The CFE Membership Committee (Chair and Vice-Chair) have reviewed the current list of applicants and recommends the appointment of Bill Ward to Position#4 (Biological Resources). Mr. Ward's interests, background, skills and experience working as a microbiologist would certainly benefit the Commission's perspective and discussions if he were to join the CFE. Once this position is filled, one vacancy would remain; however the committee does not recommend appointing any of the other applicants at this time. CFE members prefer to recruit other qualified applicants to fil remaining vacancies. The CFE anticipates having a recommendation for the Board to consider for those appointments in the near future.

Our current movement away from burning fossil fuels to clean energy technologies is going to be important for our health and economy as well as for our planet. 18 Page 2 of 2 Kim Piracci I would be honored to be part of that change for Orange County.
