In 2022, Central San contracted with Avery Associates, an executive recruitment firm, to conduct a request
for proposals (RFP)forthe next District Counsel to succeed incumbent Kent Alm. The RFP document
was developed by Avery Associates and Central San's staff, General Manager, and District Counsel to
detail qualifications and requirements needed for each proposal.
The RFP was opened and distributed by Avery Associates on November 2, 2022. After a filing period of
about 10.5 weeks, the RFP closed on January 13, 2023, with seven proposals received.
At this point, the Board is being asked to provide direction to staff on next steps. A number of options are
available:
1. Develop an ad hoc committee to screen the proposals and determine next steps.
2. Delegate the authority to General Manager to screen the proposals and make recommendations for the
Board to consider
3. Hybrid of options 1 and 2
