SUBJECT: RATIFY APPOINTMENTS TO THE CITY TREE
ADVISORY BOARD
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Ratify the appointment of Chuck Stilwell and Tony Chang to the City Tree
Advisory Board (CTAB).
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In accordance with Government Code 54974 (Maddy Act) whenever an
unscheduled vacancy occurs in any board, commission, or committee for which
the legislative body has the appointing power, a special vacancy notice shall be
posted and appointment to the board, commission, or committee shall not be
made by the legislative body for at least 10 working days after the posting of the
notice.
The CTAB was formed in September 1996 (Resolution No. 4500). The City
Council is committed to ensuring that our community continues to realize the
benefits provided by urban forestation. The City Tree Advisory Board is advisory
to the City Council and the City and consists of up to 5 voting members approved
by the City Council. The board members are comprised of citizens with an
interest in the City's Urban Forest, whom have an interest, knowledge or
expertise in the physical and aesthetic environment of the City. The Director of
Public Works shall provide staff support to the City Tree Advisory Board and shall
appoint a Tree Manager.
The vacancy within the CTAB is due to the passing of one of the existing four
committee members. Ms. Jan Stilwell was on the CTAB since the inception in
1996 and remained an active member of the community with a passion for
improving the City through the trees that thrive within it. She was a kind person
who had a positive impact on Seal Beach.
