BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On February 29, 2016, the City Clerk's Office received notification from Mr. Weiner that
he would be resigning from his position on the Emergency Preparedness Committee
(EPC), effective March 3, 2016, due to an appointment that would create a conflict of
interest.
On March 14, 2016, recruitment began for the vacancy on the EPC, with an unexpired
term of office ending January 6, 2019, or until a successor is appointed. The
recruitment was advertised and posted in compliance with City Council Policy No. 6 and
Government Code Section 54974, with postings at City Hall, Hesse Park, Ladera Linda
Park, and the Main (Peninsula Center) Library; and legal ads published in both the
Palos Verdes Peninsula News and Daily Breeze. At the conclusion of the recruitment,
the City received a total of five applications from residents interested in serving on the
EPC.
