BACKGROUND:
The Fish and Wildlife Committee advises the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on fish and wildlife issues that may affect the County.

It addresses issues surrounding the enforcement of fish and game laws and regulations in the County.
The Fish and Wildlife Committee has ten regular positions, five nominated by individual members of the Board of Supervisors, four “At-Large” positions and one “Alternate to At-Large” position nominated by the Internal Operations Committee of the Board of Supervisors. The Internal Operations Committee considers applications from all interested individuals even when an existing At-Large member or an existing Alternate to At-Large member seeks reappointment. The Internal Operations Committee requests recommendations from the Fish and Wildlife Committee on appointments to At-Large and Alternate to At-Large positions.
Supervisor Andersen is pleased with the work that Ms. Heckly has been doing on the Fish & Wildlife Committee and would like her to continue for another term.

The seat will become vacant.
