Approve the list of members for the established Council Committees 2019-2020. <br />3. Approve the amended proposed schedule instead of the current schedule for the Council <br />Committees 2019-2020. <br />DISCUSSION <br />At the February 5, 2019, City Council Meeting the Council was presented with the Council <br />Committee schedule, members, and potential restructuring of committees. Council approved the <br />existing structure of the Council Committees, some Councilmembers expressed interest in <br />specific committees, and ultimately approved the schedule from the previous year. Since then, <br />City Council membership has changed, which created vacancies in some Committees. Based on <br />the feedback received from Councilmembers, the following members have been included in the <br />respective Council Committees (as outlined in the table below). In particular, there is a need to <br />appoint members to the Legislative Affairs, Ethics, Transparency and Communications <br />Committee. Per Resolution No. 2017-076, Council Committees shall consist of two or three <br />Councilmembers and Councilmembers may not serve on more than two committees at a time. A <br />resolution is not required for this action because the Council Committees were not restructured. <br />However, in an effort of transparency and to memorialize the Council Committee information to <br />staff and the community, staff is requesting the City Council review, discuss, appoint, and <br />approve the amended proposed Council Committees for 2019-2020. <br />Staff is recommending that Council consider approving the new proposed schedule in order for <br />staff to provide effective and efficient preparation for Council Committees. Staff recommends <br />that the standing meetings convene quarterly or biannually, with the understanding that <br />additional special meetings may be scheduled and authorized pursuant to the Brown Act. <br />65A-1 <br />
