Following the City Council Reorganization, the Mayor has the option to make new appointments to City boards, commissions, and outside agencies. The City Council reorganization occurred on July 16, 2024.

Mayor Cao has appointed each City Council Member to serve as either the Delegate or the Alternate (when applicable) for seven City boards and commissions and 11 outside governmental agencies, beginning on August 21, 2024. Based on the recent City Council Reorganization and due to the General Municipal Election to be held on November 5, 2024, for the election of members of the City Council in Districts 1 and 4, the next liaison appointments and/or re-appointments are projected to occur in December 2024. It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Mayor’s appointments of City Council Members to City boards, commissions, and outside agencies, beginning August 21, 2024.
