Department Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council receive a presentation on the Citizens Advisory Committee Work Plan Calendar and provide suggestions or recommended actions for the following plan period of calendar year 2022.
Background Discussion:
The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) was formed by the City Council in 1969 and has been tasked by the Council with serving as part of the Community Development Block Grant review process, conducting the Public Opinion Survey, reviewing the City's Rates and Fees, and conducing the Non-Profit grant application and review process. As part of the Measure T accountability process, the CAC was charged with being the group that provides oversight of the Measure, in addition to an independent auditor. With Measure N, the CAC was charged with appointing two members to the Oversight Committee.
Although these tasks take up most of the agenda work calendar, the committee recognizes that with the addition of new members from disbanded committees in 2021, a small broadening of scope may be needed. The new items that are suggested by the committee to be added include Eco Awards, conservation tips, and an outlet for citizens that may need direction for ADA concerns.
The following work plan calendar is proposed for the calendar year 2022. In the future, the work plan can be presented in the same format or by fiscal year, as Council prefers.
