Information

Referral History:

Per IOC policy, the IOC conducts interviews for At Large seats on the following bodies: Retirement Board, Fire Advisory Commission, Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Treasury Oversight Board, Airport Land Use Commission, Aviation Advisory Committee and the Fish & Wildlife Committee; and delegates the screening and nomination fill At Large seats on all other eligible bodies to each body or a subcommittee thereof.

In November 2017, the County submitted an application to the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation District (LAFCo) to dissolve the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District (District). On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution amending its original application to LAFCo to include a plan for providing comprehensive health-related services within the District’s territory. As part of that amended application, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2018/436, which created the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee). The Board formed the Advisory Committee to identify health disparities within the District’s borders and to make recommendations related to a grant program to be conducted in the District’s territory. The Advisory Committee initially consisted of five members and its formation of the committee is contingent upon the dissolution of the District.

On September 12, 2018, LAFCo voted unanimously to dissolve the District in support of the County’s application. As part of that action, LAFCo imposed certain terms and conditions on the County as successor agency, including expansion of the Advisory Committee from five to seven members. The Board of Supervisors subsequently adopted Resolution No. 2018/543 (Attachment A) on November 6, 2018 expanding the Advisory Committee and making related adjustments to the terms of office for those seats. The current composition of the Advisory Committee calls for (1) one At Large seat to be interviewed and recommended to the full Board for appointment by the Internal Operations Committee.

Referral Update:

On October 18, 2018, the County opened a recruitment to fill the At Large seat on the Advisory Committee for a four-week period. Subsequently, the recruitment process was extended for an additional two-weeks to allow interested individuals additional time to submit applications to the County. The County received three applications seeking appointment to the vacant seat, which are included in today’s agenda packet for reference (Attachment B).

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

INTERVIEW the following candidates for the At Large seat for an initial two-year term to commence upon the dissolution of the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District and DETERMINE recommendation for Board of Supervisors consideration:

Dennis Gonzales (Oakley)
Victor Segura (Brentwood)
Stephanie Williams-Rogers (Brentwood)

Fiscal Impact (if any):
