RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. APPROVE plan to transition the terms of office of the Public Member seats on the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Advisory Committee from two years to four years and to stagger term expirations:

The At Large 1 and At Large 2 seat appointments convert to four-year terms upon the expiration of their current terms (December 31, 2015).

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

The next At Large 3 and At Large Alternate seat appointments be set for three years, from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018, and then convert to four-year terms effective January 1, 2019.

The next Environmental Organization seat appointment be set for three-years, from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018, and then convert to a four-year term effective January 1, 2019.

The Fish and Wildlife Committee seat and the PEHAB seat convert to four-year terms upon the expiration of their current terms (December 31, 2015).

2. APPROVE attached modifications to the IPM Advisory Committee Bylaws as needed to accord with the seat term transition and to update old references.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Internal Operations Committee periodically conducts interviews of candidates for seats on the IPM Advisory Committee. On December 1, 2014, the Internal Operations Committee directed the IPM Coordinator to develop a plan to convert the current IPM Advisory Committee Public Member two-year term appointments to four-year term appointments with staggered term expiration dates.

In order to achieve this goal, IPM staff proposed the plan depicted below to achieve the conversion of seat terms and also to stagger the terms.

Seat Name	Current Term Expiration Date	Transition Term	Subsequent Four-Year Terms
At Large 1	12/31/15	1/1/16-12/31/19	1/1/20-12/31/23
At Large 2	12/31/15	1/1/16-12/31/19	1/1/20-12/31/23
At Large 3	12/31/15	1/1/16-12/31/18	1/1/19-12/31/22
At Large Alternate	12/31/15	1/1/16-12/31/18	1/1/19-12/31/22
Environmental Organization	12/31/16	1/1/16*-12/31/18	1/1/19-12/31/22
PEHAB (Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board)	12/31/15	1/1/16-12/31/19	1/1/20-12/31/23
Fish & Wildlife Committee	12/31/15	1/1/16-12/31/19	1/1/20-12/31/23

*The Environmental Organization seat was recently vacated due to resignation of the incumbent, permitting the next seat term to be adjusted to commence on 1/1/16 without impacting a seated member.

Since the IPM Committee does not currently differentiate the At-Large seats by numbers, the IOC recommends that numbers be assigned when individuals are appointed to those seats later this year.

Changes to the seat terms and expirations will necessitate the following changes to the IPM Advisory Committee bylaws:

III. Terms/Elections

A. Committee:

1. The terms for the Department Representatives do not expire. All other members shall serve for a term of ~~two (2)~~ four (4) calendar years. Any vacancies during the term of the member shall be filled for the remainder of that ~~two (2)~~ four (4) calendar year term. Members may serve more than one (1) ~~two-year~~ four-year term if reappointed.

The proposed modified bylaws are attached hereto for reference and also reflect other minor changes to update outdated references.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board elect to not approve the recommendations, that status quo would be maintained.
