Hearing Board Member (Engineer Category) at Bay Area Air Quality Management District


The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) is a regional government agency committed to achieving clean air to protect the public's health and the environment. The Air District accomplishes this goal through regulation of industrial facilities and various outreach and incentive programs designed to encourage clean air choices.

The Air District's jurisdiction encompasses all of seven counties - Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Napa, and portions of two others - southwestern Solano and southern Sonoma.

The Hearing Board is established by state law and consists of five members and their alternates - an attorney, a professional engineer, a member from the medical profession and two members of the public.

The Air District is currently recruiting for both the Member and Alternate representatives in the Medical Profession and Professional Engineer categories.

EXAMPLES OF DUTIES FOR THIS POSITION:
The Hearing Board is a quasi-judicial body that rules on particular cases that affect only individual facilities. It is authorized to hear requests for variance relief, permit revocation, abatement orders, and appeals by permit applicants, or by interested third parties, concerning the issuance or denial of permits.

This is a volunteer position. There is no salary. Members of the Hearing Board receive a stipend of $400 per meeting day, plus travel expenses.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
The applicants for the Hearing Board are evaluated based on their qualifications to serve as representatives for their profession, field of endeavor, or the community, as the case may be.

Hearing Board members serve a term of three years and may be reappointed to a maximum of twelve consecutive years. The Hearing Board currently meets two to three times a month depending on the volume of cases filed, usually on Thursdays, at the Air District's office at 939 Ellis Street in San Francisco, near City Hall.

Interviews are held during the Air District's Board of Director's Personnel Committee Meeting which will be scheduled on a date in March 2013. If you are selected for an interview, our staff will contact you to request your presence at this meeting.
