| | Subject: | Appointments to the Planning Commission to fill two vacancies. (Action Item) | Date: | 6/13/2023 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the Mayor, with City Council approval, to appoint commissioners to fill two vacancies on the Planning Commission. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
At the March 14, 2023, City Council Meeting, Ms. Daisy Perez and Mr. Matthew Montano were appointed to the Planning Commission. However both Commissioners resigned soon after being appointed, and at the meeting held on May 9, 2023, the City Council accepted their resignations. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Municipal Code 2.21.013 and Government Code 54974(a), when an unscheduled vacancy occurs whether due to resignation, removal, or other cause, a special vacancy notice shall be posted and published in a local newspaper, within 20 days after the vacancy occurs. A final appointment to the board, committee, or commission to fill the vacancy shall not be made for at least ten working days after posting of the notice. The attached vacancy notice was published and posted by the City Clerk's Office on Friday, May 12, 2023, and also attached is a list of applicants for consideration. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The appointment of commissioners on the Planning Commission does not have a financial impact to the City. The Commission Vacancy notice was advertised in the Orange County News, a locally adjudicated newspaper, at a publishing cost of $130.00. Legal advertising costs were included in the City's operating budget. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Mayor, with City Council approval, appoint two Planning Commissioners to continue the terms for Ms. Daisy Perez and Mr. Matthew Montano.
