SUBMITTED BY: Rachelle D. 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

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.
