BACKGROUND
When the City Council reorganizes, it is necessary to revise the Council Delegates and Alternates List. Traditionally, the Mayor, with the consent of the Council, proposes the assignments to the various committees.
DISCUSSION
The Mayor’s recommended assignments are detailed in Attachment 1.
Approval of the motion noted below would constitute acceptance of the assignments noted in Attachment 1.
Additionally, the City’s Metropolitan Water District representative has notified the City Council of his intention to resign from his position effective March 31, 2025. Mayor Shepherd Romey has volunteered to fill this position until a recruitment can be conducted.

None.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
The Mayor has recommended assignments to City and/or regional bodies. If the City Council concurs with the Mayor’s recommendations, the appropriate motion would be:
“I move to (1) approve the Council List of Delegates and Alternates to agency boards, commissions, and City activities for 2025; (2) appoint Mayor Shepherd Romey as the City’s Metropolitan Water District representative; and (3) direct the City Clerk to update the Agency Report of Public Official Appointments Form 806 based on the appointments made, delegate the City Manager as signatory on said form, and direct the City Clerk to place the updated Form 806 on the City’s website.”
