VACANCY ON THE BOARD OF PARKING PLACE
COMMISSIONERS (VEHICLE PARKING DISTRICT)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommend ed that the City Council review the attached application and approve the appointment of Paola Vega to serve as the Mayoral Representative on the Board of Parking Place Commissioners (VPD).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Board of Parking Place Commissioners is regulated by State law. Therefore, appointment of commissioners is governed by a different City Code Section than the other City commissions.
Pomona City Code Section 58 -382 provides that the Board of Parking Place Commissioners (“VPD”) shall be appointed by the City Council. Therefore, unlike other commissions, when a Councilmember appoints an individual to the VPD Commission, it requires City Council approval.
The term of office of each member of the Board shall be four years, and shall coincide with the appointing Councilmember’s term of office and shall end concurrently with the ending of the term of the Councilmember/Mayor who nominated that Commissioner.
DISCUSSION:
Section 58-381 of the Pomona City Code specifies that “There is created, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code § 31770.1, a Board of Parking Place Commissioners, which shall have all of the powers and duties of boards of parking place commissioners under the Vehicle Parking District Law of 1943 (Streets and Highways Code § 31500 et seq.).” Section 58 -382 of the Pomona City Code specifies that “There shall be seven members of the Board of Parking Place Commissioners.
Each member shall be appointed by the City Council.”

As a result of the recent resignation of VPD Commissioner Luis Corcuera, there is a current vacancy on the Board of Parking Place Commission for the Mayoral representative . Mayor Sandoval has requested the appointment of Paola Vega to serve as his Representative on the VPD Commission.
