Appoint a member of Council to serve as either the Alternate or the Temporary

Sanitation District.
DISCUSSION
The City Council Members represent the City on various intergovernmental agencies
and associations that consider policy and legislation that directly impacts the City.In
addition,Council Members serve on City Subcommittees (Ad Hoc and Standing)and as
liaisons to several entities.
At the January 5,2010 City Council Meeting,the Mayor appointed Council Members to
the various organizations and associations for the 2010 calendar year.At that meeting,
Councilman Misetich was appointed to serve as the Alternate,and Mayor Pro Tem
Long was appointed to serve as the Temporary Alternate to the Los Angeles County
Sanitation District No.5 and the South Bay Cities Sanitation District.
On January 14,2010, Councilman Misetich notified staff and the City Attorney that he
might have a conflict of interest in serving on the Sanitation Districts'Board due to the
fact that he was just informed that the company he works for has recently secured a
contract with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts.Based on these facts,the
City Attorney has advised that Councilman Misetich should not represent the City in
connection with the Sanitation Districts due to the provisions of Government Code

Section 1090 and the Political Reform Act.Therefore,the Council will need to discuss
