Commission discusses District 1 vacancy, recruitment and online permit portal
Summary
Commissioners discussed a vacancy in District 1 and plans to ask supervisors to fill the seat. Staff described an upcoming online permitting portal to improve permit routing for on‑site wastewater systems; no appointments were made.
Commissioners used the meeting to raise internal business: filling a vacancy in District 1 and improving interdepartmental permitting procedures.
Members reported an open District 1 seat and attendance gaps for one commissioner. Commissioners agreed to ask supervisors to fill the vacancy and to recommend a candidate where appropriate. An agency official asked commissioners to contact their supervisors and offered to send suggested language and outreach to encourage a timely appointment.
Separately, staff described an online permitting portal the building department is developing to make on‑site wastewater applications more transparent and to automate routing to environmental health. The portal is intended to reduce cases in which applicants proceed deeply into planning or building processes only to be referred later to environmental health — a sequence staff said has cost applicants time and money. The portal is expected to be available for demonstration and initial testing within several months.
There were no formal appointments or votes during the meeting; commissioners assigned follow‑up tasks to staff and agreed to return the District 1 conversation once supervisors respond.
