At the request of Mayor Lesser, approve the revised City Council Assignments.
Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
No fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.
BACKGROUND:
City Council Assignments are the discretionary responsibility of each Mayor to review the standing list of assignments to various government and community-related committees and make changes as he or she feels are necessary.
At the February 7, 2017 City Council meeting, a City Council reorganization took place that selected Mayor Lesser and Mayor Pro Tem Howorth. Customarily, City Council approves each assignment at the City Council reorganization. However, given the proximity to the General Municipal Election, Mayor Lesser deferred the assignment to a date following the election.
DISCUSSION:
At the request of Mayor Lesser, revisions have been made to the assignment list that includes: 1) Revising the appointments to include the new City Councilmembers, 2) Add underscoring to note the addition of the Pier/Roundhouse Improvement Project created by Council recently 3) Highlight the four Council Subcommittees Mayor Lesser proposes to eliminate using strike outs on the attachment.
Mayor Lesser proposes to eliminate the Manhattan Beach Open Subcommittee, the Policy Governance Subcommittee, the Library Subcommittee and the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA).
In addition, the City Council Assignments and Committee descriptions have been revised to reflect updated committee descriptions and updated regularly scheduled meetings.
POLICY ALTERNATIVES:
