DISCUSSION
The Council Handbook states the following about the process for Council Appointments, which includes the City Council considering and ratifying the Mayor’s List via a Consent item:
“It shall be the prerogative of the Mayor, taking into consideration relative length of Council service, individual Council Member preference and equivalency, to assign individual Council Members to these various committees. Normally appointments are for a two-year period but may be renewed at the Mayor's discretion where Council Members have particular experience or expertise with respect to the business of a particular committee.
Upon the Mayor’s selection, the City Council will consider ratification of the Mayor’s Council Appointments List via a Consent item. If terms coincide with the Mayor’s appointments, the item will also include resolutions appointing members Alameda County Abatement District Board of Trustees and the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency and the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water System Financing Authority Boards of Directors.” On December 12, 2023, Council adopted a resolution to establish a Council Public Safety Committee and combine the Airport and Infrastructure Committees.
