RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignation of Tom Bloomfield from the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District Board of Directors, DECLARE the seat vacant, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (RCD) director recruitment is conducted by the Internal Operations Committee, on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, 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). 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 7, 2017, RCD Director Tom Bloomfield resigned from the RCD Board (see attached). Therefore, it is appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to declare and post notice of vacancy and recruit for a replacement director.
