SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Appointing Ms. Shareen Purcell to the Library Commission to Fulfill the Unexpired Term of Ms. Kelly Peterson
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) appointing Ms. Shareen Purcell to the Library Commission to fulfill the unexpired term of Ms. Kelly Peterson, which will expire on September 30, 2022.
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
Following the July 27, 2021 City Commission interviews, the Council established an alternate list comprising eligible applicants who were not selected to fill vacancies because there were not enough seats to appoint them. The alternate list comprised four Hayward residents who were nominated for specific commissions; it will be valid for one year and expire at the beginning of the new recruitment process. The Council, during its September 21, 2021 Council meeting, confirmed the list of alternates by commission. Ms. Shareen Purcell was selected as the alternate for the Library Commission.
On February 26, 2022, Ms. Kelly Peterson submitted a letter of resignation, which created an unexpected vacancy on the Library Commission.
Ms. Shareen Purcell, who is a Library Commission alternate, was contacted to confirm her eligibility status and her interest for serving on the Library Commission. If appointed to the Library Commission, Ms. Shareen Purcell’s term would be effective March 22, 2022, and would end on September 30, 2022.
