RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt resolution affirming City Council Committees and repealing Resolution No. 2017-076.
2. Appoint two to three members to the Legislative Affairs, Ethics, Transparency and
Communications Council Committee.
3. Approve modified meeting schedule to increase the frequency of the Joint Santa Ana Unified
School District and City Council Committee meetings from quarterly to bimonthly meetings.
DISCUSSION
The City Council first established Council Committees in 1999. Since then, they are periodically
reviewed to ensure that the diverse issues and challenges facing the City are adequately
addressed. At the March 19, 2019, City Council Meeting, council approved the calendar
schedule of established meetings and list of members for the established Council Committees
2019-2020 (as outlined in the table below). However, due to the restriction set forth in
Resolution 2017-076 along with the resignation from Roman Reyna as the City Council Ward 4
representative, council was unable to make appointments to the Legislative Affairs, Ethics,
Transparency and Communication Council Committee.
The recommended action also includes a modification to the Joint Santa Ana Unified School
District and City Council Committee meeting schedule. At the April 22, 2019 meeting, the
committee members from the district and the city discussed the frequency of their meetings and
mutually agreed that they would prefer to meet on a bimonthly basis. The proposed meeting
schedule has been updated below to reflect the committee's recommendation.

Per Resolution No. 2017-076, Council Committees shall consist of two or three Councilmembers
and Councilmembers may not serve on more than two committees at a time. Based on the
feedback received from some of the Councilmembers at the March 19, 2019, Council meeting
and the vacancy in ward 4, staff is recommending repealing Resolution No. 2017-076 to remove
the restriction on the number of committees a councilmember wishes to serve during their two-
year term, but subject to change at the request of the City Council.
