REFER to the 1997 Internal Operations Committee the question of whether the composition of the Hazardous Materials Commission should be adjusted in order to reduce or eliminate a perceived bias toward industry which exists with the current composition of the Commission. BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors has previously authorized advertising for applications for the Public Member seat on the Hazardous Materials Commission. We initially received 42 applications. Six individuals withdrew from consideration and advised staff of that fact. Thirteen (13) applicants did not contact staff one way or the other. They have been advised in writing that we assume they have disqualified themselves. There were then 23 remaining applicants who were invited to be interviewed for this seat. On December 9, 1996, our Committee interviewed 18 of these 23 applicants. Five applicants did not appear for the interview and were not considered further. One applicant, the incumbent, Paul DeFalco, Jr., withdrew at the interview on the basis that we had an adequate pool of qualified applicants. The remaining 17 applicants represented a highly qualified and talented pool of individuals who are concerned with the quality of the environment, recognize the right of industry to exist in the County as long as it does so responsibly, and who are willing to serve on the Commission. Our Committee has selected Mr. Shoults as the Public Member and Mr. Duffy as his alternate, in the event Mr. Shoults cannot attend a meeting. On the basis that the Commission has historically had an alternate for this one position seat, we are agreeing to fill the alternate seat, but are exempting this seat from the recently adopted rules on the appointment of alternates. Mr. Duffy will not automatically assume Mr. Shoults' seat in the event of his resignation, but will be able to serve in Mr. Shoults' place in the event of Mr. Shoults' absence. cc: County Administrator Health Services Director Elinor Blake, Executive Assistant Hazardous Materials Commission Mr. Stuart Wallace Shoults Mr. Thomas Duffy -2- CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ADVISORY BOARDS, COMIVIISSIONS OR COMNIIMES APPLICATION FORM Name of advisory board applying for 1142 "OVS Application Form must be typed or hand printed.
