RECOMMENDATION(S):

REDESIGNATE the Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board seat on the Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee as the "Sustainability Advisory Committee seat".

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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, or should it be redesignated and, if so, to what type of seat?

The Internal Operations Committee considered this question at its regular meeting on February 13, 2017 and recommends that the PEHAB seat on the IPM Advisory Committee be redesignated for a representative of the County's new Sustainability Advisory Committee. As with PEHAB, the Sustainability Advisory Committee would nominate its representative to the IPM Advisory Committee pending approval and appointment by the Board of Supervisors. Seat terms are four years in length; the current term of the seat in question is due to expire on December 31, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the seat is not redesignated, then recruitment cannot be conducted and the vacancy will remain indefinitely.
