Title
Staff Report for Approval of the City of San Leandro's 2012 Local Appointments List of the Upcoming Vacancies on the City's Boards and Commissions
Staffreport
RECOMMENDATIONS
State law requires the posting of a Local Appointments List, to inform residents of the upcoming vacancies on the City's boards and commissions. Staff recommends that the City Council review and approve by motion the posting of the 2012 Local Appointments List.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 54970 et seq., known as the Maddy Act, is intended to raise the awareness of members of the community about volunteer opportunities on local boards, commissions, and committees. It requires the City Council, by December 31 of each year, to prepare and post a list of "...all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency...with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position."
Analysis
The terms of most board and commission members terminate upon the expiration of the regular term of the Mayor or the Councilmember representing the Councilmember district from which the member was appointed. Thus, the terms of the members representing Districts 2, 4, and 6 will be expiring on December 31, 2012, and those members are listed on the 2012 Local Appointments List.
Current Agency Policies
Members with expired terms continue to serve until a successor has been appointed.
Summary of Public Outreach Efforts
Upon City Council approval, the list will be posted by December 31, 2011, and remain posted for one year on the bulletin boards outside the City Council Chambers and at the Main Library, and on the City website.
