Information

Referral History:

On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors sub-committee.

The Contra Costa Commission for Women (CCCW) was formed to educate the community and advise the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and other entities on the issues relating to the changing social and economic conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged.

The Committee consists of 20 members and one alternate, including: five district representatives, fifteen at large members; and one at large alternate.

The five district representatives are nominated for a three year term by each of the five members of the Board of Supervisors. The fifteen at large members and one at large alternate are nominated by the CCCW membership committee and forwarded to the full CCCW. All nominated appointments to the CCCW are reviewed by the Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS) and referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval. CCCW terms are for three years and they are staggered across the membership.

Referral Update:

There are currently 17 seats filled on the Contra Costa Commission for Women and 4 vacancies. These vacant seats include the Alternate-At-Large seat and Member-At-Large seats #11, 12, and 15.

The Commission interviewed Deborah Son and Michelle Brown and believe they will be a great asset to the Commission. There are no other current applicants for seats on the Commission.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

CONSIDER recommending to the Board of Supervisors the appointment of Deborah Son to the At-Large #11 seat with a term expiring February 28, 2018 and Michelle Brown to the At-Large #15 seat with a term expiring February 28, 2017 on the Contra Costa Commission for Women, as recommended by the Commission.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

There is no fiscal impact.
