RE-APPOINT Steve Linsley to the Environmental Organization #3 seat and Ralph Sattler to the Environmental Organization #3 Alternate seat on the Hazardous Materials Commission to new terms ending December 31, 2012.

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 on Board referrals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Commission has 13 members, each with an appointed alternate: 2 city representatives, 3 business representatives, 3 environmental organization representatives, 1 League of Women Voters representative, 2 labor representatives, 1 environmental engineering firm representative, and 1 general public representative. Terms for all seats are four years. The IOC reviews nominations to all seats except those designated for cities.

The IOC, at its March 11 meeting, approved the nominations for re-appointment.
