DISCUSSION On December 21, 2006, the Secretary of State accepted and filed five Charter amendments ratified by the Santa Ana voters at the election on November 7, 2006. Charter Amendment CC amended portions of Section 901 of the Charter related to membership on boards and commissions. Subsection (e) of Section 901, as amended, requires the City Council to formally designate seven seats on all boards, commissions and committees. Six of the seats are to be designated by ward and the respective members will be nominated by the councilmember representing that ward, and one seat is designated as a city-wide seat to be nominated by the Mayor. The primary purpose of this amendment to Charter Section 901 was to formalize the long-standing Council practice of nominating and appointing board and commission seats by ward. The Clerk of the Council has for many years maintained the rosters of the boards and commissions with such designation. The ward designations outlined in Exhibi t A of the attached resolution reflect the current roster of members and are enumerated solely for the purpose of calculation of terms as provided in the revised Charter Section 901. The terms of office for all the incumbents listed in the Exhibit for Wards 2, 4, and 6 have expired, and the respective councilmembers would have to re- nominate the incumbent listed or make a new appointment for the terms beginning following the 2006 election. The terms for the incumbents listed in Exhibit A for Wards 1, 3, and 5 will expire in 2008. 550-1 Boards and Commissions Designations January 2, 2007 Page 2 The Charter amendment further specified that one of the seats on each board or commission would be a city-wide seat having a two year term which coincides with that of the Mayor. Due to this change, the terms of those incumbents nominated by the Mayor which were to expire in 2008 instead expired upon Measure CC going into effect and the Mayor would have to re-nominate the incumbent listed on Exhibit A or make a new appointment for a two year term. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Patricia E. Healy Clerk of the Council 550-2 (JWF 12/11/06) RESOLUTION NO. 2007- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DESIGNATING SIX WARD SEATS AND ONE CITY-WIDE SEAT ON VARIOUS BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES OF THE CITY. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. At the 2006 General Municipal Election, the voters of the City of Santa Ana approved Measure CC, which amended portions of Section 901 of the Santa Ana City Charter related to membership on boards and commissions. B. Subsection (e) of Section 901, as amended, calls upon the City Council to formally designate seven seats on all boards, commissions and committees, six by ward (to be nominated by the council member representing that ward) and one as a city-wide seat (to be nominated by the Mayor). C. The purpose of this amendment to Charter Section 901 is to formalize the long-standing informal City Council practice of nominating and appointing board and commission seats by ward. D. Because of this informal practice, the Clerk of the Council has, for many years, maintained the rosters of the boards and commissions with such designation. The current roster of members and the corresponding ward or city-wide status (in the case of persons nominated by the Mayor) is attached hereto as Exhibit A. E. The best means of carrying out the mandate of Measure CC is to formally continue the seat designations as set forth in Exhibit A, with the exception that the seat designated as City-Wide shall have a two year term to coincide with that of the Mayor. As such, the terms of those incumbents nominated by the Mayor whose terms were to expire in 2008 instead expired upon Measure CC going into effect and will be subject to reappointment. 550-3 Resolution No. 2007- Page 1 of 6 Section 2. Effective with those terms beginning following the 2006 General Municipal Election, there shall be on those boards, commissions and committees of the City identified in Exhibit A to this Resolution, one seat designated for Ward 1 through Ward 6, the members to be nominated and appointed as set forth in Section 901 of the Santa Ana City Charter. Additionally, there shall be an additional seat on said bodies designated as a "city-wide" seat, the member of which is to be nominated by the Mayor and appointed as called for in Section 901 of said charter. For those bodies set forth in Exhibit A with more than seven members, the other members shall be nominated and appointed as called for in the Charter, Municipal Code or other organic document or statute for such body. Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
