Home My WebLink AboutItem 09a - Boards & Commission AppointmentsBoard and Commission Appointments June 15, 2021 Page 2 of 2 DATE: June 15, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Dominic Lazzaretto, City Manager By: Linda Rodriguez, Assistant City Clerk SUBJECT: APPOINTMENTS TO CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Recommendation: Make Appointments SUMMARY Annually, the City Council appoints individuals to serve on various City Boards and Commissions. This agenda item will enable the City Council to take action to fill those vacancies on the Arcadia Beautiful Commission, Human Resources Commission, Library Board of Trustees, and Senior Citizens’ Commission, where terms will expire June 30, 2021. There are sufficient nominees who have submitted applications to fill all open seats, with the exception of the Senior Men’s Club position on the Senior Citizens’ Commission; that spot will remain vacant until a candidate is identified. DISCUSSION Boards and Commissions exist to advise the City Council on matters that impact Arcadia residents. There are currently seven Boards and Commissions: Arcadia Beautiful, Arcadia Museum, Human Resources, Library Board of Trustees, Planning, Recreation and Parks, and Senior Citizens’. Each appointed member may generally serve up to two (2) consecutive four-year terms. The exception to this rule is the Senior Citizens’ Commission, where members may serve up to two (2) consecutive two-year terms. Each term begins July 1 and ends June 30. It is recommended that the City Council fill vacancies on the following Boards and Commissions. x Arcadia Beautiful Commission (3 positions open) x Human Resources Commission (1 position open) x Library Board of Trustees (1 position open) Board and Commission Appointments June 15, 2021 Page 2 of 2 x Senior Citizens’ Commission (1 At-large and 3 Service Club positions open) In order to facilitate City Council action, the following documents are attached to this staff report: 1. Attachment No. 1 - “Appointment Summary,” which shows the number of vacancies open on each Board/Commission, which members are eligible for reappointment, and the names of individuals who have submitted resumes interested in serving on that particular Board/Commission. 2. Attachment No. 2 - Current Boards and Commissions Roster 3. Attachment No. 3 - Citizen Service Resumes and letters of recommendation from Arcadia Service Clubs, if required. All applicants have been verified as residents and registered voters of the City. Of note, the President of the Senior Men’s Club has indicated that efforts to find a nominee to fill that position have been unsuccessful due to the lack of interest and a decline in membership. Staff is currently reviewing the Commission’s bylaws and may make recommendations to the City Council on policies going forward to provide more flexibility on appointments to the Senior Citizens’ Commission. In the meantime, the position on the Senior Men’s Club will remain vacant until a candidate is identified, and the position can be filled. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact as a result of City Council action on this item. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and make appointments to fill vacancies on Arcadia Boards and Commissions where terms will expire June 30, 2021.
