The Alachua County Commission is seeking applications to fill openings on the Environmental Protection Advisory Committee (EPAC). EPAC meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Environmental Protection Department Conference Room A in the Seagle Building (408 W. University Avenue, Gainesville). Five at-large positions are required to be filled, with County Commission selection in June (Terms begin in July). The application deadline is May 19, 2023. All applicants who submitted during the last year will be contacted to verify if they still wish to be considered as candidates.

EPAC provides an opportunity for citizen involvement in environmental issues and concerns affecting residents of Alachua County. It advises the County Commission on appropriate measures to safeguard air; water and natural resources; and the responsible management of public lands and natural resources. Terms are three years unless a person is appointed to fill a partial term.
