Article 2-Scope of Work
In performing the sales and use tax audit program MuniServices shall:

1. Identify and correct the sales/use tax reporting errors of businesses that, based on the nexus of their activities, are not properly registered with the City.

2. Identify and correct the reporting of businesses that are improperly reporting tax to state and county pools (i.e. classifying sales tax as use tax) and thereby depriving the City of sales tax revenue.

3. Detect, document and correct sales/use tax reporting errors/omissions and thereby generate new, previously unrealized revenue for the City.

4. Ensure through comprehensive audit measures that the revenue information used for ongoing economic analysis includes all sales/use tax generators.

5. Assist the City with strategies to preserve and even enhance sales and use tax revenue generated by existing businesses within the City.

of sales/use tax generating businesses located in the City. In the absence of this undertaking, significant City from which the City has not been receiving sales/use tax revenue.

Permitization Audits
Wholesalers, contractors, processors, manufacturers and other non-retail businesses will frequently not have a sales tax permit properly registered to the City in which they are located because their business operations do not include a point-of-sale qualifying activity. However, these companies will often generate local sales/use tax from the State Board of Equalization (SBE) audit deficiency assessments, occasional sales (i.e., mergers and acquisitions), and selffield audits facilitate the identification and correction of improperly registered permits for companies having point-of-sale operations in the City.
17 Item 1.

Oroville, CA SUTA, STARS, UUT & Waste Agmt 091014 4
Deϐiciency Assessment Audits
When the California SBE audits taxpayers for sales/use tax compliance, it is not uncommon for the taxpayer to receive a substantial deficiency assessment due to underpayments and/or under-collections.

In many cases, the local allocation portion of the deficiency assessment is distributed in error to the State pool, county pools, or other jurisdictions. Accordingly, MuniServices has developed proprietary criteria and techniques to detect and correct SBE deficiency assessment misallocations and thus expand the Accounts Payable Audits
When California taxpayers purchase tangible personal property for which title passes out-of-state, the transactions are subject to use tax (rather than sales tax) which is collected by the vendor who in turn remits it to the SBE, with the local allocation typically distributed statewide or countywide through the pools.

Under certain conditions, the seller may allocate the local tax by situs or the City may elect to self-accrue the use tax and remit it directly to the SBE, in which case the local portion will come back to the City in the same manner as sales tax.
opportunities for the City to capture the 1% local allocation on purchases subject to use tax and the local district tax where applicable. In this regard, MuniServices will prepare the documentation to facilitate the election, including assistance in preparing and filing the tax returns.

Quarterly Distribution Report Audits
Every three months, the City and MuniServices receive a Quarterly Distribution Report (QDR) from the SBE with the local allocation amount reflected by permit number. ect and correct taxpayer-reporting errors and thereby generate new, accounts where MuniServices observes a substantial decline in the sales/use tax revenue allocation for a particular business entity in a given quarter. In most cases, accounts showing zero balances have either QDR. Therefore, six months must lapse before the QDRs indicate whether a zero balance account can be attributed to a late payment or a misallocation.

Cities and counties may only recover misallocated Bradley-Burns sales tax revenue for three quarters prior to the SBE being notified of the reporting error and misallocated District tax revenues for between three quarters and three years. Therefore QDR audits must be conducted in a timely manner in order to preserve the opportunity for the City to recover misallocated revenue. MuniServices shall conduct the QDR audit each and every quarter to minimize the potential of lost revenue to the City.

Conϐidentiality Provisions
MuniServices is authorized by this Agreement to examine transaction tax, sales tax, and use tax records of the SBE provided to City pursuant to contract under the Bradley-Burns Uniform Sales and Use Tax Law and California Revenue & Taxation Code applicable to transactions and use taxes., including but not limited to the transaction and use tax that became effective or about [insert date tax became effective]. If the City adopts a new transaction tax or taxes after the effective date of this agreement the parties intend for the work under this agreement to include that tax or taxes.

MuniServices is required to disclose information contained in, or derived from, those sales, transaction, and use tax records only to an officer or employee of the City who is authorized by resolution to examine the information.
18 Item 1.

Oroville, CA SUTA, STARS, UUT & Waste Agmt 091014 5

c. Those accounts receiving deficiency assessments to ensure that the City receives its local allocation

18. Identify opportunities for the City to recover local allocation on purchase transactions subject to use tax. Prepare the necessary documentation to facilitate recovery, including assistance in preparing and filing the returns.

SUTA Detection Timing Considerations
For each misallocated account detected, MuniServices will coordinate with the business and SBE to make the necessary corrections plus retroactive adjustments for eligible amounts of sales/use tax improperly distributed in prior quarters. MuniServices coordinates and communicates between typically four parties; sales/operations personnel at the
headquarters, and SBE personnel and the in-state/out-of-state district offices. Correction of the account is considered to have been made once the payments on identified taxpayer accounts are being properly allocated by the taxpayer to the City in the period in which the payment was made.

As needed, MuniServices will represent the City before state officials, boards, commissions and committees for the purpose of correcting sales tax distribution errors that have deprived the City of revenue to which it is entitled.

Article 4-Compensation
What the City will pay MuniServices
Sales or Transactions and Use Tax Audit Service is a 25% contingency fee. This fee applies to revenue received for six quarters beginning with the quarter in which the Date of Correction falls and all eligible prior quarters back to and including the three quarters prior to the Date of Knowledge quarter for Bradley-Burns sales tax revenues and all eligible prior quarters back to and including all corrected quarters prior to the Date of Knowledge quarter for district tax revenues. As used herein, the Date of Knowledge is the quarter during which MuniServices notifies the SBE of the existence of a misallocation.

Article 2-Scope of Work
MuniServices will perform the Solid Waste Hauler Franchise Fee Compliance Program as follows:

Phase I - Reasonableness Test Compliance Review
MuniServices provides an innovative approach to auditing that utilizes hauler tonnage and billing payment issues than traditional audit methods. More than 80 percent of the haulers audited with this method pay findings without dispute. More than 95% of the audits result in fee recovery for the client.

MuniServices believes that this innovative approach will be more cost effective to the City and more successful in resolving the payment issues with the franchise haulers.

Under this approach, the scope of services proposed for this Solid Waste Compliance will include:

Review all reports
past 12 months. The findings will be applied to the review period (generally the previous three years) to ascertain gross receipts, tons hauled, tons disposed, and tons diverted.

The Honorable Christopher D. Jaime
Chief United States Bankruptcy Judge
United States Bankruptcy Court
Eastern District of California
Sacramento Division
501 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814
RE: Oroville Hospital, Case No. 25-26876, Chapter 11
City of Oroville — Expression of Community Interest and Request for Appropriate Public Advisory Participation
Dear Chief Judge Jaime:

On behalf of the City of Oroville and the community we serve, we respectfully submit this letter to express the City's substantial public interest in the future operation of Oroville Hospital and our desire to participate, through whatever lawful and appropriate process may be available, in discussions concerning the hospital's long-term future.

Oroville Hospital is more than a business enterprise located within our city. It is a vital community health care institution, providing emergency, inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, and other essential medical services to residents of Oroville and the surrounding region. Its continued operation, stability, accessibility, and quality of care are matters of significant public importance.

The City recognizes and respects that the Hospital's Chapter 11 proceeding is governed by federal bankruptcy law and that decisions regarding the debtor, its assets, creditors, restructuring, and any potential transfer or reorganization must occur through the processes established by the United States Bankruptcy Court.

The City does not seek through this letter to advocate for or against any bidder, purchaser, creditor, restructuring proposal, or other party appearing before the Court. Rather, the City wishes to ensure that the interests and concerns of the community served by Oroville Hospital have an appropriate opportunity to be heard as decisions affecting the hospital's future are considered.

Accordingly, the City of Oroville respectfully expresses its interest in participating in, or contributing to, any appropriate public advisory, community engagement, stakeholder, or informational process associated with the future operation of Oroville Hospital.

David W Pittman
Mayor
43 Item 2.

Page 2 ends

“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life” The City's principal interests include:
 Maintaining continuous access to emergency and essential hospital services in Oroville.  Preserving high-quality health care for residents of Oroville, Butte County, and surrounding rural communities.
 Supporting the continued availability of physicians, nurses, medical professionals, and hospital employees.
 Preserving local employment and the hospital's substantial contribution to the Oroville economy.
 Encouraging long-term financial and operational stability of the hospital.  Maintaining appropriate transparency and communication with the community regarding significant changes in hospital ownership or operations.  Protecting access to health care for seniors, families, children, low-income residents, and medically vulnerable populations; and
 Establishing constructive communication between future hospital leadership and the community it serves.

The City believes that local government can provide valuable community perspective without interfering with the Court's authority or the rights of the parties in the bankruptcy proceeding. We therefore respectfully request information regarding any appropriate procedure through which the City may communicate its community interests or participate in future public or stakeholder discussions concerning the hospital.

Should there ultimately be a change in ownership, governance, management, or organizational structure, the City would welcome an opportunity to establish a constructive working relationship with the hospital's future leadership. We believe cooperation among hospital leadership, physicians and employees, local government, community organizations, and residents will be important to the institution's long-term success.

The City of Oroville strongly supports the continuation of a stable, financially sustainable, fullservice community hospital in Oroville. The health and well-being of our residents, the availability of emergency medical care, local employment, and the economic vitality of our community are closely connected to the hospital's future.

We respectfully request that the City's interest be recognized and that the City be advised of any appropriate public process through which it may participate or provide community input.

Thank you for your consideration and for the Court's attention to this matter of significant importance to the Oroville community.

Respectfully submitted,
44 Item 2.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JASON WINES, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: FEE WAIVER REQUEST BY THE OROVILLE HMONG NEW YEAR

FESTIVAL COMMITTEE
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider a fee waiver request from the Oroville Hmong New Year Festival Committee, in the amount of $3,660, for Police Services relating to the 2026 Oroville Hmong New Year Festival, to be held October 10
th and 11th at the Nelson Avenue Sports Complex.

This represents a 50% reduction in actual Law Enforcement costs.

DISCUSSION
On October 10
th and 11th of this year, the Oroville Hmong New Year Festival will be held at the Nelson Avenue Sports Complex. This event will run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. An average daily attendance of 5,000 people is expected. This event has occurred for the past twenty-five years with few major incidents that required Law Enforcement intervention. The Hmong community has always been supportive and responsive to the needs of Law Enforcement to make this event safe and successful.

In 2024 and 2025, the Hmong community paid approximately $3,276.00 for Police Services for the New Year celebration (approximately 35% of total cost). This fee was based upon the Police Department supplying Officers over the two-day celebration for a total of 80 hours. The hourly rate was $117.00 per hour. The City Council authorized a 65% waiver. With increases in operational costs, the hourly overtime rate in 2026 has increased to $122.00.

Because the shift coverage can only be filled by officers on overtime, and due to the City’s and Police Department’s reduced budget’s, we are unable to provide the level of coverage we would normally provide. Therefore, for 2026 we are proposing to reduce shift coverage from 80 hours to 60 hours (5 officers to 3 officers), with on- duty patrol able to assist as available. We are also proposing to reduce the discount from 65% to 50%.

This is a worthy event that is well attended by both local community members and out of town visitors. It is the recommendation of the Police Department that the fees for this event be reduced to help support the Hmong Community and to show our support of this event. (See Chart below for details of fees.).

The overall cost to the festival is slightly more, however the cost responsibility for the police department has been cut significantly. We feel this is a needed adjustment to offer coverage to 96 Item 5.
the festival, while maintaining fiscal responsibility under our current conditions.

PROPOSED FEE FOR 2026
Hours Rate Total Discount Total Proposed Fee
60 $122.00 $7,320.00 50% = -$3,660.00 $3,660.00
Comparison from 2025
80 $117.00 $9,360 65%= 6,084 $3,276

FISCAL IMPACT
Partial wavier of Police Services fees will result in a negative impact of $3,660.00 on the overtime budget of the Oroville Police Department

ACTION REQUESTED -
WAIVE 50% OF THE FEES, IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,660, AND HAVE THE APPLICANT PAY THE REMAINDER OF THE FEES, IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,660.00, FOR THE 2026

To: Mayor David Pittman and Members of the City Council in the City of Oroville Re: Oroville Hmong New Year Festival 2026-2027
On behalf of the Oroville Hmong New Year Committee, we are writing to respectfully request your support for the annual Oroville Hmong New Year Festival and to ask the City of Oroville to waive the Oroville Police Department’s fees for providing security and related services for the festival, scheduled for October 10 and 11, 2026, at the Nelson Sports Complex in Oroville.

The Oroville Hmong New Year Festival is one of the largest annual cultural events held in Oroville, drawing thousands of attendees from surrounding communities as well as visitors from out of state. The festival is a nonprofit community event organized and operated entirely by volunteers. Committee members and individuals who dedicate their time and services to the event do so without compensation.

Despite the long-standing history of this event, securing sufficient funding to cover the costs of hosting the festival continues to be a challenge. Each year, the committee relies primarily on booth rental fees, potential sponsorships, and a small admission fee to cover the expenses necessary to organize and operate the event. As we approach the event dates, these revenues allow us to put together a minimal operating budget that we hope will be sufficient to cover all required expenses. After all event expenses have been paid, any remaining proceeds will be donated in their entirety toward the future development of a Hmong community center. The community center would serve the local Hmong community and be supported and operated by local Hmong nonprofit organizations and community leaders.

The Oroville Hmong community fully understands the financial responsibilities the City faces and recognizes the costs associated with supporting an event of this size. However, we simply cannot continue to host this important cultural event without the City’s assistance. We sincerely hope the City of Oroville will continue to partner with the Hmong community in making this event possible. This partnership represents a meaningful collaboration between the City and its Hmong residents and helps preserve and celebrate the cultural diversity of our community.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to contact Yeng Vang at (530) 403-8262. You may also reach us by email at [email protected]. Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued support of the Oroville Hmong community. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,
Kay Cha

Re: Letter of Interest - Oroville City Council, District A Dear Ms. Reaster and Members of the Oroville City Council:

I am writing to request consideration for appointment to the vacant District A seat on the Oroville City Council. I have lived in Oroville, within District A, since July 2022 and am a registered voter in the district. I am raising my family here, and I would welcome the opportunity to take a more active role in the future of the community we call home.

Before moving to Oroville, I served aboard the USS Wyoming as a nuclear-trained mechanical operator, supervisor, and Engineering Department Training Assistant. In those roles, I worked in an environment where preparation, accountability, regulatory compliance, and sound judgment were daily requirements. As Training Assistant, I was solely responsible for developing long- and shortrange training plans for a 100-person engineering department, analyzing performance and attendance data, and adjusting the program when the results showed a problem. As a supervisor and operator, I planned and directed work while meeting demanding nuclear, quality-assurance, and submarine-safety standards.

Since November 2023, I have been a stay-at-home parent. That role has given me both a personal stake in Oroville's long-term success and the availability to take the responsibilities of a Council appointment seriously. I regularly use the City's parks with my child and participate in local and community events.

I believe Oroville is steadily improving, and I appreciate seeing visible progress in different parts of the city. At the same time, I understand that continued improvement has to be balanced against financial realities. If appointed, I would approach decisions about City resources by studying the facts, asking questions, listening to residents and subject-matter experts, and considering both immediate benefits and long-term costs. My goal would be to help ensure that improvements are pursued efficiently, responsibly, and with respect for the taxpayers who fund them.

I am seeking this appointment because I am ready to accept meaningful responsibility in service of something larger than my own household. I have the time to prepare for meetings, study the issues before the Council, and give the position the attention it deserves. I do not expect to arrive with an answer to every municipal issue, but my prior experience taught me how to learn complex systems, work within demanding requirements, and make responsible decisions when the details matter.

I would be honored to serve the remainder of the District A term. I am also interested in continuing to serve District A beyond the appointment and would consider seeking the seat through election.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my background and approach with the Council.

Respectfully,
Nicholas M. Cleaver

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving the response to the Final 2025/26 Butte County Grand Jury Report on behalf of the City of Oroville.

DISCUSSION
On June 26, 2026, the Butte County Grand Jury released to the public a final report related to the investigation it conducted related to matters of the City of Oroville. The Grand Jury conducted an inquiry into these matters and has made several findings and recommendations.

As has occurred in previous years, the Grand Jury requests a response from the City Council.

The Council assembled an ad hoc committee consisting of three Council members and the City Administrator to review the findings, recommendations and assemble a draft response. That response is being presented to the Council for final input.

Penal Code sections 933 and 933.05 provides that when the Grand Jury submits a final report on the operations of any agency, “the governing body of the public agency shall comment…on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body…” within 90 days.

FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal. Some staff time will be involved.

Re: City of Oroville’s Response to 2025/26 Grand Jury Report Dear Judge Rodriquez:

Pursuant to Penal Code section 933, the city Council has reviewed the 2025/26 Grand Jury Final Report regarding matters related to the City of Oroville. In preparing this response, information was obtained from a City Council subcommittee prior to bringing the response to the full City Council for comprehensive input.

In response to the Grand Jury Final Report released on June 26, 2026, the City Council approved the following response in public session of its duly noticed meeting held on September 15, 2026.

Findings
F1: As a result of the Gateway Project agreement being approved by City Council and signed without Exhibit 5 - Milestone Schedule, the City sold property for $1.00 with no documented performance guarantees or reverter clause. The loss of City land and the resulting legal fees to pursue a solution negatively impacts all people paying taxes and receiving services from City.

Response: Agree in part. Selling a property at a below market price ($1.00) for a public benefit, is not an uncommon practice. While there are no guarantees or reversion language in the development agreement, the City can take legal action should there be any breach in the agreement.

F2. The City’s legal resources and approval processes were insufficient, allowing a contract to move forward for City Council vote and execution even though it did not contain all of the crucial content. This resulted in a significant loss of City assets without the intended gain of the Gateway development.

David Pittman

Item 7.

September 3, 2026 Page 2
“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life” Response: Agree in part. No agreement should go before the Council without appropriate exhibits. There is a development agreement in place for the development of the Gateway.

F3. When members of the public are not able to consistently and reliably make contact with elected officials, it has a negative impact on the City’s ability to engage with the public and best serve the needs of the people represented.

Response: Agree. Council members may be contacted via email or telephonically (posted on the City website). Lack of response could have a negative impact on public engagement.

F4. In the past, some City Council Members repeatedly exerted pressure on and gave direction to City employees, violating the Oroville Municipal Code. This negatively impacted the City’s operations while resources were used to respond to, address and/or avoid the behavior.

Response: Agree. Any time Council Members exert pressure on staff, it negatively impacts operations.

F5. The City Council voted to adopt the “Elected Officials Guiding Principles Handbook” on December 17, 2024 to “promote ethical and responsible governance…”. As of April 7, 2026 only three of seven council member have signed the document and the public has not been informed of missing signatures.

Response: Agree. All Council members have now signed this handbook.

F6. The Oroville City Council does not have a mechanism to share with the public the status of prior agenda items requiring action by the City Council members.

Response: Disagree. The Clerk creates meeting minutes, which are brought to the council for approval, and published on the City website.

F7. Violation of confidentiality required by City Council closed sessions resulted in concerns the City Council is unable to effectively discuss sensitive and confidential topics. This is a violation of section 2.08.100 in the Oroville Municipal Code and negatively impacts the City’s efficiency and effectiveness when working to resolve complex legal issues.

Response: Agree.

Recommendations
R1. Effective immediately, Oroville City Council members should read all content provided to them in each meeting agenda packet. Votes should be delayed until each City Council member reviews and is ready to vote on complete contract content.

Response: Agree.

R2. The Oroville City Council should research and consider remedies available to the City under the contracted law firms professional malpractice insurance due to the omission of a document in the Gateway Agreement when the City Attorney signed the form under “APPROVED AS TO FORM AND CONTENT”.

September 3, 2026 Page 3
“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life” Response: Agree in part. Council will consider all legal options available as it works to implement the developers’ agreement.

R3a. The Oroville City Council should instruct the City of Oroville IT Department to test voicemails and emails from outside the City systems, specifically using the contact information and links published on the City website for City Council members. Ensure voicemails and emails are readily accessible and received by the City Council members. Testing should be completed and changes, if needed, implemented by January 31, 2027.

Response: Agree.

R3b. The Oroville City Council should establish response timelines for public inquiries and include those timelines in the voicemail greetings and automatic email responses by January 31, 2027. When a member of the public contacts an elected official, that person should be informed when they will next hear from the City Council regarding their question/concern.

Response: Agree in part. Each individual elected official responds to inquiries differently, that suits their individual style.

R4. The Oroville City Council should direct the City to establish and monitor an anonymous ethics violation reporting mechanism. Implementation of the mechanism to be completed and communicated to all City employees, contractors and City Council members by February 28, 2027
Response: Agree. In process now.

R5. The Oroville City Council should enforce item 10 (Consequences for Non-Compliance) in the adopted Elected Officials Guiding Principles Handbook by November 1, 2026. City Council members who have not signed the documents shall be “ineligible for committee assignments.” Response: Agree.

R6. The Oroville City Council should create a recurring agenda item for public meetings that would report pending Council member action items (signatures, required trainings, etc.).

Implement by November 1, 2026.

Response: Disagree.

R7. Effective immediately, Oroville City Council members should maintain the confidentiality of all closed session proceedings and related materials, as required by law.

Response: Agree

STAFF REPORT

FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR-ADMINISTRATIVE

SERVICES
RE: FIRE CONTRACT COSTS
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall receive information on the cost of Fire Services for the City of Oroville.

DISCUSSION
Staff was requested to provide Council with an analysis of Fire Costs. To date we have four years of actuals so this analysis will focus on these four years – fiscal years 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26.

On April 29, 2022, the City entered into an agreement for contracted fire services starting July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025. A few amendments were necessary to add a fire mechanic and another for the State mandated 66-hour work week. Another agreement was contracted for an additional three-year period, July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.

Four years of contracted services has cost the City $19,930,983 or an average of $4,982,746 per year. The contract agreements are signed at positions being budgeted at top step. Overall, the contract to actuals have been a collective four years of savings of $1,815,080 from the contracted amounts or an average of $453,770 per year.

On top of the contracted costs for personnel, the City maintains additional costs that are nonpersonnel related. The total for these ongoing costs for four years is $2,153,069 (less a onetime expense for medical buyouts) or an average of $538,267 per year.

Some of the ongoing City costs include Fuel, Vehicle Maintenance, Equipment, Supplies, Other Services, Building Maintenance, Utilities, and a part time Administrative Assistant.

Four-year average cost:

RESOLUTION NO. 8813

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING A POLICY REGARDING

COUNCIL COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
WHEREAS, it has long been held that unless a Charter of a city expressly provides for municipal control over a particular concern, general state law would prevail; and WHEREAS, the Oroville City Charter does not provide for municipal control over boards, commissions, and committees appointments and the Council has not previously adopted a policy related thereto; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 40605 provides that an elected mayor shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees with the approval of the city council; and
WHEREAS, the California Attorney General has opined that Government Code Section 40605 establishes an advice and consent relationship; and WHEREAS, even though the Council has previously followed the process as outlined in Government Code 40605, the Council believes that it is necessary to formalize the process for making boards, commissions, and committee appointments for the City of Oroville.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Oroville City Council as follows:

1. The Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees unless otherwise specifically provided by statute or City Charter.

The role of the Council is to advise and consent (i.e. approve or reject), however, the Council 00068737.1 1

may not substitute its desired appointments for that of the Mayor. This appointment authority shall not extend to citizen appointments to the Planning Commission, the Parks Commission, the Arts Commission, or the Citizen's Oversight Committee related to Measure U, which shall be appointed by a majority vote of the Council.

A. Example of appointment process:

1. Example 1 - The Mayor names Person 1 to a committee. The Mayor makes a motion and a Councilmember makes a second to the motion. The vote is 4-3, with 4 Councilmembers voting in support of the motion. The motion passes and Person 1 is appointed to the committee.

2. Example 2 - The Mayor names Person 1 to a committee. The Mayor makes a motion and a Council Member makes a second to the motion. The vote is 3-4, with 4 Councilmembers voting in opposition of the motion. The motion fails and Person 1 is not appointed to the committee. The Mayor names Person 2 to the committee. The Mayor makes a motion and a Councilmember makes a second to the motion. The vote is 4-3, with 4 Councilmembers voting in support of the motion. The motion passes and Person 2 is appointed to the committee.

2. The Mayor shall announce his or her appointments at or before a properly noticed regular or special meeting of the City Council Agenda which lists this matter as an item for action to be taken.
