SUBJECT: REVIEW AND APPROVE THE ROSTER OF CITY COUNCIL
SUBCOMMITTEES, APPOINTEES, LIAISONS, AND REPRESENTATIVES
TO EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Office of the City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:

organizations.
2.Alternatively, approve the roster of City Council subcommittees, appointees,
liaisons, and representatives to external organizations, and authorize the City
Clerk to prepare and execute FPPC Form 806, Public Official Appointments.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Attached for the City Council’s review, discussion, and approval is the roster of City Council
subcommittees and appointees to external organizations. Staff requests that the City Council
provide direction on changes to the roster (Attachment A); the current roster, adopted
December 14, 2023, is attached for reference (Attachment B).
The City Council routinely appoints Councilmembers to serve on standing or ad hoc
subcommittees, or individual Councilmembers may volunteer to serve as liaisons to study
various topics. The City Council also appoints representatives to external organizations as
needed. On an annual basis, the City Council reviews the roster of appointments and makes
adjustments as necessary.
Under California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 18702.5, before a public official may
participate in a decision or vote to appoint themselves to a compensated position, the local
agency must post a form established by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) on
the City’s website. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt and direct the Office of
the City Clerk to prepare FPPC Form 806 be updated and posted as required.
