SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: June 17, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Ann Sullivan, City Clerk DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Mayor or Mayor’s Designee to Appoint
Representatives to Outside Agencies/Committees Representing the City of
Saratoga
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution authorizing the Mayor to appoint representatives to four (4) Outside
Agencies/Committees representing the City of Saratoga.
BACKGROUND:
During the May 20, 2009 City Council Meeting, staff was directed to move forward with a
Resolution authorizing the Mayor or Mayor’s designee to be the authorized person appointing
representatives to serve on four (4) Outside Agencies/Committees that require representation
from the City of Saratoga. Those agencies are: 1) VTA Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (BPAC); 2) Advisory Council to the Council on Aging; 3) Housing & Community
Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC); and 4) Water Pollution Control Plant Master Plan
Community Advisory Group. In addition, the Council directed staff to incorporate these four
agencies/committees into the normal process of reviewing City Commissions and to list the four
Outside Agencies/Committees on the Commission page of the City Website along with the
contact information of the representatives serving on these committees.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, three of the four agencies are represented by a Saratoga resident, with the exception of
the HCDAC. Staff has submitted a recruitment ad in the Saratoga News asking interested
residents to apply for this position; the application deadline is August 28, 2009. The Mayor could
make an appointment to this committee before the next scheduled HCDAC meeting, which is
October 22, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no financial impacts.

process of reviewing City Commissions and provide the Mayor with final recruitment results for
him/her to make informed appointments to these agencies/committees when terms expire.
