SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL
APPOINTMENTS OF
COMMITTEES AND
BOARDS
DATE: February 3, 2023
APPROVED:
RECOMMENDATION
1. Apprise the Council of the Mayor’s proposed appointments for each of the standing committees, as described in Exhibit “A” of this memorandum.
2. Suggest the following Councilmembers for appointment to each of the committees and assignments that were previously listed as “Vacant” in my January 10, 2023 memo, as described in Exhibit “B” of this memorandum.
3. Add an alternate position to the San José Youth Empowerment Alliance (formerly Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force) and appoint Vice Mayor Kamei.
DISCUSSION
I respectfully submit my recommendations for Council consideration. Now that our Council colleagues from District 8 and District 10 have been appointed, we are able to fill the remaining vacancies that we held for them.
Further, it’s important that Council perspectives are fully represented in the important work being done by the San José Youth Empowerment Alliance. Vice Mayor Kamei has expressed strong interest in advancing critical crime prevention, intervention, and diversion programs for youth, so I recommend creating an alternate position on this task force and appointing Vice Mayor Kamei to that role.
