SUBJECT: Title
Reorganization of the Parking and Public Improvements Commission - Selection of Parking and Public Improvements Commission Chair and Vice-Chair
Body
_________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Parking and Public Improvements Commission select members to serve as the Chair and Vice-Chair positions for the upcoming year.
BACKGROUND:
Each June, the Parking and Public Improvements Commission selects a Chair and Vice-Chair to serve for the upcoming year, through May 31. Traditionally, the Vice-Chair is selected as Chair for the following term, and the Commissioner with the next greatest seniority is chosen as Vice-Chair. This rotation is based on the order of earliest appointment among Commissioners who have not previously served as Chair.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, Gita O’Neill serves as Vice-Chair. She was appointed on January 21, 2025, and has not previously served as Chair. Stefan Kampe, appointed on September 2, 2025, is next in line for Vice-Chair and has not previously served as Chair. Based on the established rotation, staff recommends appointing Gita O’Neill as Chair and Stefan Kampe as Vice-Chair for the upcoming term.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
