RECOMMENDATION(S):

Re-Appoint Mark Ross to Hazardous Materials Commission City Seat #2 and appoint Edi Birsan to vacant Hazardous Materials Commission City Seat Alternate #2 for terms expiring on December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

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 to analyze and develop recommendations regarding hazardous materials issues with consideration to broad public input, and report back to the Board of Supervisors on Board referrals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The bylaws of the Commission provide that City Seat #2 and City Seat #2 alternate be appointed by the City Selection Committee pursuant to Article II (50270 et seq.) of Chapter I, Part I of Division I of Title 5 of the Government Code. The Contra Costa Mayor's Conference voted at their November 7, 2019 meeting to recommend Mark Ross to continuing serving in the City Seat #2 on the Hazardous Materials Commission, for a new term ending December 31, 2023. At the December 5, 2019 meeting, the Mayors Conference recommended that Edi Birsan be appointed as the City Seat #2 Alternate on the Hazardous Materials Commission for a new term ending December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will be unfilled.
