RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Paul Seffrood to the Business #1 Alternate seat and RE-APPOINT Henry Alcaraz to the Labor #1 seat on the Hazardous Materials Commission to terms expiring on December 31, 2018.

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 analyzing and developing recommendations regarding hazards materials issues with consideration to broad public input. The IOC reviews nominations made by the Hazardous Materials Commission for appointments all Commission seats except the City seats.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 31, 2014, the terms of office for the Business #1 Alternate and Labor #1 seats expired. The bylaws of the Commission provide that the Business #1 Alternate seat be nominated by the Council of Industries and the two labor representatives be named by labor organizations. On February 9, the IOC reviewed and approved the nominations put forth by these organizations for the vacant seats.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board of Supervisors elect not to approve the nominations, the Council of Industries and labor organizations will continue to be underrepresented on the Commission until such time that new nominations can be put forth.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
