Information

Referral History:

In June, the IOC reviewed Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which 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.

Referral Update:

The Public Law Library Board of Trustees was established by State law and County Ordinance to maintain a law library in Martinez and 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.

Nolan Armstrong, the incumbent, has been nominated to fill a different Law Library Board seat that is recommended by the Chair of the Board of Supervisors.

Staff opened a recruitment for the Member of the Bar seat (see attached media release) and received two applications, from Richard Frankel and Dean E. Barbieri. Both candidates have been invited to interview with the Committee today. Applications, letters of interest, resumes, and letters of recommendation that were received are attached hereto.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

INTERVIEW candidates for the Member of the Bar seat on the Public Law Library Board of Trustees and DETERMINE recommendation for Board of Supervisors appointment for a one-year term expiring on December 31, 2018.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None.
