Recommendation:

Executive Summary
On or before December 31 st of each year, each legislative body shall prepare an appointment list of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency. This list is known as the Local Appointments List.
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.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino currently has seven commissions, two boards, and five committees that advise and assist the City Council in dealing with specific issues.
Members are nominated by members of the City Council and appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council. Current members on the commissions, boards, and committees will remain seated until the City Council makes new appointments.
The Local Appointments List will be updated as the Mayor and City Council continue to review and consider applications to serve as members of advisory committees and make appointments.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving the Local Appointments List aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership, and Unified Community and will ensure compliance with Government Code Section 54972.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with approving the Local Appointments List.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution No. 2025-395 approving the Local Appointment List (Maddy Act).
