RECOMMENDATION
That the Council decide whether to extend the nominating period for boards and commissions.
ANALYSIS
On September 17, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution No. 24-156 instituting a nominating panel system for appointment of individuals to boards and commissions. The Council previously removed all members of the boards and commissions, except for Civil Service Commission, subject to reappointment or replacement. Under the nomination policy, the nominating panels had an original 60-day period to make nominations subject to a 30-day extension. On December 17, 2025, the Council subsequently extended the nomination period to February 14, 2025, which is set to expire. The Council panels have made progress on nominations but the Council desires additional time to complete nominations. The Council requested this agenda item to approve a motion further extending the nomination period. A motion has been prepared extending the period. If the Council is inclined to extend the nominating period, it must select a date to extend it.
