Following the City Council Reorganization, the Mayor has the option to make new appointments to City boards, commissions, and outside agencies. The most recent City Council reorganization occurred on April 15, 2025, appointing Sharon Kwan as Mayor and Eileen Wang as Mayor Pro Tem. The attached Council Member Liaison List reflects the various Arcadia boards and commissions and outside agencies that City Council Members serve on, along with an updated list of appointments to each position. Mayor Kwan has appointed each City Council Member to serve as either the Delegate or the Alternate (when applicable) for eight City boards and commissions and 11 outside governmental agencies, beginning on May 7, 2025. The appointments will continue until superseded by the next City Council Reorganization and corresponding liaison appointments, which are projected to occur in February 2026. Contingent upon the City Council’s adoption of Ordinance No. 2404, authorizing the establishment of the Arcadia Health Commission, it would be appropriate for Mayor Kwan to appoint a liaison to this newly formed commission. This prospective appointment is reflected in the attached City Council Liaison List; however, such appointment will not take effect unless Ordinance No. 2404 is adopted at the May 6, 2025, Regular Meeting. 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 May 7, 2025.
