Ready, City Manager BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to staff as appropriate. BACKGROUND: Historically, the City Council has waived the procedures in Resolution No. 18804 to allow the City Council to select Interviewing Subcommittees to screen and interview candidates for the City's Boards and Commissions. The full City Council has traditionally interviewed candidates for the Historic Site Preservation Board, Measure J Oversight Commission, and Planning Commission. On January 30, 2020, the City Council appointed Councilmember Garner and Mayor Pro Tern Holstege to serve as the Interviewing Subcommittee for existing and unscheduled vacancies, noting that another Councilmember may substitute if either member of the Subcommittee is unavailable. On April 2, 2020, the City Council deferred action on appointments for Boards and Commissions, where terms were to expire on June 30, 2020, due to COVID-19 impacts on the ability to recruit new applicants. Thereby, the City Council extended individual Board and Commission Members terms through December 31, 2020. The City Council is requested to provide direction on the following issues: 1. Shall Councilmember Garner and Mayor Pro Tern Holstege continue to serve as the Interviewing Subcommittee for all Boards and Commissions, except Historic Site Preservation Board, Measure J Oversight Commission, and Planning Commission? 2. Does the full City Council desire to interview applicants for the Historic Site Preservation Board, Measure J Oversight Commission, and Planning Commission? Or does the City Council want to delegate screening and interviewing of these Boards and Commissions to the Interviewing Subcommittee? ,-,-:, i. ~ !C .5 C 1 )1:.'.,:, :·-.
