DATE: March 28, 2011
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, Acting City Manager
FROM: Mark Persico, AICP, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: ADDITION OF ALTERNATE MEMBERS TO THE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CONTROL BOARD
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Introduce Ordinance No. 1607 to allow appointment of alternate members to the
Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB).
BACKGROUND:
Per the direction of the City Council, attached is a draft ordinance that, if
adopted, would allow appointment of alternate members to the Environmental
Quality Control Board (EQCB).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are no fiscal impacts associated with adoption of the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 3.10.005 the EQCB is comprised of 5
members that serve 4 year terms. Further Section 802 of the City Charter states:
"each Council member shall nominate one member to boards and committees.
Such nominations shall be confirmed by at least three affirmative votes of the
City Council." However, neither the Municipal Code nor Charter prohibits
appointment of additional members; nor in fact, the Recreation and Parks
Commission can have Ex Officio, non - voting, members in accordance with
Municipal Code Section 3.10.015.
In this case staff is suggesting the addition of alternate members with voting
powers only when the primary member is absent. This will maintain the voting
balance between City Council Districts. Appointment of an alternate will also

assure better representation for each Council District, because the alternate will
vote when the primary member cannot.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council introduce Ordinance Number 1607 to allow appointment of
alternate committee members to the Environmental Quality Control Board.
