FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Fish & Wildlife Committee was established by the Board of Supervisors in December 1994 to advise the Board on fish and wildlife issues, make recommendations for the expenditure of funds from the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund, and to address issues surrounding the enforcement of fish and game laws and regulations of the County. The Committee comprises ten members: one nominated by each County Supervisor, four At Large seats, and one At Large Alternate seat. Seat terms were recently converted from two to four years. The Internal Operations Committee (IOC) conducts interviews for the At Large and At Large Alternate seats.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 31, 2016, the terms for the At Large #3 and #4 seats will expire. The Conservation & Development Department recruited for applicants as described in the attached transmittal memo. Six applications were received and are attached hereto along with a report from the Fish & Wildlife Committee staff.

On December 12, the IOC interviewed the following six candidates for the two pending vacancies:

Scott Cashen (Walnut Creek)
Edmond Linscheid (Orinda)
Joshua Porter (Kensington)
Heather Rosmarin (Pleasant Hill)
Jeffrey Skinner, incumbent (Martinez)
Rodney Smith (Danville)

At the conclusion of the interviews, the IOC decided to recommend Heather Rosmarin and Jeffrrey Skinner for appointment to the two seats.
