RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Discuss and ratify appointments of City Council representatives to City Council Subcommittees and Regional Boards and Commissions in keeping with City Council Policy No. 2.
DISCUSSION
During the annual City Council reorganization, the City Council reviews the designated representatives and alternates to various subcommittees and regional boards and commissions for the following calendar year. The attached appointment list includes the established Council subcommittees and regional boards and commissions to which members of the City Council have been appointed. Along with consideration of Council appointments for the calendar year, this review provides an opportunity to evaluate the addition or exclusion of City representation on identified regional boards and commissions.
On December 17, 2024, the City Council reviewed and approved the current appointment list. At the time of approval, the City Council District 2 seat was vacant. During this discussion, the City Council requested the item return for discussion and reconsideration once the District 2 vacancy was filled. Subsequently, at the January 15, 2025, City Council meeting, Ben Diederich was appointed as the City Councilmember for District 2.
The attached appointment list has been updated to remove the Western Riverside Projects and Programs Committee. Participation on this committee is determined through appointments made by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). City representatives may request appointment through RCTC to various standing committees or boards. Therefore, the City Council is only required to appoint a representative and alternate to RCTC. Additionally in March 2024, the City Council voted to appoint City representatives to the Southwest Higher Education
