RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Bob Case (Concord) to the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District Board of Directors to a new term ending on November 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County cost.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (RCD) director recruitment is conducted by the County pursuant to a 1998 RCD resolution ordering that all future directors shall be appointed by the County Board of Supervisors in lieu of election (Public Resources Code Section 9314).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The mission of the RCD is to carry out natural resources conservation projects through voluntary and cooperative efforts. The RCD is a non-regulatory agency that works with individuals, growers, ranchers, public agencies, non-profit organizations and corporations to accomplish its mission. The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service provides technical support for the RCD's programs.

On November 30, 2016, the terms of office for three of the five RCD Director seats expired: President, Director 1, and Director 3. Terms of office are four years beginning on December 1. Staff opened a recruitment on September 2 for a five-week period that ended on October 7. The recruitment garnered four applications from the following

individuals, who were invited to be interviewed by the Internal Operations Committee on October 24:

Tom Brumleve, incumbent Director 1 (Walnut Creek)
Bob Case, incumbent Director 3 (Concord)
Jency James (Martinez)
Igor Skaredoff, incumbent President (Martinez)

Candidates Igor Skaredoff and Tom Brumleve were unable to attend the October 24 IOC meeting due to prior commitments. Neither of the other candidates attended the meeting.

On November 8, 2016, the IOC recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved the reappointment of Directors Skaredoff and Brumleve, but no appointment was made to the remaining vacant seat. The two remaining candidates (applications are attached) were invited to be interviewed at the December 12, 2016 IOC meeting. Based on our interview of Bob Case on December 12, the IOC recommends his reappointment to the Board of Directors.
