SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Appointing Ms. Elena Lepe to the Community Services Commission to Fill the Unexpired Term of Ms. Lacei Ramirez-Amodei
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) appointing Ms. Elena Lepe to the Community Services Commission to fill the unexpired term of Ms. Lacei Ramirez-Amodei, which will expire on September 30, 2026.
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
Following the July 12, 2022 City Commission interviews, the Council established an alternate list comprising eligible applicants who were not selected to fill vacancies because they were not enough vacant seats to appoint them. The alternate list comprises three Hayward residents who were nominated for specific commissions as follows: Ms. Elena Lepe (Community Services Commission); Ms. Elaine Alvite (Community Services Commission); and Ms. Arti Garg (Planning Commission). The alternate list will be valid for one year and will expire at the beginning of the new recruitment process. On August 19, 2022, Ms. Lacei Ramirez-Amodei, now former member of the Community Services Commission, submitted a letter of resignation which created an unexpected vacancy on the Community Services Commission. The Council, during its September 20, 2022 Council meeting, confirmed the list of alternates for two commissions. Ms. Elena Lepe, who is a Community Services Commission alternate, was contacted to confirm her eligibility status and her interest in serving on the Community Services Commission. If appointed to the Community Services Commission, Ms. Elena Lepe’s term would be effective immediately and would end on September 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
