TO:
FROM:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Dominic Lazzaretto, City Manager
By: Lisa Mussenden, Chief Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager
SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
Recommended Action: Make appointments
SUMMARY:
At its meeting on June 16, 2015, the City Council conducted annual appointments to
various Boards and Commissions, with the exception of the Planning Commission. The
City Council, at this meeting, directed staff to schedule interviews with those applicants
interested in serving on the Planning Commission. Interviews were conducted on July
15 and July 21. This agenda item will enable the City Council to take action to fill
vacancies on the Planning Commission.
DISCUSSION:
At their meeting on June 16, 2015, it was the consensus of the City Council to schedule
separate interviews with those 12 applicants who were interested in serving on the
Planning Commission and had applications on file. On July 15, 2015, the City Council
conducted eight (8) interviews with potential candidates, and on July 21, 2015, the last
four (4) are scheduled.
For City Council consideration, two (2) appointments to the Planning Commission must
be made at this meeting. One position is for a full four year term, and the other position
is to fill an unexpired term, which expires June 30, 2016. Pursuant to the City Charter,
an individual appointed to fill an unexpired term is eligible for reappointment and may
serve up to an additional two full consecutive terms. All applicants have been verified
as residents and registered voters of the City.
Mr. Falzone who resigned with one (1) year remaining on his four (4) year term was the
Planning Commission's Chair. Mr. Baerg, who was the vice - chair, agreed to continue
his service on the Planning Commission until appointments by the City Council were
made. Because there are two matters currently pending before the Planning
Planning Commission

Commission, staff recommends that the terms of the new Planning Commissioners be
effective August 15, 2015. This would allow Mr. Baerg to continue to preside, as vice -
chair, over those two pending items that are currently before the Planning Commission.
One item is scheduled for the Planning Commission meeting of July 28 and the other
one August 11.
Attached to this staff report is a summary sheet with the names of those applicants that
interviews were scheduled with and are interested in serving on the Planning
Commission.
