RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
MODIFYING THE CITY'S COMMISSION APPOINTMENT PROCEDURES
WHEREAS, at the November 6, 2017 City Council meeting, the City Council discussed
its "Procedure for Appointments to City Commissions and Boards" and suggested certain
revisions; and
WHEREAS, the revisions to the Procedure, including suggested changes from staff,
consist of the following:
• The addition of language to ensure that the deadline for board or commission
applications is automatically extended by two weeks when a board or commission
member chooses not to reapply for the position. This is similar to the situation that
occurs when an incumbent Councilmember chooses not to file for re-election. In that
case, the deadline is automatically extended by several days to allow other candidates
to enter the race.
• The addition of the Recreation Center as a place to post notice of vacancies.
• The modification to the language regarding attendance at a meeting to note that
applicants are strongly encouraged to attend a meeting of the relevant Board or
Commission or to have watched one on television or online for those meetings that are
televised and streamed.
• The replacement of the City Clerk with the City Attorney as the responsible party for
training new Board and Commission members. This reflects the City's current practice.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Burlingame
modifies the "Procedure for Appointments to City Commissions and Boards" as described
above. _
I, Meaghan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk of the City of 'Burlingame, do hereby certify that the
foregoing Resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 20th day
of November, by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: BEACH, BROWNRIGG, COLSON, KEIGHRAN, ORTIZ
