OBJECTIVE

To transmit the list of applicants received by the City Clerk's Office for the 2017 Commission and Administrative Board of Appeals appointments.

BACKGROUND

A press release announcing the City’s acceptance of applications for Commissions and the Administrative Board of Appeals was provided to the public in December 2016, and again in January 2017, to extend the deadline for applications to January 31, 2017, for appointments to be made at the February 14, 2017, City Council meeting.  The press release invited registered voters in Garden Grove interested in volunteering their time to apply through the City’s website, or to pick up an application in the City Clerk’s Office.  Also, a Commission Summary List was published and posted on December 21, 2016, which lists the current Commissioners and their appointment date.

DISCUSSION

The attached is the list of registered voters who submitted their applications.  The application allows each applicant to choose all or one Commission for an appointment by the Mayor with a majority vote of the City Council.  The list is broken down by Commission, and if the applicant is currently serving, the Commission is abbreviated and in parenthesis next to the applicant’s name. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Consider the attached list of applicants for the 2017 appointments to City Commissions and the Administrative Board of Appeals.
