With the support of its <br />member entities, which include Lane County and the cities of Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove and <br />Oakridge, LRAPA carries out its mission to protect and enhance air quality through a combination of <br />regulatory and non-regulatory programs and activities. <br /> <br />The LRAPA Board of Directors is a nine-member board which meets monthly to establish policy and <br />adopt agency regulations. Board members are appointed by their respective city councils and the Lane <br />County Board of Commissioners. <br /> <br />Current membership includes four representatives from the city of Eugene, one each from Lane County <br />and the city of Springfield; one from either the city of Cottage Grove or city of Oakridge; and two at- <br />large members, one a resident of an area of the county outside the city limits of any of the partner cities <br />and the other a resident of Springfield. <br /> <br />The Mayor nominates and the City Council appoints representatives to the Lane Regional Air <br />Protection Agency. On July 16, 2012, Mayor interviewed the only applicant for the one open position <br />on LRAPA and forwarded his name for nomination. <br /> <br />The term for this position will begin immediately upon appointment on July 23, 2012 and will expire <br />June 30, 2015. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The boards, committees and commissions serve as advisory bodies to the City Council in the <br />development of various City policies. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120723\S1207232E.doc <br />
