Environmental Justice Advocates Sought In Contra Costa County
The positions are volunteer-based and applications are due by 5 p.m., Sept. 16.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is seeking three volunteers for the county's sustainability commission. The commission consists of 12 members and five alternates. There's one vacant at-large member seat currently available, as well as two alternate seats.
They're looking for an environmental justice advocate who lives in a "frontline" or disadvantaged community to fill the at-large seat. The alternate seats are reserved for residents of District 3, represented by Supervisor Diane Burgis, which includes communities east of Danville and San Ramon boundaries, including Blackhawk and Diablo. Residents in District 5, represented by Supervisor Federal Glover, can also apply.
Meetings are infrequent, with only three scheduled for the remainder of 2019. They take place on the fourth Monday of February, April, June, August, October and December — and the next meeting is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 26.
