Referral History:

In June 2014, 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 At Large seats on the following bodies: Retirement Board, Fire Advisory Commission, Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Treasury Oversight Committee, Airport Land Use Commission, and the Fish & Wildlife Committee; and that screening and nomination fill At Large seats on all other eligible bodies would be delegated each body or a subcommittee thereof.

Referral Update:

The Treasury Oversight Committee is responsible for reviewing the County's investment policy, monitoring the performance of County investments, and reporting to the Board of Supervisors. The Committee is composed of seven statutory members and three alternates: County Superintendent of Schools or designee, a representative and an alternate of the Board of Supervisors or their designees, one representative and one alternate elected by a majority of the school and community college districts; one representative and one alternate elected by a majority of the special districts, three public members nominated by the County Treasurer and confirmed by the Board.

The BOS Representative seat was recently vacated with the resignation of longstanding member and former County Auditor-Controller Don Bouchet. The current term expiration for this seat is April 30, 2020.
