Title
Action on Acceptance of Senior Advisory Commissioner Resignation and Declare Vacancy
Report
BACKGROUND
Samuel Orme submitted the attached resignation from the Senior Advisory Commission on July 11, 2018. Mr. Orme was appointed to serve on September 24, 2013 and re-appointed on April 4, 2017; therefore, one vacancy now exists on the Commission for a partial term ending June 30, 2021.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends setting the applications deadline for September 14, 2018. Based on the number of applications received, an interview date will be set and applicants will be notified.
Advertising of the vacancy will be communicated via the City’s website, social media and the City Manager’s blog. The City Clerk’s Office will also notify current commissioners, previous commissioners/committee and board members, as well as those on the interest list.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.
