Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the above-entitled Resolution extending the current term for the ACTC’s PAPCO position to March 4, 2025.
Background
The Alameda County Transportation Commission’s Paratransit Advisory and Planning Commission (“PAPCO”) is a regional Commission comprised of 23 residents throughout Alameda County. The Commission’s purpose is to make recommendations to improve the planning and coordination of transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities in Alameda County. Commission terms are for two years.
Each year following City Council reorganization, the City Council appoints City representatives to various county, regional and statewide bodies (“regional bodies”). For some of these positions, the representative receives a stipend from the regional bodies as compensation for their attendance at meetings. The City Council thereby adopted Resolution No. 12-146:
“Resolution of the City Council of the City of Emeryville Relating to Appointment of Councilmembers to Compensated Positions and Directing the City Clerk to Post Form 806 as Required by FPPC Regulation 18705.5”.
Accordingly, all Council Members may participate in a decision to appoint representatives to a compensated position. The City Clerk will subsequently amend and publicly notice the completed FPPC Form No. 806 on the City’s website.
