AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MORENO
VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CHANGE OF ZONE (PEN21 -0204) TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING ATLAS FROM RESIDENTIAL 5 (R5)
DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE -FAMILY 10 (RS10) DISTRICT, FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF CACTUS
AVENUE EAST OF MORENO BEACH DRIVE (APN’S 478 -090-018,
478-090-024, AND 478-090-025)
The City Council of the City of Moreno Valley does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1 GENERAL:
1.1 RC Hobbs Company (“Applicant”) has submitted an application for the approval of the Bradshaw Collection project, which includes the approval of a Change of Zone (PEN20-0175) (“Application”), which is a request to amend the City’s Zoning Atlas from Residential 5 (R5) District to Residential Single- Family 10 (RS10) District for the property located at the northeast side of Cactus Avenue east of Moreno Beach Drive comprised of approximately 4.81 acres (APN 478-090-018, 478-090-024, and 478-090-025) (“Project Site”), along with requested approval of General Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, and Tentative Tract Map (collectively, the “Proposed Project”); and
1.2 At its November 10, 2022, regular meeting, upon a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Proposed Project, and denied the associated General Plan Amendment, thereby denying the Change of Zone for the Discovery Residential project and recommended denial to the City Council; and
1.3 The Applicant timely filed an appeal of the Planning Commission’s determination; and
1.4 A duly noticed public hearing was held before the City Council on December 20, 2022, for deliberations and decision; and
1.5 The matter was fully discussed, and the public and other agencies were given opportunity to present testimony and documentation; and
1.6 An Initial Study has been prepared for the Proposed Project for the purpose of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on the Initial Study, including all supporting technical evidence, it was determined that the Proposed Project impacts, as mitigated in accordance with the Mitigation and Monitoring Report, have been reduced to levels of insignificance and there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the Proposed Project will have a significant effect on the environmen t in a manner that would otherwise require the preparation and certification of an Environmental Impact Report, and approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is an appropriate environmental determination for the Proposed Project.

Attachment: Planning Commission Public Comments (6019 : Bradshaw Collection) Good Evening MORENO VALLEY Planning Commissioners, November 10, 2022.
My name is Bill Redden. I live at 28163 Bradshaw circle and received Occupancy from City in November of 2021. I have watched the process of the General Plan development and noted that the vacant land surrounding my home (on nearly acre) remained designate as 5 dwellings per acre. I did not object to development of 8 homes to north west of me or the a tentative tract map of 6 homes across the street. These housing developments were consistent with General Plan of less than 5 dwellings per acre.
I and home owners surrounding the development are opposed to the development as currently proposed. We are opposed to the proposed General Plan Amendment and change of zone.
Specific issues are as follows.
General Plan Issues.
1.The General Plan 2040 adopted June 2021, states in Scope and Purpose of the General Plan: The Moreno Valley General Plan can be considered the city’s development constitution, containing both a statement of community’s vision of its long-term development…” page 1-3.
2.Furthermore for clarification, page 2-8 states: “The General Plan Land Use Map illustrates the long-term vision for development and conservation in the planning area..” Having a general plan amendment less than year and half appears to be inconsistent with city’s General Plan’s scope and purpose.
3.According to General Plan, developments need to be consistent with General Plan polices. Under policy Goal LCC-3: “Build a distinctive sense of place and pride in Moreno Valley. LCC.3-2: use development standards to ensure smooth transitions for areas that that border one another so that neighborhoods and districts maintain their unique qualities while being compatible with one another”. Thus even if General Plan amendment is permitted with R10 butting up against R5 area, there must be transition area between these two developments. No transition zone is proposed in the development.
Issues with the Initial Study/Mitigated negative Declaration.
1.On page 29. Inaccurate statement: “The project is to provide 37 new single-family residence, which would be similar to the single-family p1 of 2
F.1.s
Packet Pg. 396
Attachment: Planning Commission Public Comments (6019 : Bradshaw Collection)
2.residential uses that are adjacent to the west of the site, to the south of the site beyond the flood control channel, and to the north fo the site beyond Finch ave.” As can be noted in Exhibit A showing current housing and projected housing development, this 37 housing development is not similar. Further more, there is no flood channel south of the site and there is no Finch ave north of the site.
Issues with Conditions of Approval.
As stated in tra ffic study, 359 vehicles per day are to pass through Bradshaw Circle. Bradshaw Circle is designated as private street that does not meet current city standards and is not maintained by the city. The development is only required to make improvements along the west side of Bradshaw circle.
The question is how long will the street last with such relatively heavy load of traffic on the street to west?
Significant observation.
The owner lives out of state in Utah and developer/builder lives out of the Riverside county. They are not part of community impacted by their development.
In conclusion please deny the general Plan amendment and zone change. The development should comply with recently approved General Plan of 2040 of 5 dwellings per acre.
Thank you for allowing me to express my concerns regarding this development.

FROM: Brian Mohan, Assistant City Manager
AGENDA DATE: January 17, 2023
TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR ONE NATIONAL POLLUTANT
DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM MAIL BALLOT
PROCEEDING
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommendations: That the City Council:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing and accept public testimony for the mail ballot proceeding for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Residential Regulatory Rate to be applied to the property tax bill of the parcel identified he rein (KB Home Coastal, Inc. , located near the southwest corner of Cottonwood Ave. and Moreno Beach Dr., east of Bethany Rd.);
2. Direct the City Clerk to open and count the returned NPDES ballot;
3. Verify and accept the results of the mail ballot proceeding a s maintained by the City Clerk on the Official Tally Sheet and if approved, set the rate and impose the applicable NPDES Regulatory Rate on the Assessor’s Parcel Number as mentioned;
4. Receive and file the Official Tally Sheet with the City Clerk’s office.
SUMMARY
The action before the City Council is to conduct a Public Hearing for one National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) mail ballot proceeding. The process to accept one parcel into the City’s NPDES funding program impacts only the prop erty owner identified below, not the general citizens or taxpayers of the City.
DISCUSSION
F.2
Packet Pg. 400
The Clean Water Act of 1987 established requirements for the discharge of Urban Runoff from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems under the NPDES program. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board administers the NPDES program through the issuance of a Permit. The NPDES program requires public agencies to obtain coverage under the Permit to discharge urban stormwater runoff from municipally owned drainage facilities, including streets, highways, storm drains, and flood control channels. The City’s current NPDES Permit requires all new development projects to comply with stormwater management requirements.
The City Council originally adopted the NPDES Residential Regulatory Rate on June 10, 2003. Each fiscal year, the City Council reviews and sets the rates for the following fiscal year.
As a condition of approval for the development project identified below, the applicant is required to provide a n ongoing funding source for the NPDES program. The funding is used to mitigate the increase in costs to the NPDES program, which will be created by their development project.

Residential Rate
1The parcel’s development status will be evaluated, and the applied rate ca lculated in accordance with the rate schedule, prior to levying the NPDES rate on the property tax roll each year. The applied rate is the amount applied to the property tax bill. It cannot exceed the maximum rate.
An applicant has two options to satisfy the condition of approval:
1. The property owner a pproves the NPDES rate and authorize s the City to collect the rate on the annual Riverside County property tax bill through participation in a successful mail ballot proceeding; or
2. The applicant funds an endowment.
The Property Owner listed above elected to have the NPDES rate applied to the annual property tax bill of the property under development. Proposition 218 outlines the process to approve new charges, or an increase to existing charges, on propert y tax bills, which includes conducting a mail ballot proceeding, noticing requirements, timing of noticing, and providing an opportunity for the property owner to address the City Council (i.e., public comment portion of the Public Hearing). A notice descr ibing the purpose and amount of the charge, including the potential annual inflationary adjustment, and a ballot for the property was mailed to the Property Owner at least 45 -days in advance of tonight’s meeting (see Attachment 1). The ballot is due to the City Clerk prior to the close of the Public Hearing. The ballot can be opened and counted, and results announced, at the close of the Public Hearing.
F.2
Packet Pg. 401
The condition of approval to provide a funding source for the NPDES program will be satisfied with a property owner’s approval of the NPDES mail ballot (i.e., marked yes and signed) and City Council acceptance of the results. In the event the ballot is not returned, is not approved, or is invalid (e.g., unmarked or unsigned), this condition of approval will remain unsatisfied and may delay development of the project.
This action meets the Strategic Plan Priorities to manage and maximize Moreno Valley’s public infrastructure to ensure an excellent quality of life, develop and implement innovative, cost effective infrastructure maintenance programs, public facilities management strategies, and capital improvement programming and project delivery.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Conduct the Public Hearing and upon its close, open, count, and verify the returned ballot and accep t the results. Staff recommends this alternative since it will satisfy the project’s condition of approval provided the property owner approves the ballot.
2. Open the Public Hearing and continue it to a future regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Staff does not recommend this alternative because it will delay announcement of the ballot results and may delay project development.
3. Do not conduct the Public Hearing. Staff does not recommend this alternative since it will delay the condition of approval fro m being satisfied and may delay project development. The City will incur additional costs to restart the 45-day noticing period.
4. Do not conduct the Public Hearing at this time but reschedule it to a date specific regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Staff does not recommend this alternative because it may delay project development and will cause the City to incur additional costs to restart the 45 -day noticing period.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue received from the NPDES rate is restricted and can only be u sed within the stormwater management program. The revenue provides funding to maintain compliance with the unfunded requirements of the Permit. It also offsets stormwater management program expenses, which reduces the financial impact to the General Fund. The NPDES rate is only applied to the property tax bills of parcels where approval of the rate has been authorized through a successful mail ballot proceeding.
The FY 2022/23 maximum Residential Rate is $ 374.52 per parcel, and any division thereof. The maximum NPDES rates are subject to an annual inflationary adjustment.
However, the annual adjustment cannot be applied unless the City Council annually F.2
Packet Pg. 402
authorizes such adjustment. The increase to the maximum rate cannot exceed the annual inflationary adjustm ent without approval of the property owners subject to the charge. The NPDES rate applied to the property tax bill will be based on the development status of the property at the time the applied rates are calculated for the upcoming fiscal year.
NOTIFICATION
The ballot documents were mailed to the Property Owner at least 45-days in advance of the Public Hearing. The documents included a notice, NPDES ballot, applicable NPDES Rate schedule, map of the project area, instructions for marking and returning the ballot, and a postage-paid return envelope addressed to the City Clerk.
The Press -Enterprise published the legal notice for tonight’s Public Hearing on December 29, 2022 and January 5, 2023.

TITLE:
Mayor and City Council
Steve Quintanilla, Interim City Attorney
January 17, 2023
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
SCOPE OF THE MAYOR’S DUTIES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council:
1. Discuss the proposed changes to the scope of the Mayor’s duties and responsibilities and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND
In June 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 988, attached hereto. Ordinance No. 988 includes numerous provisions which describe the duties and responsibilities of the mayor. The duties and responsibilities set forth in Ordinance No. 988 were derived from various sources, including various state codes, case law, Attorney General Opinions, legal tr eatises applicable to cities, the City’s “Rules of Procedure for Council Meetings and Related Functions and Activities” (“Rules of Procedure) and the “Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure” (“Standard Code”). It is important to note that the only the duties and responsibilities set forth in the state codes and other applicable legal authority cannot be change, while the duties and responsibilities derived from the Rules of Procedure and Standard Code can be repealed, amended, or maintained. The same applies to other provisions which are contained in Ordinance No. 988 which are not legally required and are thus purely discretionary.
At the December 20, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting, Council Member Elena Baca - Santa Cruz made a motion to “ add the Mayor’s Duties Ordinance to a future agenda to consider amendments that will include, among other things, requiring the Council to revisit the scope of the Mayor’s duties within a certain time frame after a new person assumes the duties of the Mayor through eit her an election or an appointment . . . .” After some discussion, Council Member Baca -Santa Cruz mentioned that the matter be G.1
Packet Pg. 411
discussed at a future date, which Interim City Attorney confirmed it would come back as a discussion item, after which Mayor Pro Tem Delgado “I’ll second that we put it on a future agenda to discuss,” and it was passed 3 -2, with Mayor Pro Tem Delgado and Council Member Baca-Santa Cruz and Council Member Barnard voting yes, and Mayor Cabrera and Council Member Marquez voting no.
Pursuant to Section 3.1 (Agenda Items) of the Rules of Procedure, items may be placed on the agenda of any regular meeting, special meetings or study session with the consent of a majority of the City Council obtained during a public meeting of the City Council.
Summary of State Laws Pertaining to the Mayor’s Duties & Responsibilities
The City of Moreno Valley is a “general law city.” As a general law city, the City is subject to a wide array of “general laws” of the state. Basically, cities organized und er the general laws of the state are subject to all constraints imposed by the state’s general laws, even those applicable to local municipal affairs. Pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, Section 7 , the powers conferred upon general law cities a re derived from the California Constitution, including the "police power" and those general powers conferred by state law.
California Government Code Section 34903 provides that in a general law city, where the mayor is directly elected on a city-wide basis by the registered voters throughout the city, the elected mayor " is a member of the city council and has all the powers and duties of a member of the city council ." This means that, as set forth California Government Code Section 36803 , the directly el ected mayor of a general law city may participate in decision-making and make or second any motion and present and discuss any matter as a member of the city council.
An additional duty of the mayor, under California Government Code Section 40602(b) , is t he requirement that the mayor sign " written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city ." Incidentally, the California Supreme Court has opined that a mayor's signing of a contract duly approved by the city council is a ministerial act that the mayor has a duty to perform. In other words, the mayor lacks the discretionary authority to refuse to sign a duly approved contract. See Williams v City of Stockton (1925) 195 C 743, 748.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 36802, the mayor is also the presiding officer at all city council meetings. However, although the mayor is the presiding officer at city council meetings, a majority of the city council makes decisions on behalf of the city council. Furthermore , per 4 McQuillin, Munic ipal Corporations §13.31 (3d rev ed 2011), the presiding officer (mayor) has a duty to adhere to and enforce the procedural law or rules applicable to the city council, keep order, and follow the course of the proceedings. In addition, per California Government Code Section 38638, the mayor or other officer in control of the police force in the city must direct a sufficient number of police officers to attend and keep order at any public meeting in the city at which, in their opinion, a breach of the peace may occur. Moreover, effective January 1, 2023, G.1
Packet Pg. 412
Senate Bill No. 1100, codified as California Government Code Section 54957.95 allows the mayor to order the removal of any individual from a city council meeting who actually disrupts the meeting, after firs t providing a warning to the individual that their behavior is disrupting the meeting and their failure to cease their behavior may result in removal.
Under the Brown Act, as specifically set forth in California Government Code Section 54956(a), the mayor as the “presiding officer” may call a special meeting of the city council. Incidentally, under the same section of the Brown Act, a majority of the city council may also call a special meeting of the city council.
Finally, pursuant to California Government Code Section 40605, an elected mayor, "with the approval of the city council, shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees unless otherwise specifically provided by statute."
In summary, an elected mayor of a general law city ha s the following duties and responsibilities under state law or other applicable law:
• The mayor has all the powers and duties of a member of the city council . (See California Government Code Section 36803.)
• The mayor may participate in decision -making and make or second any motion and present and discuss any matter as a member of the city council. (See also California Government Code Section 36803.) • The mayor must sign all "written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city," as duly approve d by the city council. (See California Government Code Section 40602(b) and Williams v City of Stockton (1925) 195 C 743, 748.)
• The mayor is the presiding officer at all city council meetings, but a majority of the city council makes decisions on behalf of the city council. (See California Government Code Section 36802.)
• The mayor has the duty to adhere to and enforce the procedural law or rules applicable to the city council, keep order, and follow the course of the proceedings. (See 4 McQuillin, Municipal Corporations §13.31 (3d rev ed 2011).)

Packet Pg. 413
Government Code Section 54957.95 allows the mayor to order the removal of any individual from a city council meeting who actually disrupts the meeting, after first providing a warning to the individual that their behavior is disrupting the meeting and their failure to cease their behavior may result in removal.
Local Policies and Procedures
Aside from the mandatory state laws, some of the mayor’s duties and responsibilities are addressed in the Rules of Procedure which were adopted and/or amended via resolutions approved over the years by former city councils. In addition, in those areas where there is ambiguity over the application of certain provisions of the Rules of Procedure, the city council is required to refer to the Standard Code which consists of over 250 additional pages of rules and procedures. Bottom line is that all the provisions pertaining to any of the mayor’s duties and responsibilities as set forth in both the Rules of Procedure and the Standard Code are discretionary, meaning that the city council can either repeal them, amend them, or maintain them. In other words, since they are not mandated by any state laws o r regulations, California Attorney General opinions, case law or other applicable legal authority, they can be changed by a majority of the city council.
Proposed Changes to Mayor’s Duties and Responsibilities
For simplicity purposes, set below are the list of duties and responsibilities set forth in Ordinance No. 988, with the highlighted provisions being the ones that are mandated by state law and other legal authorities, which means these cannot be changed; however, the remaining un -highlighted ones a re again discretionary and can be repealed, amended, or maintained.
Upon my meeting with Mayor Pro Tem Delgado and Council Member Baca -Santa Cruz, the following recommended changes have been proposed:
1. Serving as the primary liaison between the city and any other jurisdictions, unless otherwise designated by the mayor at any given time.
By eliminating this provision, each council member will be permitted to engage/communicate with representatives of other jurisdictions about any city - related matter, sub ject to certain limitations such as not representing that they are speaking on behalf of the entire city council or empowered to make any decisions or offer any financial, sponsorship or other support commitments on behalf of the city.
2. Serving as the prim ary liaison between the city and local civic organizations unless otherwise designated by the mayor at any given time.
By eliminating this provision, each council member will be permitted to engage/communicate with representatives of local civic organiza tions, such as but not limited to Rotary Club, Soroptimist, American Legion, etc. about any city - G.1

7. Serving as the primary spokesperson for t he city on all matters affecting the city regardless of the affected district.
By eliminating this provision, each council member will be permitted to engage/communicate with the media and their constituents and local businesses regarding any matter affec ting their districts, subject to certain limitations such as not representing that they are speaking on behalf of the entire city council or empowered to make any decisions or offer any financial, sponsorship or other support commitments on behalf of the city.
8. Presiding over all press conferences on behalf of the city regarding issues affecting the entire city, unless otherwise designated by the mayor at any given time. This shall not preclude individual council members from presiding over press conference s regarding issues affecting their districts, even though the issues may affect other districts as well.
9. Making public appearances on behalf of the entire city at special events , which shall not preclude council members from also making appearances at th e same special event if the event takes place in their district outside of any of the Civic Center facilities or the event involves volunteers or participants from their districts.
10. Publicizing and promoting policies and other matters approved by the city council.
By eliminating this provision, each council member will be permitted to publicize and promote policies and other matters approved by the city council that affect their districts, subject to certain limitations such as not representing that they are G.1

speaking on behalf of the entire city council or empowered to make any decisions or offer any financial, sponsorship or other support commitments on behalf of the city.
11. Publicizing and promoting current city programs, services and special events.
By eliminating this provision, each council member will be permitted to publicize and promote current city programs, services and special events that affect their districts, subject to certain limitations such as not representing that they are speaking on behalf of the entire city council or empowered to make any decisions or offer any financial, sponsorship or other support commitments on behalf of the city.

Packet Pg. 416
20. Approving monetary rewards if as recommended by a majority of the city council at a noticed public meeting of the city council. the police chief or city manager.

24. Ordering the suspension of normal bidding or purchasing requirements and allow for single and sole sourcing procurement, unless otherwise provided by applicable state law.
This is set forth in the Municipal Code, which means if it is eliminated from the list of the mayor’s duties and responsibilities, it will remain to be one of the mayor’s duties in certain situations, unless the city council adopts an ordinance that specifically repeals or amends the section of the Municipal Code where this provision exists.
25. Coordinating the performance evaluation process regarding the city manager, city attorney and city clerk.
26. Nominating the mayor pro tern subject to a majority vote of the en tire membership of the city council.
The default is that individual council members will be able to make nominations, which is the current process as set forth in the Rules of Procedure.
27. Designating a sufficient number of police officers to attend and k eep order at any public meeting, if in the mayor's opinion, a breach of the peace may occur. (California Government Code Section 38638)
28. Requiring the sergeant-at-arms to carry out all orders given by the mayor for the purpose of maintaining order and deco rum as any public meeting. (California Government Code Section 36802)
G.1
Packet Pg. 417
29. Ordering persons interrupting a public meeting to be seated or keep quiet and call for their arrest if the person does not comply.
This has been superseded by California Government Co de Section 54957.95 which authorizes the mayor to order the removal of any individual who disrupts a city council meeting.
30. Requiring witnesses to be sworn at public hearings.
Swearing in of witnesses at a public hearing can be requested by majority of t he city council at the beginning of a public hearing or requested by the city attorney on an as -needed basis, and the swearing in should be administered by the city clerk.
31. Serving as presiding officer at all meetings of the city council and other legislative bodies solely consisting of members of the city council. (California Government Code Section 36802)
32. Calling special meetings of the city council. (California Government Code Section 54956(a))
Under the Brown Act, a majority of the city council may al so call a special meeting, which is currently addressed in the Rules of Procedure.
33. Approving special proceedings for joint meetings.
This can be conducted on an ad hoc basis involving the city clerk and his/her counterpart at the other agency, with inpu t from the city manager and city attorney, and with the advice and consent of the mayor or mayor pro tem and the presiding officer of the other legislative body.
34. Approving all items on city council meeting agendas.
Since this is not mandated by state law or any other binding legal authority, it has been proposed that the items placed on the agenda by the mayor or a majority of the city council during a noticed public meeting of the city council or by the city manager, city attorney and city clerk remain on the agenda and not be subject to removal by the mayor outside the context of a noticed public meeting of the city council. This means that items cannot be unilaterally pulled from an agenda by the mayor without a majority vote of the city council taken at a noticed public meeting of the city council. This can be addressed under a standard agenda item labeled as “APPROVAL OF AGENDA,” which should appear at the beginning of the agenda, at which time the mayor and council members may request pulling an item from the agenda by motion, a second and majority vote to approve the removal of the item from the agenda.
G.1
Packet Pg. 418
It has also been proposed that the mayor be required to place items on any agenda in the context of a noticed public meeting of the city council in the same manner as the other council members are required to follow in order to place items on an agenda. This means that if the mayor wants an item on a future agenda, the mayor must make a motion to add the item to a future agenda which must be seconded and passed by a majority vote of the city council in the context of a noticed public meeting of the city council. Placement of items on a future agenda could be addressed under a standard agenda item labeled “FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS.” This can appear at the tail end of the agenda, at which time the mayor and council members may request adding items to a future agenda by motion, a second and majority vote to approve adding the item to a future agenda.
35. Approving the order of all agendas for city council meetin gs and meetings of other legislative bodies solely consisting of members of the city council.
Since this is not mandated by state law or any other binding legal authority, this issue can be addressed as a standard agenda item labeled “APPROVAL OF AGENDA.” This will allow the city council to remove items from the agenda and to reorganize the order of the agenda via a motion, second and majority vote.
36. Designating the parliamentarian for city council meetings and meetings of other legislative bodies solely consisting of members of the city council.
It has been proposed that the Rules of Procedure simply designate someone such as the city attorney or other staff member who is knowledgeable about the rules of procedure to serve as the parliamentarian for the city council during city council meetings rather than the mayor making this decision on an ad hoc basis.
37. Appointing all members of city commissions, boards, and committees subject to approval of a majority vote of the entire membership of the city counci l. (California Government Code Section 40605)
Although this is mandated by state law, it has been recommended that the composition of all city commissions, boards and committees include at least one member from each district. Then, each council member ca n send a list of at least three recommendations to the mayor who would be obligated to nominate at least one person from each “district list” to serve on the respective commissions, boards, or committees, which will be consistent with the mayor’s right to appoint members of city commissions, boards and committees subject to approval of a majority of the entire membership of the city council. This will guarantee that each district is represented on every city commission, board, and committee.
38. Appointing alternate members to commissions and boards subject to approval by majority of the city council. (California Government Code Section 40605)
G.1
Packet Pg. 419
Although this is mandated by state law, it has been recommended that the composition of all city commissions, boards and committees include at least one member from each district. Then, each council member can send a list of at least three recommendations to the mayor who would be obligated to nominate at least one person from each “district list” to serve on the respect ive commissions, boards or committees as the primary member and one person from the same list to serve as the alternate, which will be consistent with the mayor’s right to appoint members of city commissions, boards and committees subject to approval of a majority of the entire membership of the city council. This will guarantee that each district is represented by a primary member and alternate member on every city commission, board, and committee.
39. Making emergency appointments. (California Government Code Section 40605)
Although this is consistent with the mayor’s appointment authority, it is suggested that any emergency appointment be voted upon (ratified) by the city council at a subsequent special meeting or a regular meeting of the city council.
40. Screening applicants for the planning commission and holding interviews unless the mayor designates the duty to another member of the city council.
It is proposed that all council members have an opportunity to review planning commissioner applications an d to interview applicants since it has been proposed that the mayor’s appointments to city commissions (including the planning commission), committees and boards be made from a list of recommendations provided by each council member.
41. Reviewing all board, commission or committee applications.
It is proposed that all council members have an opportunity to review all applications for commission, board, and committee members since it has also been proposed that the mayor’s appointments to city commissions, c ommittees and boards be made from a list of recommendations provided by each council member with the final appointments being approved by a majority of the city council.
42. Filling special vacancies. (California Government Code Section 40605)
It is recommended that all special vacancies be subject to the same appointment process that allows the mayor to appoint members to city commissions, boards, and committees, subject to approval by a majority of the city council at a noticed public meeting of the city council.
43. Directing the city clerk to make a local appointments list.
On an annual basis, each city is required to prepare an appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed G.1
Packet Pg. 420
by the city council. This l ist is known as the Local Appointments List. The list must contain the following information: (a) a list of all appointive terms which will expire during the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date th e term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position; and (b) a list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the city council, and the necessary qualifications for each position.
44. Establishing city council subcommittee and appointing all members to city council subcommittees. (California Government Code Section 40605)
It has been suggested that the establishment of city council subcommittees and subcommittee appointments be approved by a majority of t he city council at a noticed public meeting of the city council. However, this does not prohibit less than a majority of the city council (no more than two of the five) from meeting together to discuss issues with one another or with staff, subject to limi tations of the Brown Act regarding serial meetings.
45. Excusing the city manager, city attorney or city clerk from attending city council meetings.
It has been suggested that this be eliminated since there is no requirement that the city manager, city atto rney or city clerk be formally excused from city council meetings.
46. Preapproving all city-paid travel for any council member who intends to attend a meeting that has members of the city council as members of the legislative body presiding over the respecti ve meeting, in situations wherein the subject council member does not officially serve on the subject legislative body.
It has been proposed that this be eliminated so that each council member can decide for him/herself whether to attend any events condu cted by another jurisdiction that the council member believes may be beneficial to them as an elected official, provided that the subject costs are within the applicable budget.
47. Approving all censures of any council member who has committed any crimes of moral turpitude or violated any city policies or regulations, subject to a majority vote of the city council.
It has been recommended that proposed censures be added to an agenda in the same manner that any other future agenda item be added to an agenda. This means that if the mayor or any council member wants to censure a colleague, they must make a motion to add the censure to a future agenda at a city council meeting, which must be seconded and approved by a majority of the city council.

Subsequent Actions
If the City Council approves any changes to the current duties and responsibilities of the Mayor, it will be necessary to memorialize any such changes via an ordinance(s) and/or resolutions to ensure that the changes are wholly consistent with the Municipal Code and the “Rules of Procedure for Council Meetings and Related Functions and Activities” and consistent with the application of the terms and provisions of the “Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure.” These would have to be brought back o n a future agenda for the City Council’s formal consideration and action.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives:
1. Discuss the proposed changes to the scope of the Mayor’s duties and responsibilities and direct the City Attorney’s O ffice to prepare the requisite documents, such as any necessary ordinances and/or resolutions memorializing the approval of any or all of the proposed changes and place said ordinances and resolutions on a future City Council agenda for the City Council’s formal consideration and action; or
2. Discuss the proposed changes to the scope of the Mayor’s duties and responsibilities and take no further action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any fiscal impact will be dependent upon the direction the City Council provides staff on this matter.
NOTIFICATION
This staff report was made available for public review and inspection and posted on the City’s website at least 72 hours prior to the January 17, 2023, Regular City Council meeting.
