Summary

Public Works Director Rob Brandes was authorized to fill three advisory roles on regional transportation and solid-waste bodies, preserving existing technical representation and naming Brandes as an alternate or policy committee member where applicable.

Rob Brandes, Public Works Director, presented proposed appointments to three advisory bodies: the Rogue Valley Area Commission on Transportation (RVACT), the Josephine County/Grants Pass Solid Waste Agency, and the Middle Rogue Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee. Brandes said the proposed arrangement would retain the current Public Works representative as the County's primary voting member on RVACT while designating him as the alternate; he offered to serve on the Solid Waste Agency and on the MPO Policy Committee where the current representative could concentrate on technical advisory work.

Commissioner Colene M. Martin moved to approve the appointments as presented; Commissioner Gary L. Richardson seconded. The Board voted unanimously. Commissioners emphasized that recommendations and project-prioritization decisions from these committees can substantially affect Josephine County and discussed enforcement and voluntary compliance as tools to reduce illegal dumping.
