CITY OF
D 9a
STAFF REPORT
Item No. 12
DATE: February 23, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dr. Sean M. Moore, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ana V. Sauseda, Director of Gener Services/City Clerk 4Xl SUBJECT: Discussion of Commissions and Committees
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Review the Commission/Committees Roster for the City of Yucaipa and discuss the structure of each Commission/Committee and advise the City Clerk of any changes; or
2. Provide further direction to staff.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Annually, the City Council reviews memberships on the various City Council ad -hoc and standing committees and makes adjustments as necessary. A copy of the current committee roster is included as Attachment 1.
A review of the general rules and procedures for the conduct of Commissions and Committees in the City of Yucaipa will be presented for Council consideration at a future meeting. That presentation will address requests from Councilmembers to include staggered terms (similar to that of the City Council) and converting the Public Safety Ad -Hoc Committee to a standing committee.
In addition, staff has received questions that pertain to committees with operating budgets as well as questions that relate to scope, purpose, and whether some advisory committees would be better suited as ad -hoc committees or ultimately combined to improve efficiency and effectiveness and reduce redundancy. The City Council is the body authorized to provide direction on those items. 02/23/2026 City Council Agenda
Known Challenges and Context for the City Council's Evaluation Based on the questions and comments received over time, here are some things to consider:
• Number of Members on a Committee — City Commissions/Committees/Boards are generally recommended to have an odd number of members. This structure is common practice in order to prevent tie votes and to easily establish a quorum. A few of the committees on the roster have an even number of members.
• Budget for Commissions/Committees — Staff have been approached about why certain committees have budgets and others don't. Currently, the Trails and Open Space Committee, Youth Advisory Committee, and Planning Commission are the only ones that have budget allocated to them.
• Roles and Responsibilities — Clearly defined roles and responsibilities (goal) would help the following committees operate more effectively:
➢ Vector Control Committee — This committee met just once in 2025 for the purpose of designating officers. During this meeting, Committee Members were left questioning the purpose of this committee as Vector Control Service are primarily handled by the County of San Bernardino. The Committee was established in 2005 and was changed to an ad -hoc committee in 2012. In early 2016, complaints from the public resurfaced regarding the flies, odors and the stock piling of manure at the chicken ranches. The Council at the time held a study session to address the current poultry ranch manure management ordinance and subsequently approved an updated ordinance requiring the removal of manure every three days. The update to the ordinance also increased inspections at the poultry ranches. Since the new ordinance went into effect, Code Enforcement has done a fantastic job of ensuring compliance. This Committee may be better suited as an ad -hoc committee, which would meet on an as -needed basis. ➢ Mobilehome Park Committee — In early 2023, the Mobilehome Park Committee was created to regularly provide information related to the City's Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Program and to engage in an open exchange of information on matters concerning mobilehome parks in the City of Yucaipa. The intent was really centered on providing information pertaining to the Biennial Review. The Committee is scheduled to meet twice per year but has not met since November 2024. This Committee might also be better suited as an ad -hoc committee, whereby staff would meet with the stakeholders on an as -needed basis.
➢ Finance Committee — The purpose of this committee as defined in Resolution No. 2025-01 is to review the financial matters involving the City. With the creation of the Payments & Contracts Ad -Hoc Committee for additional oversight, it would be helpful to clearly define what Council would like the role of the Finance Committee to be and consider dissolving the Ad -Hoc Committee.
02/23/2026 City Council Agenda
➢ Public Safety Committee — This committee was previously an Ad -Hoc Committee.
The Council will need to establish the role of this committee so staff can ensure that it complies with the Brown Act.
Overlap of Commission/Committee Duties — In 1990, Chapter 2.12 of the Yucaipa Municipal Code established the Park and Recreation Commission for the City of Yucaipa. The Commission shall recommend policies and procedures to the City Council for the operation, use and management of all recreation activities, facilities, parks, parkways, open space and trails; and making recommendations to the city council on existing policies and procedures as outlined in Section 2.12.060(A). Staff have received questions about the Trails and Open Space Committee and whether there should be a separate committee as those duties fall under the purview of the Park and Recreation Commission.
In preparation for the upcoming review, staff recommends that the City Council evaluate each commission and committee and consider potential changes such as dissolving or redefining those with minimal activity, adjusting membership levels, consolidating those with similar scopes, eliminating/establishing operating budgets, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and reviewing Council representatives on committees. Resolution No. 2025-01 with the list of all Committees in the City of Yucaipa and their goal, is included for reference as Attachment 2.
