Additionally , the Commission is now strictly enforcing its Bylaws related to allowing a "designee " to serve in the absence of the Representative rather than an "alternate ." The City Council is being requested to appoint the Economic Development Director to serve as the "designee" to the City's Representative to the County of Riverside Community Action Partnership , Community Action Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Appoint the Economic Development Director to serve as the "designee" to the City's Representative to the County of Riverside Community Action Commission . BACKGROUND : The County of Riverside Community Action Partnersh ip works to strengthen , promote , represent and serve its community to assure that the need of self-sufficiency is identified and addressed . Community Action Partnership was created as part of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, commonly referred to as the "War on Poverty ," for the purpose of tailoring services to meet the needs of individuals and families by helping achieve economic stability . The City of Palm Springs is a member agency of t he County of Riverside Community Action Partnership and has one seat on the Commun ity Action Commission . On December 13 , 2017 , the City Council appointed Councilmember Holstege to serve as the City 's Representative to the Commission . The Commission is a tripartite board consisting of 1/3 public , 1/3 private , and 1/3 low income representatives from the community , totaling a 15-member Commission. The Commission 's regular meetings were held at 7 :00 p .m . on the th i rd Thursday of the month at the Banning Senior Center. ITEM NO . :L . L. 2 City Council Staff Report September 5, 2018 --Page 2 Designee to the County of Riverside Community Action Commission However, on February 15 , 2018 , the Commission voted to changes its regu lar meeting time and location to 5:30p.m . on the th ird Thursday of the month at the Community Action Partnership Headquarters in Riverside (2038 Iowa Avenue , Suite B-1 0 1 ). As a resu lt , Councilmember Holstege is no longer available to regularly attend these meetings. In addition , the Commission previously allowed for "alternates " to serve when the Public Sector Representative was unavailable . The City had previously identified Community Development Administrator, Dale Cook , to serve in this capacity. However, the Commission is now strictly interpreting its Bylaws to indicate that only a "des ig nee " may serve in the absence of the Representative . Due to term limits for Mr. Cook, it is recommended that the City Council designate the Economic Deve lopment Director, Jay Vi rata, to serve as the "designee " of the City 's Representative .
