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) Alternate seats that are filled in the same manner at At Large 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.

On June 16, 2022, the IOC conducted interviews and considered the applicants listed below to fill vacancies in the At-Large #2 (area covered by the former East Contra Costa Fire Protection District) and Alternate #3 (Countywide) seats on the CCCFPD Advisory Fire Commission for four-year terms that will expire on June 30, 2026.

The Committee decided to nominate Brian Oftedal for the At Large #2 seat and Richard "Tom" Chapman for the Alternate seat, with instruction to staff that should Mr. Chapman decline the nomination, then the Committee will nominate Susanna Thompson for the Alternate seat. On June 21, 2022, Tom Chapman declined the nomination to the Alternate seat and Susanna Thompson accepted the nomination.

Attached are the applications of all applicants considered for the seats.
