RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. APPOINT Renee Fernandez-Lipp to the Director 3 seat on the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District Board of Directors to complete the unexpired term ending on November 30, 2020.

2. DECLARE vacant the Director 1 seat held by Thomas Brumleve and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County cost.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (RCD) directors are appointed 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.

On May 7, 2018, the Director 3 seat was vacated with the resignation of Bob Case. Today, we are requesting the Board to vacate the Director 1 seat due to the recent resignation of Tom Brumleve. Consequently, the current sitting RCD members are:

Igor Skaredoff
Bethallyn Black
Tom Bloomfield

The RCD board recruited for new directors and recommends the appointment of Renee Fernandez-Lipp to the Director 3 seat (see attached RCD Resolution). The RCD is currently recruiting to fill its remaining vacancy, the Director 1 seat.
