The purpose of this report is for Council to review and possibly ratify Councilmember appointments as presented. Appointees represent the City's interests and influence policies and regulations of other agencies. With a few minor exceptions, all Council appointments are made annually in January; at this time, Council also considers ratifying appointments made by outside agencies.
