BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In February 2016, Staff notified the members of the City Advisory Boards that it was
time to consider the appointment of a new Chair to the respective boards. The current
Chairs of the six Advisory Boards were appointed on the following dates:
Advisory Board
Current Chair
Date Appointed

Diana Feinberg

Finance Advisory Committee
John Stillo
March 3, 2015

Traffic Safety Committee

was Anthony Self)
March 3, 2015
Infrastructure Management Advisory
Committee
Lowell Wedemeyer
October 21, 2014*
*In March 2015, a new Chair for the Infrastructure Management Advisory Committee (IMAC)
was not appointed since the IMAC had been formed just five months earlier and a Chair
1
selected at that time.
Since only one member from each of the first five Advisory Boards has indicated a
desire to be considered as Chair of that board for 2016, Staff suggests that the City
Council forego interviews and consider the appointments of the following:
Advisory Board
Interested In Chair Position
Emergency Preparedness Committee
Diana Feinberg
Finance Advisory Committee
Ron Santarosa
Planning Commission
David Tomblin
Storm Drain User Fee Committee
Mickey Rodich
Traffic Safety Committee
Jessica Vlaco
The following two candidates are interested in serving as IMAC Chair: Lowell
Wedemeyer and Jon Spain. Mr. Wedemeyer was interviewed earlier this evening, and
Mr. Spain contacted the Council Members individually since he was not available for an
interview this evening. The City Council may select the IMAC Chair based upon the
information and qualifications provided at and prior to tonight's meeting.
ALTERNATIVE:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council's consideration:
If the City Council prefers to interview those interested in serving as the
Chair to their respective boards before deciding upon their appointments,
Staff can arrange interviews of each of the applicants with the full Council,
at a future date to be determined.
