Executive Summary
Currently there are nine citizen-at-large vacancies on the Environmental Protection Advisory Committee, and eight eligible citizens have applied. Three members whose terms have just expired may continue to serve if not replaced. Therefore we suggest that the Board appoint members to six of the nine vacant positions, then appoint one to the alternate position if the current alternate has been moved to citizen-at-large.
