RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Dean Barbieri to the Member of the Bar seat on the Contra Costa County Public Law Library board of trustees to a new one-year term that will expire on December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498 stipulate that applicants for At Large/Non Agency-Specific seats on specified bodies are to be interviewed by a Board subcommittee. The Resolutions further permit a Board Committee to select a screening committee to assist in interviewing applicants for appointment. Upon review of the eligible seats, the IOC made a determination that it would conduct interviews for the Member of the Bar seat of the Law Library Board of Trustees, among other seats.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Law Library Board of Trustees was established by State law and County Ordinance to maintain a law library in Martinez. The Law Library also operates a branch library in Richmond. The Board of Trustees is the governing body for the Law Library with the authority to determine personnel, fiscal, and administrative policies to fulfill the legal information needs of the community. The Internal Operations Committee annually reviews the appointment to the Member of the Bar seat, which term expires each December 31.

The Committee conducted a four-week recruitment for the Member of the Bar seat (see attached media release) on September 27 and received two applications, attached: from incumbent Dean E. Barbieri and from Joshua Klein. The IOC interviewed both applicants at its regular meeting on November 8, 2021. Mr. Klein decided to withdraw his application in favor of reappointment of the incumbent, Mr. Barbieri. The IOC is pleased to recommend the reappointment of Mr. Barbieri to a new one-year term.
