MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk DATE: 12/21/2022 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider City Council Standing Committees and Ad Hoc Committee Appointments and Other Assignments BACKGROUND A list of appointments to Standing Committees, Ad Hoc Committees, and Other Assignments reflecting City Councilmembers appointed to various bodies is maintained by the City Manager’s Office. This list details the City’s representatives, and alternates as applicable, the dates and times of meetings, and term of office for each appointment. The list reflects two categories of appointments; those made by the City Council as a body (Standing and Ad Hoc Committees), and those made by the City Selection Committee comprised of the mayors of the 10 cities in Ventura County. Nominations for positions appointed by the City Selection Committee are solicited based on identified vacancies as a result of City Council reorganizations, and appointments are made by the City Selection Committee at its annual meeting in January. With respect to Council Standing Committees, the City Council’s Policies Resolution No. 2022-4097 includes the following language in Policy 1.2.: “With the approval of the majority of the members of the City Council, the Mayor shall make all appointments to Standing Committees of the City Council, including the designated alternate. The appointments shall be made at the reorganization meeting.” DISCUSSION Attached to this report is the current list of City Council Committee Assignments for consideration. Some reorganization is required due to vacancies created by the outgoing Mayor and Councilmember, and by the appointment of Councilmember Groff as Mayor Pro Tem selection. Further, at present there is one active ad hoc committee which the Council may wish to consider changing representation for. Current vacancies are shown in legislative format. Item: 9.B. 102 Honorable City Council 12/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 2 The following Standing Committees, Ad Hoc Committee, and Other Assignments have vacancies at this time. Standing and Ad Hoc Committees Standing Committees: • Community and Economic Development (CEDC) Committee* • Transportation and Public Works Committee *Note: The CEDC Standing Committee member has historically been the City’s appointed representative to the Economic Development Collaborative Ventura County (EDC-VC). A list of the subject matter areas overseen by the Standing Committees can be found on page 3 of the appointment list. Item H under the Community and Economic Development Standing Committee has been struck as these issues have been addressed in the City’s approved Housing Element. Ad Hoc Committee • Area Housing Authority of County of Ventura and Many Mansions for Scattered Site Housing Project Outside Appointments The City Council Committee Assignments List also includes “Other Assignments” and “Other Agency Appointments.” The positions listed under “Other Assignments” are made at the discretion of the City Council; the positions listed under “Other Agency Appointments” are made by other entities such as the City Selection Committee. Four positions listed under “Other Assignments” on page 1 of the Council Committee Assignments List have vacancies and require appointment of a new member and alternates as appropriate: • California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) • Calleguas Municipal Water District Drought Task Force • Clean Power Alliance • Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) – General Assembly delegate • Ventura County Council of Governments (VCOG) Additionally, the Council may consider changes to existing representation to the following Other Assignments: • Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee (SMMCAC) • Ventura County Animal Services Commission (VCAS) • Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) 103 Honorable City Council 12/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 3 It should be noted that historically the Mayor has served as the City’s representative on the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority and Ventura County Council of Governments, although mayoral representation is not required under the bylaws of these entities. Therefore, the Council has discretion on appointment to these two positions and may choose to appoint the Mayor or another representative. The primary function of the representative for the CJPIA is attendance at the Authority’s annual meeting held each July. The primary function of the representative to VCOG is attendance and participation in at the every-other-month meeting of this body that addresses issues of regional concern among the 10 cities in the County. Calleguas Municipal Water District Drought Task Force The City of Moorpark receives water through Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1 which is purchased from the Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD). In response to the statewide drought and requirements to decrease water usage to comply with state and local mandates, CMWD formed a Drought Task Force to discuss regional issues, challenges, and opportunities for water conservation. The City has a position on the Task Force, formerly held by Councilmember Pollock, with Assistant Manager Gagajena and Parks and Recreation Director Laurentowski serving as staff representatives. With Councilmember Pollock’s departure, a vacancy exists to be filled. Clean Power Alliance The City of Moorpark joined the Clean Power Alliance (CPA - formerly Los Angeles Community Choice Energy) through the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement on January 17, 2018, and on February 7, 2018, the Council made Primary, Alternate and Second Alternate Director appointments from members of the Council. In April 2018, the Council voted to select a member of staff to serve as the Alternate Director. Former Mayor Parvin, and Community Services Manager Jessica Sandifer have been the City’s representatives to the CPA since that time. With Mayor Parvin’s departure, a vacancy exists to be filled. Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) – General Assembly delegate The Southern California Association of Governments, also known as SCAG, is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for six of the ten counties in Southern California, encompassing 191 cities and is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) under California state law. As an MPO, SCAG is mandated by the federal government to study and prepare plans for transportation, growth management, and air quality, and is responsible for the preparation of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) mandated by state housing law, among many other responsibilities. Each year in April or May, SCAG convenes a meeting of the General Assembly at its annual regional conference. Member cities confirm appointment of a delegate to vote on policy matters presented by the General Assembly in the form of a Resolution. SCAG by- laws entitle each city to one vote on matters effecting municipal or SCAG policy. Based on seniority and the availability to attend the General Assembly meeting, Mayor Parvin has historically been the City’s delegate, with Councilmember Pollock serving as an alternate, 104 Honorable City Council 12/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 4 or as the delegate in her absence. With the departure of Mayor Parvin and Councilmember Pollock from the Council, a delegate and alternate are required for the Regional Conference and General Assembly scheduled on May 4 and 5 in Palm Desert. Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee (SMMCAC) The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee is an advisory body to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC). The SMMC was established in 1980 is dedicated to the acquisition of land preservation as open space for wildlife and native plant habitat, and for public recreation activities. The SMMCAC is an advisory body providing a means for greater public participation and consists of 26 members with membership defined under the California Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 33213 as established by Senate Bill 1455 (Schiff) adopted in 2000. The statute does not specify if the appointment must be an elected official, staff member, or member of the public, only that the appointment is made at the discretion of the City Council. Until 2020, a Councilmember had served as the City’s SMMCAC representative. At that time, the City Council chose to initiate a recruitment to fill the position and on January 6, 2021, Moorpark resident Bruce Thomas was appointed for a two-year term as the City’s representative. Given this upcoming expiring term, a recruitment was opened on November 7, 2022, and closed on December 12, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. Interviews have been scheduled for tonight’s meeting should the Council wish to consider interviewing then appointing a member of the public to the SMMCAC. Ventura County Animal Services Commission (VCAS) The Ventura County Animal Services Commission is comprised of representatives from each of the cities which contract for services with Ventura County Animal Services. The Commission meets quarterly to serve as a policy level Commission regarding contract Animal Services to the cities of Ventura County and the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. They make recommendations to the Animal Services Director and the Ventura County Board of Supervisors regarding Animal Services policies, programs, service levels and fees. Additionally, they facilitate communication and collaboration among the County and contract cities on Animal Services issues, including such matters as city and county ordinances, services and the support of or opposition to State legislation. Currently Mayor Enegren serves as the City’s representative on the Animal Services Commission. Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) The Ventura County Transportation Commission is the transportation planning body for Ventura County and oversees highway, bus, aviation, rail and bicycle activity and controls the use of government funds for transportation projects.

Currently Mayor Enegren serves as the City’s representative on VCTC. 105 Honorable City Council 12/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 5 Fair Political Practice Commission requirements Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) Regulation 18705.5 requires that Form 806 be completed and published on the City’s website to report additional compensation that public officials receive when appointing themselves to positions on committees, boards, or commissions of a public agency, special district, or joint powers agency or authority. It has been determined that the Ventura County Animal Services Commission and the Ventura County Transportation Commission provide compensation for meetings attended. Councilmembers nominated for appointment to the Ventura County Animal Services Commission or the Ventura County Transportation Commission may recuse themselves and leave the dais while the remaining members of the Council make those appointments; or Councilmembers may wish to participate in the vote for self-appointment, in which case, the City would complete and post the FPPC Form 806 on the City’s website. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with Councilmember appointments to Boards, Commissions, and Committees.

Signature of Agency Head or Designee Print Name Title (Month, Day, Year) Comment: FPPC Form 806 (1/18) FPPC Toll-Free Helpline: 866/ASK-FPPC (866/275-3772) ATTACHMENT 2 A Public Document 110 Agency Report of: Public Official Appointments California Form 806 A Public Document Background This form is used to report additional compensation that officials receive when appointing themselves to positions on committees, boards, or commissions of another public agency or to a committee or position of the agency of which the public official is a member. This form is required pursuant to FPPC Regulation 18702.5. Each agency must post on its website a single Form 806 which lists all the paid appointed positions to which an official will vote to appoint themselves. When there is a change in compensation or a new appointment, the Form 806 is updated to reflect the change. The form must be updated promptly as changes occur. Instructions This form must be posted prior to a vote (or consent item) to appoint a governing board member if the appointee will participate in the decision and the appointment results in additional compensation to the appointee. FPPC Regulation 18702.5 provides that as long as the public is informed prior to a vote, an official may vote to hold another position even when the vote results in additional compensation. Part 1. Agency Identification Identify the agency name and information on who should be contacted for information. Part 2. Appointments Identify the name of the other agency, board or commission. List the name of the official, and an alternate, if any. List the appointment date and the length of term the agency official will serve. Disclose the stipend provided per meeting and the estimated annual payment. The annual salary is an estimate as it will likely vary depending upon the number of meetings. It is not necessary to revise the estimate at the end of the calendar year. Part 3. Verification The agency head or his/her designee must sign the verification. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. When does an agency need to complete the Form 806?  A Form 806 is required when an agency’s board members vote to appoint a board member to serve on another governmental agency or position of the agency of which the official is a member and will receive additional compensation.  2. The city council votes to serve as the city’s housing authority, a separate entity. Will the Form 806 be required?  If the council members receive additional compensation for serving on the housing authority, the Form 806 is required. 3. Are appointments made by a governing board to appoint one of its members to serve as an officer of that board for additional pay (e.g., mayor) required to be disclosed on Form 806? No. FPPC Regulation 18702.5(b)(6) exempts from this requirement decisions to fill a position on the body of which the official is a member (such as a councilmember being appointed as mayor) despite an increase in compensation. 4. In determining the income, must the agency include mileage reimbursements, travel payments, health benefits, and other compensation?  No. FPPC Regulation 18702.5 requires only the amount of the stipend or salary to be reported.  5. Which agency must post the Form 806?  The agency that is voting to appoint a public official must post the Form 806 on its website. The agency that the official will serve as a member is not required to post the Form 806. The form is not sent to the FPPC.  6. When must the Form 806 be updated?  The Form 806 should be amended promptly upon any of the following circumstances: (1) the number of scheduled meetings is changed, (2) there is a change in the compensation paid to the members, (3) there is a change in membership on the board or commission, or (4) there is a new appointment to a new agency.  7. If officials choose to recuse themselves from the decision and leave the room when a vote is taken to make an appointment, must the Form 806 be completed?  No. The Form 806 is only required to identify those officials that will vote on an appointment in which the official will also receive additional compensation.
