This seat expires on December 31, 2008. Mr. Sattler applied for the seat during an open application process held this summer. As a member of Communities for a Safe Environment, Mr. Sattler has a long and active history of working on local environmental issues related to hazardous materials, especially the Industrial Safety Ordinance and the Risk Management Program. One other person applied, and was also interviewed, for the seat (see attached application). The Hazardous Materials Commission bylaws call for three(3)representatives of environmental organizations, with all applicants to any of the three Environmental Organization seats to be nominated by an environmental organization, but that no particular environmental organization will have an exclusive right to nominate an individual to any one of the three aforesaid seats or their alternates, and therefore, which environmental organizations are represented on the Hazardous Materials Commission rests with the Internal Operations Committee and ultimately the Board of Supervisors (IOC Bd Order dated February 24, 1998).
