ISSUE STATEMENT
This is an action item to appoint a Eugene representative to the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency
(LRAPA) Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND
Interim appointments are made, when needed, to various boards, committees, and commissions outside
the regular annual recruitment process. A vacancy on the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency board
was created when Kit Kirkpatrick resigned her position in fall 2009. A mid-term recruitment that was
subsequently conducted and publicized by LRAPA and City Manager’s Office staff resulted in two
applications being submitted.
The Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority sets and adopts policy for operation and makes
recommendations on issues directly related to air quality in Lane County. The City of Eugene has four
positions: one elected official and three citizen at-large positions. Citizen members serve three-year
terms; the elected official appointment is made each year.
The Mayor nominates and the council appoints the at-large citizens. Both candidates who submitted
applications were interviewed by the Mayor on January 13, 2010.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
No policy issues are related directly to this action.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The City Council can vote to approve the nominee; it can also request additional information or
background on the applicant and delay the vote, or reject it entirely.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends approval of the proposed nomination.
