REQUEST: APPROVAL OF A PROCESS FOR ANNUALLY ASSIGNING CITY
COUNCILMEMBERS TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LIAISON
APPOINTMENTS
SUBMITTED BY: John M. Wohlmuth, City Manager
Rachelle D. Klassen, City Clerk
DATE: January 14, 2016
CONTENTS: • Staff Report
• PROPOSED City Council Assignments for 2016
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, approve a process of annually selecting and/or approving
City Council Liaison Assignments to internal and external boards, committees, or
commissions, using the following formula, in order of priority, for making same:
1) Seniority of continuous service on the City Council; 2) specific expertise or interest
in a particular activity; 3) timing of regular meetings of the entity to coincide with the
Councilmember's availability and schedule.
Executive Summary
Annually, or as vacancies occur, the City Council shall be presented with a list of City standing
committees/commissions, regional authorities, and outside organizations, with the names of
Councilmembers currently assigned to them. As has been the City's practice for many years,
Council makes every effort to spread the various assignments so that each Councilmember
fairly shares responsibility of representing or conducting business for the City, with continuity
of service and related accumulation of expertise acquired over time being given weighted
consideration. The roster also reflects certain entities that, historically, have been found to
be best served by annually assigning both the current Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, which has
been carried out successfully for the City and may be assigned by the current by-laws of the
Committee/Commission. As new Councilmembers are elected and begin service, often they
are assigned to positions held by their predecessors and can begin learning the role and
offering their own talents and refreshed perspective on the assignment.
II. Backaround
In early 2015, City Councilmembers asked to review the current slate of City Council Liaison
Assignments and then requested a research project to provide the historical background of
how the City Council came to be assigned to the various internal and external positions. To
begin, City of Palm Desert has 17 standing Committees and Commissions of its own creation,
Staff Report -
Process forAnnual CouncilmemberAssignmentto Internal and External Organizations

10 of them specifically assigned a Council liaison, along with numerous relationships with
outside organizations and regional authorities, such as the Coachella Valley Association of
Governments, SunLine Transit Agency, Greater Palm Springs Convention & Visitors
Authority, Riverside County Transportation Commission, League of California Cities, etc.
Over time the City has observed an informal practice, as outlined in the formal
recommendation for action here, where Council annually assigns through approval of a roster
of said entities and named City officials (one or more Councilmembers or appropriate staff,
as needed), to serve as the City's representative on governing bodies of the organizations.
The participation may be either voting or in a purely representative capacity, as determined
in the bylaws or other regulating standards for the position. When provided, alternates
appointed to these entities have the same authority as the primary appointee when the
appointee is absent. Further, once a Councilmember has been assigned to participate in an
outside organization or regional authority, separate approval is not needed for them to
participate in a subcommittee of that organization or regional authority. Approval of the list
of assignments generally takes place at a Council Meeting early in the calendar year after the
annual Council Reorganization occurs. Additionally, from time to time throughout the year,
City Council may assign one or two Members to serve on City ad hoc committees, which also
takes place at a Council Meeting, followed by those ad hoc positions being added to the
roster until such time as the ad hoc body is no longer active.
III. Process
Step 1. Annually, or as changes are necessary from time to time, the Mayor will provide
a copy of the current list of assignments and solicit input from his/her
colleagues about any positions they would like to retain, relinquish, or bid for
new assignment if another colleague wishes to change; or if there has been any
status change in the respective relationship with the entity requiring
representation.
Step 2. Within a reasonable period of time, Councilmembers will report back to the
Mayor in writing with their choices for representation, indicating a list of those
they wish to RETAIN, RELINQUISH, or BID for new assignment(s).
Step 3. Mayor and staff will coordinate all the submissions for fulfillment of the coming
year's liaison assignments based upon the input received and on, in order of
preference: a) Members' seniority in consecutive years of service on the
Council; b) any specialized expertise the Councilmember possesses for an
assignment; c) time they have available to devote to the activity. In instances
where two or more Councilmembers have been elected and sworn in to office
on the same date, the Councilmember receiving the highest number of votes
in that election shall be deemed to have seniority in the process going forward.
Note, the Mayor shall automatically have priority right to serve on the CVAG
Executive Committee, with limited exceptions, that being if Palm Desert's

elected official is elected to the CVAG Board of Directors and that term of office
does not run concurrently with the City's, requiring an adjustment to the annual
assignments roster and concurrence of the City Council for this purpose.
Generally speaking, Councilmembers assigned to the City's own standing Committees and
Commissions serve in a non -voting liaison capacity in orderto provide reference forthe voting
members (i.e., City history or clarification on existing projects or policies) and report back to
the entire City Council as needed. In instances where City Councilmembers have voting
rights on City boards (e.g. Audit, Investment & Finance Committee, Outside Agency Funding
Committee), ,those responsibilities are specifically listed in the bylaws or organizational
documentation. Further, it is understood that Councilmembers assigned to outside
organizations or regional authorities representthe City's interest, generally, as determined by
a majority of the Council. Councilmembers are not to represent or vote their own or individual
positions on an issue, but that of the City's, as articulated, directed, or instructed by a majority
of the Council. Whenever possible, all significant policy issues shall be brought before the
whole Council for determination and instruction to the assigned Councilmember, with the
assigned Councilmember representing that position until such time as a majority of the
Council changes or modifies its position on a policy issue.
Current assignments to all internal boards and external organizations and regional authorities
are on file in the Office of the City Clerk and posted on the City's website. Your approval and
confirmation of this defined process is hereby respectfully requested.
Fiscal Analvsis
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of this process.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Palm Desert City Council
From: John M. Wohlmuth, City Manager
Date: January 13, 2016
Subject: Committee and Commission Appointments
There appears to be three issues/concerns for the committee/commission process this
year. Staff wishes to get direction from this Council on how the Council would like to
change the historical/typical method that previous Councils utilized. The three areas
are:
1. Council member appointments as liaisons to City committees and to outside
agency committees. On the January 14, 2016 City Council agenda, is a draft
process developed by staff to assist in this conversation/issue. Items to be
considered/changed are:
a. Role and duties of the Mayor for coordinating/facilitating the appointment
process.
b. In assigning a Council member, the issue of seniority versus qualifications.
C. Whether to institute term limits or maximum duration of assignment policy.
2. Research and draft bylaw language for several City committee/commissions to
reflect a more purposeful and effective committee/commission. Some of the
proposed committee/commission bylaw modifications are:
a. Audit, Investment and Finance Committee to Finance Committee.
b. Architectural Review Commission from seven members to five or seven
members.
C. Parks and Recreation Commission from twelve meetings a year to six
meetings a year.
d. Citizens' Sustainability Committee from quarterly meetings to "as needed"
and reduce number of members. (Please see attached memo from Ryan
Stendell).
3. Appointment of citizens to City committee/commissions. Typically, the citizen
appointment process is done this time of year. Depending what direction
Council wishes to go with item #2 (above), the City can:
a. Appoint ARC members to open vacancies on other committees.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Palm Desert City Council
Page 2
January 13, 2016
a. Appoint ARC members to open vacancies on other committees.
b. Since we have only ten applicants for twenty-one vacancies, direct staff to
advertise the vacancies in the Desert Sun before interviewing and
appointing members. (Please see attached memo from Rachelle Klassen).
C. On January 14, 2016, Council will likely accept the resignation of Mr. Ken
Stendell from the Planning Commission. After this occurs, staff suggests a
stand-alone advertisement for the Planning Commission vacancy before
the Council considers appointing a new member.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: John M. Wohlmuth, City Manager
From: Ryan Stendell, Director of Community Development
Date: January 7, 2016
Subject: Committees and Commissions (Community Development)
Community Development has six of the commissions listed in your memo dated
December 18, 2015. Below please find my recommendations related to each of the
following committees/commissions:
1. Architectural Review Commission: Staff would recommend amending the bylaws
to make the membership a total of seven members. I am not recommending
eliminating members, but achieve the result through attrition. The commission
seems more effective with a slightly lesser membership.
2. Art in Public Places Commission: Staff is not recommending any structural
changes to the commission at this time. However, at some point I would like to
have the Art in Public Places Commission and the City Council review the current
Art Program to discuss if any new direction should be pursued.
3. Parks and Recreation Commission: The past several years have been fairly slow
for the Parks and Recreation Commission, and staff has cancelled meetings
when not necessary. We seem to have a need between four to six meetings
annually and could amend the bylaws to reflect this change, if so desired. If not,
staff will continue with cancelling any unnecessary meetings.
4. Plannina Commission: No changes are necessary at this time.
5. Citizens' Sustainabilitv Committee: Staff would recommend that we amend the
bylaws to call meetings on an as -needed basis. Currently this committee meets
quarterly; however, as structured has limited value. The City's Principal Planner
is assigned the role of the Sustainability Coordinator and keeps track of the City's
cumulative sustainability efforts. Additionally, the Sustainability Coordinator
keeps current with industry trends and attends workshops when available. Staff
believes the value with this committee is reviewing new concepts that the City
may wish to employ.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: John M. Wohlmuth, City Manager
From: Rachelle D. Klassen, City Clerk
Date: January 8, 2016
Subject: Standino Committee/Commission Membershio - Attraction and Retention.
it is the time of year when, typically, the City Council gets copies of all current active Committee/Commission
applications, considers applicants for various vacancies and current members for reappointments. However,we're
in a bit of a dilemma with attraction and retention of community members for these volunteer appointee positions
becoming increasingly challenging.
■ Currently, there are a total of 10 active applications on file (attached list); some of these applicants have been
previously interviewed.
■ On the January 14 Council Agenda, there are three (3) resignations for acceptance: 2-Art In Public Places
Commission; 1-Planning Commission. As of this date, there are a total of 21 actual vacancies (w/o ARC) in
the standing Committees/Commissions, noting that some of these require certain prerequisites for
consideration of appointment (i.e., Building Board of Appeals, EPBID, Hotel & Signature Events and Marketing
Committees, Planning Commission, and Sustainability Committee). (See attached one -page table.)
■ Whenever staff is contacted for information about opportunities to serve the City, service on thi
Committees/Commissions is suggested and applications are provided to interested persons. Further,
throughout the year there have been articles in the City's BrightSide newsletter to solicit interest and
applicants, along with then -Mayor Susan Marie Weber's letter to the Desert Sun editor in late November in
praise of our current roster of Committee/Commission Members and to reach out to prospective members
(copy attached). Afterward, Clerk's Office did receive a handful of contacts regarding service and has
provided each of those interested community members with an application package.
■ Again in 2015, we've run into numerous attendance issues with Members of the Marketing and Citizens'
Sustainability Committees, mostly due to these Members' business commitments that are the reason these
individuals are selected for the positions they hold with the City. For,Committees/Commissions that meet
monthly, two (2) unexcused absences are allowed, thethird constitutes automatic resignation; bodies meeting
twice monthly are allowed five (5) unexcused, the sixth being automatic resignation.
■ Informal polling of other City Clerks around the region and State indicates they, too, report attraction and
retention issues with their city's affiliated legislative bodies - it's not unique to Palm Desert.
Some ideas to consider going forward: 1) Through attrition, shrink membership of some of the bodies that were
arbitrarily increased in order to appoint all who were deemed qualified and willing to serve; 2) consolidate some
of the bodies to provide greater substance in their mission; 3) amend various bodies' bylaws to reflect an as -
needed meeting schedule rather than monthly to lessen the number of meetings requiring mandatory attendance.
At this time, and with City Council concurrence, City Clerk would recommend running a display ad in The Desert
Sun to advertise current vacancies to attract more applicants and hold off on making appointments and
reappointments until the pool of candidates is greater. This has happened occasionally in years' past under similar
circumstances. Those Members whose terms were set to expire on 12/31/15 remain in place until such time a -
they are either reappointed or replaced by a successor (P.D.M.C. § 2.34.0101A]).
Thank you for your consideration. City Clerk's Office stands ready to act on whatever direction we are given.

Those of us who have the good fortune to be affiliated with the city of Palm Desert know that much of the credit
for our community's warm, inviting character belongs to its involved citizenry, many of whom generously serve
as volunteers. More than 100 of these citizen volunteers serve on Palm Desert's 17 standing committees and
commissions, on everything from the Architectural Review Committee to the City's Youth Committee.
Some serve on the Planning Commission, making important decisions about how Palm Desert will develop and
grow. Others sit on the City's Sustainability Committee, strategizing how our community can continue to thrive
while protecting the environment and our natural resources. Still others serve on the City's Public Safety
Commission, ensuring that Palm Desert's neighborhoods, shopping centers, and streets remain safe and
inviting places for residents and visitors alike.
It is important to recognize these dedicated volunteers and celebrate their extraordinary contributions to our city. Palm Desert and the entire Coachella
Valley are better places thanks to the tireless service of these fine individuals who work days and nights for their community with no financial reward.
On behalf of the Palm Desert City Council, our city staff and the community as a whole I would like to express sincere and deep gratitude to the
committee and commission members who dedicate their valuable time and exceptional talents to ensure that our community continues to be a vibrant
and beautiful place.
I would also extend a cordial invitation to Palm Desert residents to apply for a number of openings on several city committees and commissions, including
the aforementioned Sustainability Committee, Cultural Resources Preservation Committee, Library Promotion Committee, Rent Review Commission, and
more. Some openings have specific application criteria, such as work experience or educational background. Others simply require civic mindedness and
a willingness to volunteer,
The City Council will be interviewing applicants in January. For more information about openings on Palm Deserfs committees and commissions, please
itact the office of the City Clerk by phone at (760) 346-0611 or via email at rklassen@cityofpalmdesert.org.
Email Palm Desert Mayor Susan Marie Weber at cityhall@cityofpalmdesert.org.

DESCRIPTION:
The Living Desert was established in 1970 by several trustees of the Palm Springs Desert Museum
who foresaw the impact that resort development would have on their local desert ecosystem. This
foresight led to an interpretive nature trail and preserve in Palm Desert. Among the trustees was Philip
L. Boyd who also founded the Riverside campus of the University of California and the Deep Canyon
Research Station in Palm Desert. Among his first tasks was to hire a resident naturalist. This person
turned outto be a young woman with energy, intelligence and ambition, as well as experience as a zoo
keeper and park ranger, plus graduate work in wildlife biology. Karen Sausman was President and
CEO of The Living Desert for forty years and has recently retired. The vision that built The Living Desert
and the love of the desert shared by Phillip Boyd, Karen Sausman, members, volunteers, staff,
trustees, and friends, will be carried forward by the new President and CEO, Allen Monroe.
