(JWF 12/11/06) RESOLUTION NO. 2007- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DESIGNATING SIX WARD SEATS AND ONE CITY-WIDE SEAT ON VARIOUS BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES OF THE CITY. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. At the 2006 General Municipal Election, the voters of the City of Santa Ana approved Measure CC, which amended portions of Section 901 of the Santa Ana City Charter related to membership on boards and commissions. B. Subsection (e) of Section 901, as amended, calls upon the City Council to formally designate seven seats on all boards, commissions and committees, six by ward (to be nominated by the council member representing that ward) and one as a city-wide seat (to be nominated by the Mayor). C. The purpose of this amendment to Charter Section 901 is to formalize the long-standing informal City Council practice of nominating and appointing board and commission seats by ward. D. Because of this informal practice, the Clerk of the Council has, for many years, maintained the rosters of the boards and commissions with such designation. The current roster of members and the corresponding ward or city-wide status (in the case of persons nominated by the Mayor) is attached hereto as Exhibit A. E. The best means of carrying out the mandate of Measure CC is to formally continue the seat designations as set forth in Exhibit A, with the exception that the seat designated as City-Wide shall have a two year term to coincide with that of the Mayor. As such, the terms of those incumbents nominated by the Mayor whose terms were to expire in 2008 instead expired upon Measure CC going into effect and will be subject to reappointment. 550-3 Resolution No. 2007- Page 1 of 6
