Klassen, City Clerk DATE: December 9, 2010 CONTENTS: • Staff Report • Committee/Commission One-page Membership Status • Committee/Commission Term Roster • City Council Liaison Assignments Recommendation 1) Discuss convenient schedule for: a) Getting names of selected Committee/Commission Applicants to the City Clerk's Office for scheduling interviews; b) selecting a day(s) for this purpose to conduct the 15-minute sessions with each Applicant; c) considering the City Council Liaison Assignments for the coming year. 2) By Minute Motion: a) Set date for conducting a Study Session for Interviews and/or an Adjourned or Special Meeting of the City Council for making appointments/reappointments to the City's Committees and Commissions; b) make City Council assignments to the internal and external Committees/Commissions at the aforementioned meeting; OR make the City Council Liaison Assignments for 2011 at this meeting. Background Generally speaking in either December or early January each year, City Council undertakes the process of making appointments and reappointments to the City's standing Committees and Commissions. Committee/Commission appointments are based on the calendar year and with the exception of the Youth Committee (one-year terms), full terms of office are four(4) years. However, in the case of filling vacancies to the various boards, appointments to the vacant terms are made, and those appointed become eligible for reappointment at the end of the term being filled. Applications for Committee/Commission Service are available and accepted by the City Clerk's Office on a year-round basis and are retained as being active for at least two years Staff Report - Consideration of the Annual Committee/Commission Process December 9, 2010 Page No. 2 or until the City Clerk's Office is otherwise notified. In the September/October 2010 issue of the City's Bright Side newsletter, a specific announcement regarding existing vacancies (as of the deadline for said issue, approximately mid-August)was made. Additionally, The Desert Sun mentioned various vacancies available on the City's standing Committees/Commissions periodically in community reports during late summer and early fall. Note that Applications for the newly formed Citizens' Sustainability Committee have been advertised separately since early November with a due date of November 30. Complete Applications contain the Personal Information Form and a Questionnaire for the Applicant to submit after attending at least two Committee/Commission meetings of their choosing and their impressions of those meetings can be recorded. This ensures that an Applicant has background information on the objectives of the Committee or Commission they desire to serve. All Applicants who wanted to be considered in this year's annual process for all standing Committees and Commissions must have submitted their Applications by the close of business on Tuesday, November 30. As of the writing of this report, the City Clerk's Office was awaiting the close of the Application Period, and immediately thereafter will be preparing binders of all the active applications for each City Councilmember that will be distributed for their review on Friday, December 3. Therefore, your discussion about scheduling and setting a day and time for conducting the interviews, appointments, and making Liaison Assignments is respectfully requested. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact to City funds by conducting the annual Committee/Commission process.
