BACKGROUND:

County Connection was formed in 1980 as a Joint Powers Agency under the legal name The Central Contra Costa Transit Authority. Today County Connection provides fixed-route and paratransit bus service throughout the communities of Central Contra Costa County. The County Connection Advisory Committee meets bi-monthly to review, analyze, and advise the County Connection Board of Directors on issues and policies relating to fixed-route and paratransit bus service. Committee members also act as a citizen liaison from the represented jurisdictions.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County Representative seat on the County Connection Advisory Committee has been vacant for many years. At the direction of the Internal Operations Committee, staff initiated a four-week recruitment by

issuing a press release (attached) on April 2nd advertising the vacancy, with an application deadline of April 26th.

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 one application from a well-qualified candidate, Marjorie McWee. The Internal Operations Committee, on May 13, reviewed the qualifications of Ms. McWee and, today, recommends her appointment to complete the unexpired term ending on June 30, 2019 and to a new two-year term of July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2021.
