9.A. - Page 2 May 21, 2012 meeting. That first round of appointments represented Phase I of the recruitment process. ANALYSIS The City Council is the appointing body for eight BCCs. There are three Chartered bodies (Planning, Port and Library) and the others are: Civic Cultural Commission, the Board of Building Review, the Housing and Human Concerns Committee, the Parks Recreation and Community Services Commission, and the Senior Affairs Commission. As per the recent restructuring of the Boards, Commissions and Committees, the Planning Commission makes appointments to the Architectural Advisory Committee and the Historic Resources Advisory Committee. Due to the timing when seats expire staff divided the recruitment into two parts. Phase I addressed seats expiring May 31 and Phase II addressed those seats expiring June 30 or July 31. All applicants were considered for their first choice on their applications. It is Council's prerogative to reconsider non-appointed applicants for their second choice listed on the application. The Phase I recruitment led to 17 appointments and two unfilled seats: one in the Parks and Recreation Commission and one in the Senior Affairs Commission. At the time of the appointments on May 21, 2012, City Council consensus was to "direct staff to contact applicants that were interviewed but not appointed and see if the applicants would consider applying for other existing unfilled vacancies." Mayor Aguirre contacted the two applicants that were not appointed for any of the Phase I seats. One applicant responded to the Mayor's invitation, Ms. Padilla, and offered her interest to serve on the unfilled seat on either Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission (seat expiring 5/31/2016) or the Senior Affairs Commission (seat expiring 5/31/2014). At the same meeting, Council also directed staff to recruit for any unfilled seats. This will occur once the City Council considers the possibility of this additional appointment. The City Clerk's Office will also recruit for the one unfilled seat on the Historic Resources Advisory Committee. The goal of this recruitment is to afford the Planning Commission additional applicants for consideration. It is anticipated that this recruitment will take place in the July timeframe with appointments and interviews in September. ALTERNATIVES Council may decide not to make appointments.
