RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Walter Pease and Bethallyn Black to the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District Board of Directors to new four year terms expiring on November 30, 2022.

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, 2018, the terms of office for two of the five RCD Director seats expired: Directors 2 and 4. Consequently, the current sitting RCD members are:

Igor Skaredoff (Martinez)
Tom Brumleve (Walnut Creek)
Tom Bloomfield (Brentwood)

Two Director seats remain vacant. Terms of office are four years beginning on December 1.

Following a five-week recruitment, no applications were received. However, the District advised the IOC that the incumbents wish to continue serving and the District Board has nominated by resolution (attached) Walter Pease and Bethallyn Black for reappointment, which was approved by the IOC on December 10, 2018.
