RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Nolan Armstrong to the Member of the Bar seat on the Law Library Board of Trustees to complete the unexpired term ending on December 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

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 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 that screening and nomination fill At Large seats on all other eligible bodies would be delegated each body or a subcommittee thereof.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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.

On February 9, the IOC approved the nomination of Nolan Armstrong to the Member of the Bar seat. The Law Librarian recruited for the seat and received interest only from Mr. Armstrong, whose resume is attached for reference.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board of Supervisors elect not to approve the nomination, the County will continue to be underrepresented on the Law Library Board of Trustees until a new nomination can be made.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
