Information

Referral History:

↵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 East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) Park Advisory Committee (PAC).

Referral Update:

East Bay Regional Parks District Park Advisory Committee
The Park Advisory Committee (PAC) is a 21-member citizens' advisory group appointed by the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors. Candidates are nominated by individual Park District Board members and a variety of other public entities, such as the Mayors' Conference, Board of Supervisors, and Special District Chapters of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

The PAC studies issues and makes recommendations and comments on a spectrum of policy issues, such as grazing, dogs, horses and bikes in parks, the Park District budget, naming park facilities, park land use plans, new concessions, and more. Members are appointed for two-year terms and may serve a total of four consecutive terms, or eight years. Meetings are held monthly in Oakland.

The Board of Supervisors Appointee seat was recently vacated when incumbent Colin Coffey was appointed to the EBRPD Board of Directors. The current term of office will expire on December 31, 2018. Staff initiated recruitment with the attached press release, issued on March 10th with an application deadline of April 7th. The recruitment garnered two applications:

Bruce Brubaker
Neil Tsutsui

INTERVIEW candidates for the pending vacant seat on the East Bay Regional Parks District Park Advisory Committee and determine recommendation for Board of Supervisors consideration on May 23.

Fiscal Impact (if any):
