Information

Referral History:

Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (RCD) director recruitment is conducted by the County pursuant to a 1998 RCD resolution ordering that all future directors shall be appointed by the County Board of Supervisors in lieu of election (Public Resources Code Section 9314).

The mission of the RCD is to carry out natural resources conservation projects through voluntary and cooperative efforts. The RCD is a non-regulatory agency that works with individuals, growers, ranchers, public agencies, non-profit organizations and corporations to accomplish its mission. The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service provides technical support for the RCD's programs.

Referral Update:

On April 7, 2017, RCD Director Tom Bloomfield resigned from the RCD Board, and on April 25, 2017, the Board of Supervisors declared a vacancy and directed staff to recruit for a replacement director. Staff opened a recruitment on April 18, 2017 for a four-week period that ended on May 19, 2017. The recruitment garnered one application from Walter Pease, which is attached. Mr. Pease was invited to the IOC meeting today.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

CONSIDER recommending Walter Pease to the Board of Supervisors for appointment to the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District board of directors to complete the unexpired term ending on November 30, 2018.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None to the County.
