RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Lorena Castillo (Martinez) to the Director 1 seat on the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District Board of Directors to complete the unexpired term ending on November 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County cost.

BACKGROUND:

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). RCD nominations are normally reviewed by the Internal Operations Committee for recommendation to the Board of Supervisors; however, the IOC is not scheduled to meet again until September, necessitating a staff recommendation directly to the Board.  

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
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.   
  
Due to the resignation of Tom Brumleve, once vacancy exists on the RCD board. The RCD board has nominated Lorena Castillo (Martinez) for appointment to the Director 1 seat to complete the unexpired term ending on November 30, 2020. The current RCD board is composed by:
  • Igor Skaredoff
  • Renee Fernandez-Lipp
  • Walter Pease
  • Bethallyn Black
  
Ms. Castillo's application and the RCD's resolution of nomination are attached for reference.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board not approve the appointment, the RCD would not have full representation at its next board meeting on August 20, 2019.
