RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE plan and schedule to convert the terms of the Contra Costa County Fish and Wildlife Committee (FWC) from two-year terms to four-year terms with staggered term expiration dates, as recommended by the Fish and Wildlife Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On December 1, 2014, the Board of Supervisors' Internal Operations Committee directed staff to develop a plan to convert the current Fish and Wildlife Committee two-year term appointments to four-year term appointments with staggered term expiration dates. At their January 21, 2015 meeting, the FWC discussed and unanimously approved recommending a phased-in approach as each of the current terms expire. The recommendations are reflected in Exhibit A, attached, and described below.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The District II and District III seat appointments have a one-time three-year appointment from February 28, 2015 through February 28, 2018, then four-year appointments thereafter.
The At-large 1 and At-large 2 seat appointments have a one-time three-year appointment from December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018, then four-year appointments thereafter.
All other seats would convert to four-year terms upon the expiration of their current terms.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Fish and Wildlife Committee would continue to have two-year terms with several terms expiring on the same date.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
