REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
City Council 2015 Appointments to Intergovernmental and Internal Assignments, Council Subcommittees, and Community Member Appointments
Report
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this Report is for Council to review and possibly approve Councilmember appointments to a variety of intergovernmental agencies as presented in Attachments 1 through 4. Appointees represent the City's interests and influence policies and regulations of other agencies. All Council appointments are made annually in January; at this time, Council also considers ratifying appointments made by outside agencies.
At its November 25, 2014 Study Session, Councilmembers discussed a variety of intergovernmental assignments, including 2014 assignments they expressed interest in keeping, new assignments they are pursuing for 2015, and 2014 assignments that are ending. The Council also discussed options for City representation on the various Standing Subcommittees to Discuss Issues of Mutual Interest with Local School Districts. The Mayor reappointed all 2014 Mayoral appointments for 2015. The changes to Council-appointed assignments, as itemized throughout this report, are based in part on the information shared at the study session.
As noted in Council Policy 7.3.12, City Council Appointments to Intergovernmental Agencies, City Council Subcommittees and Council- or Mayor-Created Advisory Task Forces, staff support will be provided to Councilmembers serving on IGR bodies as directed by the City Manager. Typically, staff support consists of reviewing and advising on upcoming committee agendas for issues pertaining to Sunnyvale and, as needed, assisting Council in presenting those issues.
