RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Appoint Mike Hennawy, Director of Public Works, to serve as a representative for the City of Santa Clarita on the governing board of the North Los Angeles County Transportation Coalition for an unspecified term, serving at the pleasure of the City Council, alongside appointed representatives Mayor Pro Tem Gibbs and Councilwoman McLean.
2. Appoint Damon Letz, City Engineer, to serve as the City of Santa Clarita’s alternate governing board representative to the North Los Angeles County Transportation Coalition for an unspecified term, serving at the pleasure of the City Council.
3. Instruct the City Clerk to update the Local Appointments List and post a copy at all branches of the Santa Clarita Public Library and on the City’s website.
BACKGROUND
As a result of the recent retirement of Robert Newman, former Public Works Director, who served as a board representative on the North Los Angeles County Transportation Coalition (NCTC), appointments to fill his vacancy and the City’s alternate to the NCTC are before the City Council for consideration.
Given the slightly modified governance structure of the NCTC, and the vacancy in Santa Clarita' s delegation, it is appropriate for the City Council to consider appointing the Director of Public Works, Mike Hennawy, who currently serves as the City’s alternate, as the third board representative, and appointing the City Engineer, Damon Letz, as the alternate. The
representatives do not have a set term of office, but rather, serve at the pleasure of the City Council.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as directed by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted FY 2021-22 budget.
