Appointments to the Board of Appeals, Library Board, Parks & Recreation Commission, Personnel Board, Senior Commission, and Transportation Commission are due to be made as part of the bi-annual recruitment process. Recruitment for all vacancies occurred in October 2022, video interviews of the applicants were conducted by the City Clerk Department, and the City Attorney’s Office reviewed the Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700) for potential conflicts of interest. The application, video interviews, and confidential attorney review are compiled and provided to the City Council for consideration. No extra applications were received for the Board of Appeals, Library Board, Personnel Board, and Transportation Commission and as such, the appointment of the candidates is recommended.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA Statute §21065 and CEQA State Guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378. The appointment of members to boards or commissions meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.
