EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Board and Commission terms expire on September 30, 2024. Interviews are conducted with recommendations made by the Mayor and approved by the City Council to appoint residents who are registered voters of the City of Redondo Beach to fill vacancies created by expired terms.
Each year City Council approves the above dates for the close of applications, interviews, Councilmembers’ recommendations to the Mayor, and announcement of the appointees.
Also included are the dates for administering of the Oath of Office to the Commissioners by the City Clerk and the City’s Annual Commissioners’ orientation.
BACKGROUND
The annual term expirations for various city boards and commissions occur on September 30th of each year with the new term beginning October 1st. Part of the recruitment process is to fill upcoming vacancies, for the City Clerk’s Office to post and publish notifications of the vacancies, notify all Commissioners of expiring terms, collect new applications, and notify applicants with applications on file within the last year. Commissioner applications are available online at:
1 H.7., File # 24-0471 Meeting Date: 4/2/2024
http://www.redondo.org/commissionapp.
Interested applicants are encouraged to review qualifications to be considered for certain commission appointments before completing and submitting an online application.
After appointments are made, the City Clerk will hold an orientation for new Commissioners with an introduction to local government and City Commission procedures. Additionally, Commissioners will be provided with information on the Brown Act and Ethics training. Upon appointment, Commissioners are required to complete AB1234 Ethics training within 60 days of Oath of Office, recertify every two years thereafter, and file a signed certificate of completion with the City Clerk.
The Fair Political Practices Commission offers AB1234 ethics online training at no charge for local officials, however, if this were to change, the City will use other resources to complete this requirement.
Also, Commissioners now have a City Email, as well as, trainings provided by the City for Cybersecurity and Human Resource required trainings.
FISCAL IMPACT
No appropriation will be needed at this time; funds will be budgeted in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 for Commissioners’ training.
