FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
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 analyzing and developing recommendations regarding hazardous materials issues with consideration to broad public input, and report back to the Board on Board referrals.
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1, which requires that each advisory board, commission, or committee report annually to the Board on its activities, accomplishments, membership attendance, required training/certification, and proposed work plan or objectives for the following year. The attached report fulfills this requirement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the report is not accepted, the Hazardous Materials Commission would not be in compliance with Resolution No. 2020/1.
