BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
City Councilmembers represent the City on various intergovernmental agencies and
associations that consider policy and legislation that directly affect the City. In addition,
City Council members serve on City Council Ad Hoc and Standing Subcommittees.
Assignments to these organizations, associations, and committees have traditionally
been made after the annual City Council reorganization and selection of the Mayor in
December of each year.
Following the December 11, 2025 City Council reorganization, the current list of
assignments was sent to all City Councilmembers so that each would have the
1

opportunity to identify the ones that align with their interests, review their meeting dates
and times, along with any Form 700 requirements (Attachment C).
At this time, Staff recommend selecting two Councilmembers to these organizations,
associations, and committees to ensure the City has representation on each. After the
appointments are made, Staff will notify each of the agencies regarding the decisions.
Attached for the Council’s consideration is the proposed draft 2025 City Council
Assignments (Attachment A) and a redlined version based on the 2024 Council
Assignments (Attachment B).
It should be noted that Staff member, Associate Planner Robert Nemeth, attends the LAX
Community Noise Roundtable meetings. Additionally, the City Manager and Deputy City
Manager attend the Peninsula Regional Law Enforcement Committee and Peninsula
Public Safety Committee meetings with the City Council delegates assigned to that
organization.
