RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Susanna Thompson to the Public Member #3 seat and Thomas Fenster to the Public Member-Alternate seat on the Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee for terms that will expire on December 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Board Resolutions 2020/1 and 2 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 Committee, Airport Land Use Commission, 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Advisory Committee was established by the Board of Supervisors in November 2009 to advise the Board regarding the protection and enhancement of public health, County resources, and the environment related to pest control methods employed by County departments. The IPM Committee has eight voting members as follows: two ex-officio members (Health Services Department and County/Unincorporated County Storm Water Program) and six public members (one County Sustainability Commission representative, one County Fish and Wildlife Committee representative, one At Large Environmental Organization representative, and three At Large Public Member appointees); plus one Public Member Alternate seat.

The following seats became vacant on December 31, 2022: Public Member #3, Public Member-Alternate and the Environmental Organization.

Attached is a letter from the IPM Coordinator transmitting the two applications received from the recruitment for the Public Member vacancies, and describing the recruitment process, and the current Committee roster. Note that an applicant for the Environmental Organization seat will be recommended to the full Board of Supervisors at a later date.

At its December 12, 2022 meeting, the Internal Operations Committee considered both applicants and proffers its recommendation today.
