CITY OF PALM DESERT
CITY COUNCIL DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2022
PREPARED BY: Niamh M. Ortega, Deputy City Clerk
REQUEST: Approval of the 2022 City Council Liaison Assignments
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, approve the 2022 City Council Liaison Assignments as
proposed, or as may be modified during discussion at the meeting.
Strategic Plan
This request represents routine administrative business of the City. Although there is no
specific Strategic Plan objective to associate with this item, it provides the City Council
and the public with advance notice of liaisons to committees of interest to the community
as well as information filed with the Fair Political Practices Commission relative to
Councilmember stipends earned from outside appointments.
Background Analysis
The City of Palm Desert has formed a wide variety of committees and commissions over
the years to act as advisory committees to the City Council. These committees enlist the
expertise and guidance of many Palm Desert residents and community volunteers, and
members of the City Council are appointed by the Mayor to serve as liaisons, working
together towards a common goal.
The 2022 City Council Liaison Assignments List was developed by the Mayor in
consultation with her colleagues. In order to accommodate Councilmembers’ busy
schedules, there is an allowance for Primary Attendee(s) to designate additional
Councilmember alternates to attend various standing meetings on a case-by-case basis
when both Primary Attendee(s) and Alternate(s) are unavailable.
Committee and commission meetings have been conducted in a virtual setting through
Zoom for much of the past year. Addressed in another staff report on the January 13,
2022 Council meeting agenda, it is staff’s recommendation that these meetings continue
virtually and be reassessed at a later time both with respect to the current public health
conditions and available options with the pending technology upgrades to the
Administrative Conference Room and the remodel of the Council Chambers.
