BACKGROUND:

In June 2014, the IOC reviewed Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which stipulate that applicants for At Large/Non Agency-Specific seats on specified bodies are to be interviewed by a Board subcommittee. The Resolutions further permit a Board Committee to select a screening committee to assist in interviewing applicants for appointment. Upon review of the eligible seats, the IOC made a determination that it would conduct interviews for At Large seats on the following bodies: Retirement Board, Fire Advisory Commission, Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Treasury Oversight Board, Airport Land Use Commission, Aviation Advisory Committee and the Fish & Wildlife Committee; and that screening and nomination fill At Large seats on all other eligible bodies would be delegated each body or a subcommittee thereof.

The Fish & Wildlife Committee was established by the Board in December 1994 to advise the Board on fish and wildlife issues, make recommendations for the expenditure of funds from the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund, and to address issues surrounding the enforcement of fish and game laws and regulations of the County. The

Committee comprises ten members: one nominated by each County Supervisor, four At Large seats, and one At Large Alternate seat. Seat terms were recently extended from two to four years at the direction of the IOC. The IOC conducts interviews for the At Large and At Large Alternate seats.

Due to the resignation of the At Large Alternate 1 member, the seat is currently vacant and the term will expire on December 31, 2016. The Conservation & Development Department recruited for applicants as described in the attached transmittal memo. Six applications were received and one was later withdrawn. The five remaining applications are attached for reference.

Supervisor Gioia interviewed, on behalf of the IOC (Supervisor Andersen was absent), Rodney Smith, Dawn Manley, and Jill Wiseman, and reviewed the applications submitted by Elizabeth Brunkhorst and Scott Cashen, and recommends Dawn Manley for appointment to the At Large Alternate seat.
