RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Neil Tsutsui as the Board of Supervisors representative (Appointee 1 seat) on the East Bay Regional Parks District Park Advisory Committee to complete the unexpired term ending on December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) Park Advisory Committee (PAC) was established in July 1974 to assist in the development of the District’s master plan. 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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, who had served since 2011, was appointed to the EBRPD Board of Directors. The current term of office will expire on December 31, 2018. The Internal Operations Committee initiated recruitment with the attached press release, issued on March 10th with an application deadline of April 7th. The Internal Operations Committee interviewed candidates Bruce Brubaker and Neil Tsutsui at its May 8 meeting and recommends Neil Tsutsui for appointment.

The applications of both candidates are attached hereto for reference.
