<br />ATTACHMENT B <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Toxics Board <br />Supplemental Questionnaire <br />th <br />Recruitment for 7 Member, March 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Stephen Flanagan <br />NAME: <br /> <br />Please respond to the following supplemental questions, specific to the Toxics Board, and include <br />with your application. If you choose to answer the questions on a separate sheet of paper, <br />please remember to include your name. <br /> <br />FOR ALL CANDIDATES: <br />1. Do you have any familiarity with federal, state, and/or local right-to-know laws? <br />Please explain. <br /> <br />Only in a general sense that these laws are intended to give communities clear information <br />about potential hazards. <br /> <br />2. Please explain your understanding of Eugene’s right-to-know law. <br /> <br />I’ve read the background on the City’s website and looked at who and what is reported. <br /> <br />3. How would you work to make decisions as a board member given that there may be <br />persons on the board whose views are in direct opposition to yours? Do you have <br />any experience doing this? Please explain. <br /> <br />My primary approach would be examining issues from a technical, factual basis. I have <br />served on volunteer boards in other settings and would work to find common ground on <br />thorny issues. <br /> <br />4. Please describe your experience in the formation of or implementation of public <br />policy and regulations. <br /> <br />My professional life is governed by Federal EPA guidelines and state EPA guidelines <br />throughout the U.S.; as such I’m very familiar with the implementation process, but not <br />necessarily the formation process. <br /> <br />5. Why did you apply for the Toxics Board, and what do you hope to contribute? <br /> <br />I think my unique background would serve the board as I have technical knowledge about <br />toxics but am neither an industry representative or toxics advocate. <br />
