TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Maria O. Martinez, City Clerk
DATE: August 30, 2024
SUBJECT: Conduct the interviews for the unexpired term in District 5 City Council vacancy.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Conduct the interviews for the unexpired term in District 5 City Council vacancy; and
2) Find that this action is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, no environmental review is required pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15378.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance w ith the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
On August 6, 2024, the City Council consensus was to fill the vacancy of an unexpired term in District 5 created by Alexandro Garcia's resignation by appointing an eligible elector.
The Council directed staff to notice the vacancy and accept applications. The appointee will serve until the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election is complete.
The deadline to submit the application was set for August 27, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. The City Clerk received one (1) applicant, Miguel A. Raya, and the Kern County Election office has confirmed that this applicant is an eligible elector.
