Two Amador DCC Members Appointed to County Resource Advisory Committee (RAC)
Amador DCC members Marcie Bayne and Bob Laurent have been appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to fill two positions on the Amador County Resource Advisory Committee (RAC). The purpose of this RAC is to recommend funding projects that benefit National Forest System lands in Amador County. For the 2008 and 2009 funding cycle, this RAC will recommend projects to allocate approximately $90,000 that benefit the National Forest. The Eldorado National Forest Supervisor will select the projects on behalf of the Secretary of Agriculture. The RAC has been chartered for fiscal years 2008-2011.
The first meeting of the RAC will be held on May 5, 2010, at the Amador County Supervisors Office, 801 Court Street, Jackson, CA at 6 PM. This initial meeting is intended to allow new RAC members to meet each other, learn more about their duties as RAC members, and to develop committee operating guidelines. The public is invited to attend.
The members of the RAC were appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to represent a specific interest in the National Forest. Marcie, Executive Director of the newly formed North Valley Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, will represent labor's interest. Bob will be representing the interest of educators. He is a teacher for Baker College, Mountain State University and University of Phoenix.
Below is a list of all members.
