Citizen Advisory Committee
LRAPA’s Board of Directors has established a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) to advise the Board in matters pertaining to the region, particularly on methods and procedures for the protection of public health and welfare and of property, from the adverse effects of air pollution.

This volunteer committee is made up of 7-15 local Lane County residents from various backgrounds including: public health, agriculture, industry, community planning, fire suppression, and general public. Advisory Committee members serve three-year terms and can be reappointed.

Meetings are usually at noon on the last Tuesday of each month. Most years no meetings are scheduled in August and December. Past meeting agendas and minutes can be found on the agendas & minutes page.

Current Citizen Advisory Committee members are listed on LRAPA’s public oversight webpage.
