Approve modified meeting schedule to increase the frequency of the Joint Santa Ana Unified <br />School District and City Council Committee meetings from quarterly to bimonthly meetings. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City Council first established Council Committees in 1999. Since then, they are periodically <br />reviewed to ensure that the diverse issues and challenges facing the City are adequately <br />addressed. At the March 19, 2019, City Council Meeting, council approved the calendar <br />schedule of established meetings and list of members for the established Council Committees <br />2019-2020 (as outlined in the table below). However, due to the restriction set forth in <br />Resolution 2017-076 along with the resignation from Roman Reyna as the City Council Ward 4 <br />representative, council was unable to make appointments to the Legislative Affairs, Ethics, <br />Transparency and Communication Council Committee. <br />The recommended action also includes a modification to the Joint Santa Ana Unified School <br />District and City Council Committee meeting schedule. At the April 22, 2019 meeting, the <br />committee members from the district and the city discussed the frequency of their meetings and <br />mutually agreed that they would prefer to meet on a bimonthly basis. The proposed meeting <br />schedule has been updated below to reflect the committee's recommendation. <br />65A-1 <br />
