RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE vacant Hazardous Materials Commission Business Seat Alternate #2 previously held by Peter Dahling, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy, as recommended by the Health Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

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. The bylaws of the Commission provide that Business Seat # 2 Alternate be nominated by the Industrial Association, screened by the Internal Operations committee, and appointed by the Board of Supervisors.

Peter Dahling vacated the seat because of a change in employment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will remain unfilled and the primary seat holder will not have an alternate to fill in for him if he is unable to attend a meeting. This will potentially make it more difficult to achieve a quorum and will potentially lessen the viewpoint of the business community in Commission deliberations.
