MEMORANDUM
TO: Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors
FROM: Doug Gearhart, Air Pollution Control Officer
DATE: April 23, 2019
SUBJECT: (Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors) - Re-Appoint James Harvey, Public Member, to the Lake County Air Quality Management District Hearing Board for a three year term pursuant to Health and Safety Code
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: James Harvey has served for the past 9 years as a Public Member on the Lake County Air Quality Management District Hearing Board. California Health & Safety Code Section 40801 requires one Legal Professional, one Professional Engineer, one Medical Professional, and two Public Members be represented on the Hearing Board. Mr. Harvey has an interest in air quality and preserving it and has agreed to continue to serve on the Hearing Board and we are appreciative.
The Hearing Board has not met frequently in the few years; previously the Hearing Board has met up to 8 times a year. The hearing process is both legalistic and technical in nature. Continuing Hearing Board members, as has been the case for the present Hearing Board, has helped greatly in making the process work smoothly and in the public's interest. Because of infrequent meetings, the advantages of having experienced Hearing Board members, and the fact that Mr. Harvey has indicated his willingness to continue, we ask that you reappoint him.
Staff believes the LCAQMD is fortunate to have Members with such strong credentials, history, and unique understanding of our community and environmental matters and are willing to continue to serve on the Hearing Board.
