RECOMMENDATION
1. Apprise the Council of the Mayor’s Appointments for each of the standing committees, as described in Exhibit “A” of this Memorandum.
2. Appoint the following Councilmembers to each of the committees and assignments, as described in Exhibit “B” of this Memorandum.
DISCUSSION
I respectfully submit my recommendations for Council consideration. After consulting with City staff, I recommend the dissolution of the Smart Cities and Service Improvements Committee, which has fulfilled its original purpose of providing oversight and po licy guidance related to technology and innovation priorities. We should also reserve vacancies for councilmembers who will be appointed to Districts 8 and 10 in the coming weeks.
As standing committee chairs and Rules Committee member s, returning and experienced councilmembers will help us champion a path forward for San José. Councilmembers Sergio Jimenez, Dev Davis, Pam Foley , and David Cohen have invaluable experience that’s essential for making the progress we all want, and each of the m is committed to identifying new approaches to our greatest challenges, from homelessness to public safety. I’m excited to appoint them to key committee leadership positions and to work with them to focus our resources on delivering measurable outcomes fo r our community.
