Body
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is an informational report to City Council to publically announce the Open Government Commission (OGC) appointments made by Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft, Councilmember Boller and Vice Mayor Pryor.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Alameda Municipal Code (AMC) Section 2-22.2(b), each City Councilmember is to appoint one member to the OGC for a term that runs concurrent with the City Councilmember’s term. Appointments to the OGC do not require confirmation by the City Council. Accordingly, this report is submitted for informational purposes only.
DISCUSSION
Since Commissioner Klinton Miyao resigned, Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft is appointing Lee Harris to the Commission. Councilmember Boller is appointing Evan Gomez-Shwartz and Vice Mayor Pryor is appointing Zac Bowling.
ALTERNATIVES
This report is submitted for informational purposes only. There is no action for City Council to take, so alternatives do not exist.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds have not been allocated for this activity. The City Attorney and City Clerk offices provide OGC support using existing personnel accounted for in the City’s General Fund Budget (Fund 100).
MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE
AMC Section 2-22.2(b).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” as defined in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 and therefore no further CEQA analysis is required.
CLIMATE CHANGE
There are no identifiable climate impacts or climate action opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RECOMMENDATION
Accept report on the appointment of Open Government Commission Members.
Respectfully submitted,
Lara Weisiger, City Clerk
