CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PAT BURNS, CITY COUNCILMEMBER
DATE: JANUARY 17, 2023
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
The City has a number of Boards and Commissions that serve as advisory bodies to the City Council. City Council members make appointments to these Boards and Commissions. However, there have been instances in recent years where certain Boards and Commissions have more than one appointe e from a Councilmember.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Any Councilmember with more than one appointee to a Board or Commission will need to select a single appointee moving forward. Anyone Board Member or Commissioner who is not selected by the Council Member, will be excused. This is intended to provide a more efficient Board and Commission to operate as the Commissions are designed.
Direct the City Manager to facilitate the adjusting of Boards and Commissions such that those with direct Councilmember appointments be reduced or limited to a 7-member Board or Commission - one appointee for each Councilmember and no more. If any Resolutions or other Council action is required to make this modification, return to Council at the next regular meeting with whatever approvals are necessary from Council.
