The Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA) is administered by the Board of Retirement, 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.
On June 30, 2017, the terms for seats #5, #9, and the Alternate for seats 4, 5, 6, and 9 on the County Retirement Board, will expire, creating three vacancies. (The term for seat #6 will also expire on June 30, 2017 but the Board of Supervisors already re-appointed Supervisor Candace Andersen to seat.) At the direction of the Internal Operations Committee, staff initiated a six-week recruitment by issuing a press release (attached) on March 3rd advertising the vacancies with an application deadline of April 7th.
For advisory body vacancies, our 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 ten applications; however, one applicant was ineligible, leaving nine candidates for the Committee's consideration.
The term of office for the vacant Board of Supervisors appointees seats is July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2020.
