BACKGROUND:

The Hazardous Materials Commission was established in 1986 to advise the Board, County staff and the mayors, 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Mayors Conference #3 seat was vacated due to the resignation of Ken Carlson and declared vacant by the Board of Supervisors on February 28, 2023 (Item C. 21). The bylaws of the Hazardous Materials Commission provide for three (3) representatives of cities, appointed by the City Selection Committee pursuant to Article 11 (§ 50270 et seq.) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code. The Mayors Conference has nominated Soheila Bana, City of Richmond Councilmember, for Seat #3. Her application and letter of support are attached. The term for this seat expires on December 31, 2024.

The term of Labor #1 seat expired on December 31, 2022. The bylaws of the Hazardous Materials Commission provide for two (2) labor representatives, nominated by labor organizations, screened by the Internal Operations Committee, and appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Contra Costa Building Trades have nominated Julian Vinatieri for Seat #1. His application and letter of support are attached. The term for this seat expires on December 31, 2026.
