Information

Referral History:

In 2013, IOC reviewed Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which stipulate that applicants for At Large/Non Agency-Specific seats on specified bodies are to be interviewed by a Board Committee. The IOC made a determination that it would delegate the screening and nomination of Hazardous Materials Commission candidates to the Commission, for review by the IOC.

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 hazards materials issues with consideration to broad public input, and report back to the Board on Board referrals.

Referral Update:

Henry Alcaraz resigned from the Labor #1 seat on June 30, 2021. The Clerk of the Board posted this vacancy on July 13, 2021. The alternate for Labor #1 seat has been vacant for this entire term.

The bylaws of the Commission provide that the Labor Seats be screened by the Internal Operations Committee and appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Contra Costa Building and Construction Trade Council has nominated Teston Shull to fill the Labor #1 seat and Terry Baldwin to fill Labor #1 Alternate seat. Their applications and letter of support are attached, as well as a third application from Charles Leonard.

The terms for these seats will expire on December 31, 2022.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the appointment of Teston Shull to the Labor #1 seat and Terry Baldwin to the Labor #1 Alternate seat on the Hazardous Materials Commission to complete the current terms that will expire on December 31, 2022.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None.
