A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES REDUCING THE QUORUM LEVEL FOR THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
STEERING COMMITTEE FROM 8 MEMBERS TO 6 MEMBERS
WHEREAS, On April 2, 2002, as a first step toward updating the General Plan, the City Council
created a 15- member General Plan Update Steering Committee (Committee) with the purpose of
focusing on the existing Goals and Policies of the General Plan to determine if the goals and policies
need revision; and
Whereas, the Committee has conducted meetings on October 30, 2002, November 20, 20021
December 18, 2002, and February 17, 2003; and
Whereas, because the Committee has been having some trouble in reaching a quorum, such as
at their December meeting where the meeting was delayed until a quorum could be reached and at
their January meeting which had to be cancelled as only 7 members were in attendance, at their
February 17, 2003 meeting, the Committee requested that the City Council reduce the quorum level for
this Committee from the current 8 members to 6 members; and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2003, the City Council considered the Committee's request, at which
time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That due to the large size of this 14 member Committee, and that each Committee
Member is also involved on a separate Committee and /or Commission that serves the City, and that
this Committee serves only as an advisory body to the City Council, the quorum level can be reduced.
Section 2: For the foregoing reason and based on the information contained in the staff report
and evidence presented, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby reduces the
quorum level for the General Plan Update Steering Committee to 6 members.
