Executive Summary
The City of Carlsbad has a number of boards and commissions that provide valuable input to the City Council. The Maddy Act (California Government Code Sections 54970-54974) requires the city to list all of its local appointments to make sure the public is aware of the opportunities to participate on local advisory boards, committees and commissions, and to tap into the vast reservoir of talent in the community for these appointments.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file the Boards, Commissions and Committees Local Appointments List for 2025.
Explanation & Analysis
The Maddy Act requires each legislative body to prepare a local appointments list on or before Dec. 31 of each year that contains:
• The appointive terms that will be expiring during the next calendar year • The name of the incumbent appointee
• The date of appointment and the term expiration date
The law only requires that the list be made available to the public by posting on the city’s website or at local libraries. The City Clerk’s Office will post copies in these locations as well as at City Hall and will also publish the list twice in The Coast News newspaper before the Dec. 31, 2024, deadline.
Fiscal Analysis
The costs associated with publishing the notice in The Coast News were budgeted in the City Clerk’s Office fiscal year 2024-25 operating budget.

Next Steps
The City Clerk’s Office has prepared the annual list, which includes all board, commission and committee terms scheduled to expire during 2025.
The list will be published twice in a local newspaper and posted at City Hall, city libraries and on the city’s website before Dec. 31, 2024, in accordance with California Government Code Section 54973.
The City Clerk’s Office will accept applications for the listed appointments during 2025. These applications are available on the city’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office. The City Council will review the applications and make appointments as vacancies occur.
Members of boards, commissions and committees are subject to the provisions of the California Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interests and complete ethics training and workplace harassment training, as required by state law (Government Code Sections 53234-53235.2).
Environmental Evaluation
This action 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 in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and therefore does not require environmental review.
