RECOMMENDATIONS:

APPOINT Michelle Cordis to the Public Works Director or Designee seat on the Integrated Pest Management Advisory Committee (IPMAC) with no term expiration, as recommended by the Health Services Director.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

 

BACKGROUND:

The IPMAC was established by the Board of Supervisors in November 2009. The Public Works Director or Designee seat was created by the Board on February 27, 2024 and is intended to be a conduit for IPMAC engagement will all Public Works Department operations that perform pest management functions, particularly Airports, Maintenance Division (Flood Control and right-of-way properties), Facilities & Grounds, Special Districts, and Custodial Services.

 

Staff-designated seats on the Committee are ex-officio, but have historically been formally appointed by the Board of Supervisors since IPMAC is advisory to it. Chris Lau, Assistant Public Works Director, was the most recent appointee. At the September 18, 2025 IPMAC meeting, he announced that Michelle Cordis, Assistant Public Works Director, will now fill this seat.
