Information

Referral History:

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 Advisory 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 Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board representative, one County Fish and Wildlife Committee representative, one Environmental Organizations representative, and three At Large appointees); plus one Public Member Alternate seat. Terms of office for the At Large and Alternate seats reviewed by the Internal Operations Committee have recently been extended from two to four years at the direction of the IOC.

Referral Update:

In November 2016, the Board of Supervisors abolished the Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB) as part of the Phase I Triennial Advisory Body Review. The abolishment of PEHAB leaves in question the disposition of the PEHAB seat on the IPM Advisory Committee: Should it be abolished, leaving 7 remaining voting members? Should it be redesignated and, if so, to what type of seat?

Attached is a memo from the IPM Advisory Committee seeking direction from the Internal Operations Committee, along with the current Committee roster showing the backgrounds of each member.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

CONSIDER future disposition of the seat designated for the Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board, which was abolished, on the Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

No fiscal impact.
