8.C. - Page 3 December 4, 2012 Honorable Name, Title Agency Address City, State, Zip Subject: Participation on Blue Ribbon Task Force to Consider Changes to South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) Governance Structure and Board Composition Dear <Title Name>: As you know, there have been informal discussions among some city managers and elected officials of SBWMA's member agencies about the desire to explore possible changes to SBWMA's governance structure and board composition. Earlier this year, the SBWMA board asked member agencies to provide written confirmation of their desire to examine such changes. Instead of the governance structure being examined by the current governing board, my colleagues and I on the City Council of Redwood City agree that a full exploration of this question is best accomplished through the formation of a Blue Ribbon Task Force made up of elected officials from member agencies. I am writing to ask if a member of your elected body would like to participate on this Task Force by appointing an elected official to serve. Even if your agency responded to SBWMA's earlier request this year on governance changes, I would request to hear from your jurisdiction on the question of Task Force participation as well. You may want to advise your city manager if you'd like to participate on the Task Force, and ask he/she to notify Redwood City's City Manager Bob Bell by the first week in February. A fully representative Task Force will provide the best opportunity for the variety of interests related to this issue to be fully identified and explored, and will result in the maximum number of quality ideas and options for the group to consider. Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to hearing from your jurisdiction as to your preference for serving on the Blue Ribbon Task Force. Sincerely, Alicia Aguirre Mayor C: Members, City Council Bob Bell, City Manager
