BACKGROUND
Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen requested this item be placed on the agenda to reconsider appointments made to various Council ad hoc committees and liaison roles.
Currently, the following ad hoc committees and liaison roles are assigned:
• Blakey Park Ad Hoc Committee - Mayor Nguyen, District 2 Council Member Carlos Manzo
• 2027 Tet Parade Liaisons - Officeholder of Mayor, District 4 Council Member NamQuan Nguyen
Mayor Nguyen would like the City Council to reconsider these appointments and make changes if the Council desires.
In addition, there are current efforts related to the Little Saigon archway project. Mayor Nguyen would also like to appoint up to two liaisons from the City Council to work with staff as necessary throughout the project in areas related to design and feedback from outreach efforts.
For the purposes of distinguishing between an ad hoc committee role and liaison role as practiced, the ad hoc committee is required to report to the rest of the City Council through regular updates; a liaison provides input during a process and final decisions are presented to the overall Council by staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
