Ingram, City Manager FROM: Linda Devine, City Clerk SUBJECT: 2011 SEAL BEACH BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, & COMMITTEES SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Ratify the appointment of Lauren Sosenko to fill the unexpired term (expires 2012) on the Recreation and Parks Commission as representative for District 2. Accept the resignations from Robert Goldberg (District 3) and John Larson and Bonnie Gasior (members at- large) as members on the AdHoc General Plan /Local Coastal Plan Citizens Advisory Committee. Acknowledge the change of meeting time for the Environmental Quality Control Board (from 6:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. - EQCB Resolution No. 11 -1). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: Currently there are 4 vacancies on the AdHoc GP /LCP Committee with 2 alternates from District 1. There has been a letter of interest for consideration as a member of the committee submitted to the City Clerk's office. Resolution No. 5852 (attachment C) does not clearly state how vacancies to member at -large appointments are to be filled. The resolution does state that councilpersons shall have the discretion to appoint two alternates - this was done to ensure there would be a quorum of the 15 member committee. The role of alternates is not clear or the succession from alternate status to regular member status. The resolution also states that appointments need not reside within the appointing councilperson's district but must reside in City of Seal Beach. At the discretion of the Council, the alternates on the current list may be re- designated to fill the 2 member at -large vacancies. The District 5 vacancy may consider appointing the individual that submitted the attached letter of interest - the District 3 vacancy will be posted for a 10 day period. Staff has attached a sample application form (will be posted on the City website) for community members who are interested in becoming more involved in the City to submit the form - the applications will be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk for a period of 2 years. This would provide Council members a pool of potential Agenda Item A candidates when a vacancy occurs in any current board, commission, or committee or if there is a need to form a special or ad hoc committee. Attached to the staff report is a list of current members on the boards, commissions, and committees and the vacancies. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Environmental Impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: No legal analysis is required for this item. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no Financial Impact. RECOMMENDATION: Ratify the appointment of Lauren Sosenko to fill the unexpired term (expires 2012) on the Recreation and Parks Commission as representative for District 2. Accept the resignations from Robert Goldberg (District 3) and John Larson and Bonnie Gasior (members at- large) as members on the AdHoc General Plan /Local Coastal Plan Citizens Advisory Committee.

From: Bonnie Gasior [mailto:bgasior @csulb.edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 20119:54 PM To: Carmen Alvarez Subject: Re: Meeting of Ad Hoc LCP /GP Citizens Advisory Committee Carmen, I'm not sure with whom I need to speak, but I don't think I can continue serving on this committee. During the summer it is feasible but during the semester, I simply won't have time. In addition, I just don't feel that I have been able to contribute much, as the other members are councilmen and women are much better informed. In a nutshell, I feel frustrated on some level and that I'm wasting mine (and their) time on another. I'm definitely a team player, but it's difficult to be one when the rules of the game are not clear to begin with. I look forward to your response. thanks Bonnie Gasior The next meeting of the Ad Hoc Local Coastal Program & General Plan Citizens Advisory Committee is scheduled for Tuesday, August 9, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers. The agenda is attached for your review. Please R.S.V.P. to let me know whether or not you will be in attendance at this meeting.

Due my recent appointment to the Planning Commission, I will soon be involved in the review of Committee's work as a Planning Commissioner. For this reason, and due to the time demands associated with the Planning Commission, I think it is best that I resign from the GP /LCP Committee. Therefore, please accept this letter of resignation effective today. Sincerely, Page 1 of 1 Linda Devine From: Seth Eaker [ seth @blackmarbleconsulting.com] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2011 8:01 PM To: Linda Devine Cc: Ellery Deaton; Mark Persico Subject: Interest in the Ad Hoc Local Coastal & General Plan Committee Linda, I wanted to formally express my interest as a member of the committee. I understand there are some openings. I am interested based on my engagement with the business community, as a community advocate for cycling, reasonable development, pro local control, lower per capita energy consumption and the desire to improve Seal Beach overall. I am not sure what additional statements or objectives are necessary for consideration. When I asked for a form, Anita indicated there was not a formal process. I have also notified Ellery Deaton as my district representative and Mark Persico as key staff member of my interest. Thanks in advance.
