Interviews and Action on Appointments to fill two vacancies on the Senior Advisory Commission

Report
BACKGROUND
There are currently two vacancies to serve on the Senior Advisory Commission.
At the May 7, 2019 Council meeting, Council declared a full-term vacancy ending on June 30, 2023. The May 7, 2019 agenda report erroneously listed Nancy Toledo as being termed out; however, the actual termed out commissioner is Barbara Estrada.

On May 30, 2019 the City Clerk's Office received an email resignation (Attachment 1) from Deena Brockett, creating a partial term vacancy ending June 30, 2021.
