Staff Report
The City Council is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.04.090 to select a Mayor Pro Tempore after a general municipal election. This council member, nominated by the Mayor and approved by a vote of the City Council, temporarily serves as the mayor if the Mayor is absent or unable to act.
In addition, in keeping with Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.04.100 and California Government Code Section 40605, part of the City Council’s post-election reorganization includes meeting for the purpose of appointing individual members of the City Council or the CMWD Board to committees or other bodies as the council may find necessary for its reorganization and effective functioning. This includes the City Council’s regional committee and subcommittee assignments.
Exhibit 10 is a list of the City Council regional committee assignments, as confirmed by the City Council on Jan. 10, 2023. The list does not include those committees on which various City Council members serve as a result of their appointments by other agencies.
Exhibit 9 includes the two positions on the City Council’s Legislative Subcommittee, which have two-year terms.
Attachment A to Exhibit 8 lists two appointments to the North County Homelessness Action Committee. This committee is inactive and has not met since 2021. Staff are recommending that appointments not be made to this committee until the committee becomes active, at which time staff will return to the City Council will an item addressing the appointments.
Exhibit 6 is a Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board resolution requested by the Clerk of the Board of the San Diego County Water Authority, approving the designation of two Carlsbad Municipal Water District representatives (currently Council Member Teresa Acosta and Keith Lewinger) as the other’s proxy should one member be absent while representing Carlsbad Municipal Water District at a San Diego County Water Authority meeting.
Fiscal Analysis
The recommended action has no fiscal impact.
Next Steps
The City Clerk will update the city’s website and City Council meeting agenda template to reflect the new committee assignments.
Environmental Eval uation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
