Referral History:

In 2013, IOC reviewed Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which stipulate that applicants for At Large/Non Agency-Specific seats on specified bodies are to be interviewed by a Board subcommittee. The Resolutions further permit a Board Committee to select a screening committee to assist in interviewing applicants for appointment. Upon review of the eligible seats, the IOC made a determination that it would conduct interviews for At Large seats on the following bodies: Retirement Board, Fire Advisory Commission, Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Treasury Oversight Board, Airport Land Use Commission, Aviation Advisory Committee and the Fish & Wildlife Committee; and that screening and nomination fill At Large seats on all other eligible bodies would be delegated each body or a subcommittee thereof.

Referral Update:

The Hazardous Materials Commission was established in 1986 to advise the Board, County staff and the mayor’s council members, and staffs of the cities within the County, on issues related to the development, approval and administration of the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Specifically, the Board charged the Commission with drafting a hazardous materials storage and transportation plan and ordinance, coordinating the implementation of the hazardous materials release response plan and inventory program, and analyzing and developing recommendations regarding hazardous materials issues with consideration to broad public input.

The bylaws of the Commission provide that the Business #2 seat be nominated by the Industrial Association and appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The term for Business #2 seat expired on December 31, 2013. The Industrial Association requests the Board of Supervisors appoint the current Business #2 Alternate member, Matt Buell, to fill the Business #2 seat vacancy. Matt Buell was appointed to the Business #2 Alternate seat on July 16, 2013. The term for the current Business #2 seat will expire on December, 31, 2017.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

REASSIGN Business #2 Alternate member, Matt Buell, to the Business #2 seat on the Hazardous Materials Commission to complete the unexpired term ending December 31, 2017.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None.
