CITIZEN BOARDS/COMISSIONS/COMMITTEES
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
Mayor's Office 8:00 — 9:00 a.m. •
Council Present: Mayor Protem Kathy Coffey, Chair; Council Member Maureen Adkison
Absent: Council Member Rick Ensey
Staff Present: City Clerk Kloster, Deputy City Clerk Watkins, Planning Manager Davenport, and
CED Director Morales
City Planning Commission
Following review of the applications submitted, the committee made the following recommendations:
Ron Anderson, Bill Cook, Craig Rath, Alfred Rose, Benjamin Shoval, and David Watson. That leaves one
position still to be determined. There are three other applicants that may be interviewed in the near future:
James Adams, Scott Clark, and Leda Saenz. One other alternative that is being researched is to consider
moving David Huycke from the potentially "to -be- disbanded" Bicycle Pedestrian Committee to the Planning
Commission. He is being contacted to determine his interest. If he declines, interviews will be set up with
the other three candidates. Note: David was contacted and is willing to be placed on the City Planning
Committee. The Nominating Committee recommends David Huycke for the commission.
It is the goal of the Nominating Committee to have these candidates ready for recommendation to the City
Council at the June 15 meeting to be effective July 1, 2010. Recommendation for term years will be
0 determined by a random drawing.
Air Terminal Board •
At the last moment, word was received that Tomas Holbrook requested not to be considered for
reappointment. The three other applications are 3 and 4 years old and need to be determined if there is still
interest. It was decided to do an outreach seeking current applications for this position.
Bicycle /Pedestrian Advisory Committee
Because of no staff support available and lack of activity in the committee, it will be recommended that this
committee be disbanded and direct the Legal Department to prepare the proper legislation to do so
(resolution R -94 -37 established the committee).
Community Review Board
The template showed two terms expiring and only one application. The committee thought it might be
appropriate to consider the three additional planning applications for this position if they were contacted and
determined to be interested. Following the meeting: In talking with Joe Caruso, there apparently had
been some confusion. The one application (Phyllis Musgrove) was to fill a vacancy resulting from a
resignation (Judy Pozarich). Joe was unaware of the two expiring terms (Martin Chacon and Nester
Hernandez). They have since been contacted and are interested in being reappointed. Council Members
Coffey and Adkison were contacted and agreed to recommend these reappointments.
Federal Renewal Community Commercial Revitalization Deduction Allocations Committee
It was recommended by Michael Morales that the terms for the members of this committee be extended to
December 31, 2010 when the designation will expire. The committee agreed and will recommend the
extension to the City Council. .
