|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the Mayor, with City Council approval, to appoint commissioners to fill vacancies on the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission and the Traffic Commission. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
At the June 27, 2023, City Council Meeting, Mr. Fernando Cueva and Mr. Joseph Larrichia were appointed to the Planning Commission. These appointments left vacancies on the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission and the Traffic Commission. |
| | | | | | | | 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 notices were published and posted by the City Clerk's Office on July, 5 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 $275.00. Legal advertising costs were included in the City's operating budget. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Mayor, with City Council approval, appoint a Commissioner to the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission and a Commissioner to the Traffic Commission.
