, naming park facilities, park land use plans, new concessions, and more. Members are appointed for two-year terms and may serve a total of four consecutive terms, or eight years. Meetings are held monthly in Oakland.

In May 2017, Neil Tsutsui (El Cerrito) was appointed to the Board of Supervisors Appointee seat to complete the unexpired term of the seat vacated by Colin Coffey, when he was appointed to the EBRPD Board of Directors. Mr. Tsutsui was reappointed to a second term on January 1, 2019 that will expire on December 31, 2020.

Staff initiated a four-week recruitment with the attached press release on September 25, 2020. Two applications were received, but one applicant later withdrew his application.

At its November 9, 2020 meeting, the Board's Internal Operations Committee reviewed and approved Mr. Tsutsui's reappointment.
