BACKGROUND:
In June, the 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 subcommittee. The
Resolutions further permit a Board Committee to select a screening committee to assist in interviewing applicants for
appointment. Upon review of the eligible seats, the IOC made a determination that it would conduct interviews for
At Large seats on the following bodies: Retirement Board, Fire Advisory Commission, Integrated Pest Management
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Treasury Oversight Board, Airport Land Use Commission, Aviation
Advisory Committee and the Fish & Wildlife Committee; and that screening and nomination fill At Large seats on
all other eligible bodies would be delegated to each body or a subcommittee thereof.
The Fish & Wildlife Committee was established by the Board in December 1994 to advise the Board on fish and
wildlife issues, make recommendations for the expenditure of funds from the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund,
