BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On September 2, 1975, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution that created a Deferred Compensation Board of Control. From time to time resolutions have been adopted to change the membership of the Board of Control, including two At-Large members to be selected from the permanent employee ranks of the County of Napa, the Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and the Napa County Trial Courts.
On June 21, 2005, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution which provided that the two At-Large members of the Napa County Deferred Compensation Board of Control be selected from the permanent employee ranks of the County of Napa and all employer entities that have consented to be included in the 457 and 401(a) plans. Currently there is one At-Large position vacant on the Napa County Deferred Compensation Board of Control. The Board of Control reviews the applications and recommends appointments to the Board of Supervisors for its confirmation.
Staff recommends the Board approve the recommendation of the Napa County Deferred Compensation Board of Control to appoint Abraham Gardner to fill the At-Large vacancy on the Board of Control.
