Environmental Management Advisory Committee Recruitment

EMAC

Sustaining and improving the City’s livability and quality of life is Goal 2 of the City of Florence work plan. The Environmental Management Advisory Committee (EMAC) realizes Goal 2 by developing local strategies and advising the City Council on protecting Florence’s health and environment and conserving its energy and natural resources. They are responsible for regulating the solid waste code, ensuring compliance with DEQ recycling education requirements, and serving as the City’s Tree Board. The Committee is comprised of between 5-11 citizen members and additional ex-officio non-voting members.

The City is recruiting for applicants to fulfill vacant positions on the EMAC Committee. EMAC generally meets once per month as a group. Persons interested should expect to attend recurring meetings and devote time for study of issues and performance above and beyond meeting attendance. Volunteer time is vital in working towards solutions to local government issues.
