MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk DATE: 01/06/2021 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Presentations from Applicants for Santa Monica Mountains Conversancy Advisory Committee and Appointment of a Representative to Serve a Two-Year Term BACKGROUND At its meeting of December 2, 2020, the City Council considered appointments to City Council Standing and Ad Hoc Committees and Other Assignments. During that discussion, it was noted that the City of Moorpark needed to make an appointment to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee (SMMCAC) as vested in the California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 33213, which sets forth the composition of the SMMCAC and provides the City Council with the discretion to appoint a member of the Council, a member of staff, or a member of the public to serve as the City’s representative on the Committee. The Council voted to establish a two-year term of appointment for the position to coincide with appointments made by the City Council on other boards and commissions, and directed staff to initiate recruitment for applicants with appointment consideration to be scheduled for the January 6, 2021, Council meeting. DISCUSSION Based on the Council’s direction and its waiver of City Council Policy 2.2, which calls for a 30-day recruitment for Board/Commission/Committee applications, the City Clerk’s Office initiated recruitment on December 4, 2020, seeking individuals interested in filling the existing vacancy on the SMMCAC for a two-year term. Recruitment closed on Monday, December 28, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. Three applications were received and have been transmitted to the Council under separate cover. It is recommended that the City Council receive presentations from the applicants, not- to-exceed three (3) minutes, on qualifications and interest to serve on the Committee. Following the interviews, the Council is asked to make an appointment for a public representative to serve on the SMMCAC. Item: 9.B. 348 Honorable City Council January 6, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 2 The City Clerk will conduct a random drawing of the names of the applicants prior to the start of the meeting to determine the order in which they will speak. The Council’s Policy resolution also provides the procedure for appointments as follows: A. The Mayor shall solicit suggested nominees from members of the Council. B. Prior to making a motion for appointment, the Mayor shall announce the names of all persons he/she intends to nominate, and in the order to be nominated, for a board, commission, or committee. C. The Mayor shall make a motion putting forth each individual name to be approved for appointment. D. A second shall be required. E. The Council shall vote on each appointment individually. FISCAL IMPACT None. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Hear presentations from applicants and consider appointment of a representative to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee for a two-year term.
