RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Scott Gordon to the Board of Supervisors #4 seat on the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association Board of Trustees to a new three-year term effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Members of the Retirement Board receive $100 per meeting up to a monthly maximum of $500, plus reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses.

BACKGROUND:

On December 12, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved a policy on the process for recruiting applicants for selected advisory bodies of the Board. This policy requires an open recruitment for all vacancies to At Large seats appointed by the Board. The Board also directed that the IOC personally conduct interviews of applicants for At Large seats on several boards, committees, and commissions including the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA) Board of Trustees (Retirement Board).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

CCCERA is administered by the Retirement Board, an independent public entity responsible for general management of the association. With assistance from qualified professionals in the pension industry, the Board adopts regulations, policies and procedures that are relevant to CCCERA, for the purpose of benefiting the members. CCCERA is also governed by the California Constitution and the regulations, procedures and policies adopted by CCCERA’s Board. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors may also adopt resolutions which affect member benefits, as

permitted by the County Employees’ Retirement Law of 1937.

The Retirement Board comprises nine members plus one alternate. The Board of Supervisors appoints four of the nine members plus the alternate. On June 30, 2016, the term for one Trustee appointed by the Board of Supervisors will expire. At the direction of the Internal Operations Committee, staff initiated a six-week recruitment by issuing a press release (attached) on February 14th advertising the vacancies with an application deadline of March 28th. The County's standard advertising includes:

Posting a notice in the News Flash section of the homepage for the duration of the nomination period.
Promoting with a recruitment announcement on CCTV’s CountyNet bulletin board
Emailing to area print/online publications, plus KCBS Radio and KKDV Radio.

The recruitment garnered one application, from incumbent Scott Gordon. Based on Mr. Gordon's able representation since 2013, the IOC recommends his reappointment to a new three-year term effective July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2019.
