Commission outlines Sept. 11 public forum — topics include batteries, PFAS, pharmaceuticals and brownfields
Summary
Operations committee presented a draft plan for a Sept. 11 public forum (in‑person + Zoom) with five information tables (pharma collection, lithium‑ion batteries, sea‑level rise, PFAS, brownfields), a panel of presenters, QR‑coded handouts, and a public Q&A; doors are to open 3:30 p.m., presentations 4:05–5:15 p.m., and mingle/tables at 5:30 p.m.
The commission's operations committee walked members through a draft flyer and logistics for a Sept. 11 public forum intended to educate residents about local hazardous‑materials issues. The forum will be held in the Board of Supervisors chambers with an in‑person and Zoom option; staff recommended no preregistration and suggested a sign‑in sheet to collect attendees' district information.
Operations committee members said the forum will feature five topic tables (pharmaceutical collection, lithium‑ion battery safety, sea‑level rise impacts, PFAS, and brownfields), QR codes on handouts to reduce paper waste, and a short panel of five presenters followed by moderated Q&A and time for attendees to visit tables. The draft schedule notes doors opening at 3:30 p.m.; presentations from roughly 4:05 to 5:15 p.m.; and an information‑table mingle at about 5:30 p.m.
Committee members identified ad hoc planners (Maureen Brennan, Jamin and another operations member) and asked commissioners to sign up for roles (table staffing, name‑tagging, index‑card collection for questions). Staff said the county PIO will produce the flyer and that publicity will include email and live documents with active links. Commissioners discussed logistics such as security screening, signage, and name tags for presenters.
