RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Soheila Bana to the At Large Alternate #1 seat on the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Fire Commission.

BACKGROUND:

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 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Commission.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Fire Commission includes ten (10) seats that are appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors: Five (5) Supervisors District seats, Two (2) At-Large seats, and Three (3) At-Large Alternate seats.

The Advisory Fire Commission's purpose is to review and advise on annual operations and capital budgets, review Fire District expenditures; advise the Fire Chief on district service matters; and serve as liaison between the Board of Supervisors and the community served by the fire district.

The IOC recruited twice to fill the vacancy in the At-Large Alternate #1 seat for a term that will expire on June 30, 2024. In the first recruitment, five applications were received, but three of the five applicants neither reside nor work in the District and so were not eligible. The two eligible applicants were incumbents of the District II (Matthew Guichard) and III (Michael Daugelli) seats, whose terms will expire on June 30, 2021. Consequently, on March 8, the IOC directed staff to conduct a second recruitment, which garnered two additional applicants. The IOC considered the two candidates at is regular meeting on May 10, 2021. Vice Chair Burgis was absent. The candidates are:

Soheila Bana, Richmond (owns property in El Sobrante)
Gary Bussiere, Concord

Based on the candidate applications, Chair Andersen recommends, on behalf of the IOC, Soheila Bana for appointment to the At Large Alternate seat vacancy, to complete the current term that will expire on June 30, 2024.
