Executive Summary

Background
Government Code Section 5497, The Maddy Act, is intended to encourage community members to participate by ensuring awareness of appointments to serve on boards, bureaus, committees, and commissions that serve in an advisory capacity to the Mayor and City Council. Therefore, in accordance with this provision, before December 31st of each year, the City Council shall cause to be prepared a list of all ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed by the City Council. This list must include which terms will expire during the next calendar year with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the positions. This list is required to be posted at the public library in its jurisdiction that serves the largest number of people. On December 4, 2019, the Mayor and City Council designated the Norman F. Feldheym Central Branch Public Library to receive the annual copy of the Mayor and City Council-approved Local Appointments List.
