INTERESTED IN SERVING ON THE LEAGUE BOARD OF DIRECTORS?
The League of California Cities welcomes nominations from elected officials interested in serving in six
at -large board positions (the at -large positions have two-year terms), or Second Vice President (one-year
term). All nominees for Second Vice President must have previously served on the Board of Directors.
The League Board of Directors consists of the League officers (President, First Vice President, Second
Vice President, and Immediate Past President), a representative from each of the League's 16 divisions,
a representative from each of the League's 11 functional departments, the mayors or designees of the
mayors of the 10 largest cities by population (listed as Large City appointments), and 12 At -Large
positions, at least one of which shall be a small city representative (under 10,000 population). City
officials serving on the National League of Cities Board of Directors also serve on the League of
California Cities Board of Directors for the duration of their term on the National League board (two-year
term). Travel expenses to attend League board meetings are reimbursed by the League.
The League Board of Directors typically meets on a quarterly basis at locations throughout the state.
Nominees are expected to make a commitment to attend all meetings. League officers may also serve as
members of the board of directors of the City/County/School (CCS) Partnership, which meets a minimum
of two times a year (other LCC membership may also serve on the CCS Board). Travel expenses to
attend CCS Partnership board meeting are reimbursed by the League.
After the deadline for applications has passed, the Nominating Committee' will review all applications and
informational materials and decide on up to twelve finalists for the six open at -large positions. At -large
Finalists, as well as all candidates for 2nd Vice President, will be asked to interview with the
Nominating Committee in person the morning of Friday, June 24, 2016 at the Hyatt Monterey
Hotel, Monterey, California. The at -large finalists and 2nd Vice President applicants will be contacted
by email and regular mail with their interview time and interview location. Those at -large candidates who
fail to become finalists will be contacted with our regrets by both email and regular mail.
At the board meeting directly following the Nominating Committee meeting, the board will vote to accept
the recommendations of the Nominating Committee in full or part, or reject the recommendations. If the
recommendations are accepted, the board shall consider final action (approval) on the recommended
candidates at the Annual Conference (October 5-7, 2016, Long Beach Convention Center). If the
recommendations are accepted in part or rejected, the Nominating Committee shall make additional
recommendations which the board shall consider either at the same meeting or in a subsequent special
meeting called by the President, no less than 30 days before Annual Conference. The final
recommendations of the Nominating Committee will be announced at the opening general session of the

DI
Driver shortage irkSI!Is
as bus runs are canceled
By Mark Prado
mprado@marinij.com
@MarkPradolJ on Twitter
A shortage of Golden Gate Tran-
sit drivers has meant a higher than
usual number of canceled runs,
leaving commuters to fume as they
wait for the next — and sometimes
crowded — bus while they show up
late for work
Transit officials acknowledge
the issue and say they are working
to remedy the problem, which is a
dearth of drivers. Golden Gate is
struggling to fill driver openings
created by retirements.
Jim Skidmore of Novato, a Route
54 commuter, is frustrated by the
situation.
"We hadk one day last month
where no buses arrived during
commute hours for over an hour,"
he said. "They must know this in-
formation at least an hour or more
before they decide to cancel it."
Golden Gate has stepped up its
efforts to get the word out about
canceled runs through social me-
dia and plans to get real-time bus
schedule information plugged into
511.org in the coming months.
It also is intent on hiring more
drivers. There are 266 drivers bud-
geted, but there are only 256 driv-
ing.
riving. A new class of drivers is grad-
uating and four more are expected
to be on the road by Monday.
"And we have more coming in
May and June," said Priya Clem-
ens, transit spokeswoman.
Also, on average, a third of driv-
ers are absent on any given day be-
cause of vacation, a sick day or ex-
tended leave. That means one of ev-
ery three drivers doesn't come to
work on an average day, transit of-
ficials have said.
The system aims to miss less
than 1 percent of its trips, but last
month the figure hit 1.41 percent.
As another remedy to the prob-
lem of unreliability, Golden Gate is

The district is issuing a mea
culpa in the form of a letter to its
riders.
"We apologize — our service has
not been up to our standards. We've
had an unusually high number of
trip cancellations, which has im-
pacted your travel. We know that
you rely on Golden Gate Transit to
get you where you need to go, on
time, every day," the letter reads. "...
We want to apologize for the occa-
sions
ccasions when we've let you down....
Most of our cancellation problems
stem from staffing issues. We're
working to turn that tide."
As a peace offering, the tran-
sit system is offering free rides
on Wednesday on southbound
morning commute trips on
Routes 4, 24, 54, 56, 72, 72x, and
74, which begin the route before

thinks the issues are hurting

"I notice less people on the
buses lately," he said. "Some may
be taking the ferry, but I think
most drive in, which kind of de-
feats the purposes of buses in re-
gard to pollution and traffic."

Public Rate Hearing: July 1, 2016 Recycling Program Rates
The Department of Resources Recycling & Recovery (CalRecycle) will present a Methodology
Workshop and Rate Hearing in Los Angeles*, on Thursday, April 28, 2016, to share and

and discuss proposed July 1, 2016 recycling rates for all recycling programs.
Survey Methodology Workshop
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 14549.5, CalRecycle will, through the Workshop,
consult with private and public operators of curbside, drop-off / collection, community service,

statewide commingled rate. The research and survey methods used by CalRecycle will be
presented, and questions, comments, and input will be addressed. Participants are also
encouraged to present ideas for alternative rate determination methodologies at the Workshop.
CalRecycle will also share findings from the recent "Bale Study" performed at Curbside, Drop-off
/ Collection, and Community Service programs. Findings from the Bale Study may result in
changes to research, survey, and rate -calculation methods for these programs.
Those who want to learn about the research and survey methods used by CalRecycle to gather
the data used to calculate statewide commingled rates, refund values, the number of containers
per pound, etc., are encouraged to attend the Workshop.
