RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Audrey Comeaux (Richmond) to the General Public seat and REAPPOINT Tim Bancroft (Danville) to the General Public Alternate seat on the Hazardous Materials Commission to terms that will expire on December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

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 Committee. The IOC made a determination that it would delegate the screening and nomination of Hazardous Materials Commission candidates to the Commission, for review by the IOC.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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 hazards materials issues with consideration to broad public input, and reporting back to the Board on Board referrals.

The terms of the General Public and Alternate seats expired on December 31, 2019. The bylaws of the Commission provide that the General Public seat and Alternate be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Commission advertised for these seats (attached) and interviewed seven candidates for the positions. The Commission met on December 5, 2019 and voted unanimously to recommend Audrey Comeaux for the General Public seat and Tim Bancroft for the Alternate seat. Their applications, and the application of the other five candidates, are attached.

The Internal Operations Committee reviewed and approved these nominations on February 10, 2020.
