CC 2013-11-12_10.a. Appointment to Fill Council VacancyMEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER jk
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO FILL CITY COUNCIL
VACANCY
DATE: NOVEMBER 12, 2013
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended: 1) the City Council approve an appointment to fill the existing City
Council vacancy; and 2) the individual appointed be sworn in and take the Oath of
Office by the City Clerk.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no cost impact from making the appointment.
BACKGROUND:
Former Council Member Ray submitted her resignation on October 4, 2013 following
her appointment to the County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors. State law
does not identify any specific procedure that must be followed in filling a vacancy on a
City Council. Therefore, the City Council has considerable discretion in determining
what procedure to utilize, with the only significant constraint being the sixty (60) day
statutory time frame within which to act, which means the Council must take action by
December 3, 2013.
At the October 8 meeting, the City Council considered options for the process to fill the
vacancy. The following was agreed upon:
• The City Council vacancy would be filled by City Council appointment.
• Application and Notice of Vacancy forms were approved and a deadline to
submit applications by October 18, 2013 was established.
• An applicant public forum would be scheduled to provide public involvement in
the process.
• The appointment was tentatively scheduled to take place at the November 12,
2013 meeting. Following an additional opportunity for candidate and public
feedback, Council Members would rank all the applicants. The rankings would
Item 10.a. - Page 1
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO FILL CITY COUNCIL VACANCY

PAGE 2of3
be tabulated and presented by staff. The initial motion would be for either of the
top two ranked applicants.
• The new Council Member would be seated at the November 12, 2013 meeting.
At the October 22, 2013 meeting, four City Council questions were then developed for
candidates to respond to at the forum.
Staff issued the Notice of Vacancy and a press release. Applications were made
available on the City website and at City Hall. The public forum was scheduled and
conducted on October 29, 2013, which was moderated by the League of Woman
Voters. Announcements of the forum were placed on the City's website, cable
television government access channel, and through a flyer distributed to community
organizations. The forum was taped by AGP Video and subsequently broadcast on the
City's cable television government access channel a number of times.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City received applications from the following individuals:
• Kristen Barneich
• Dale Hanson
• Barbara Harmon
• Burke Nelson
• Glo Rivera
• Christopher Fontes
Glo Rivera and Christopher Fontes have since withdrawn their applications. Copies of
the applications of the four remaining applicants are attached. The City Clerk has
verified that they are eligible for appointment pursuant to State law.
The Brown Act requires that all deliberation regarding the appointment be done in
public. A ranking form is attached, which is identical to the one used in 2010. The
following process is recommended based on Council direction:
1. Each applicant is provided an opportunity to make a five minute statement.
2. City Council members may ask questions of the applicants either after their
statement or at the end of all their statements.
3. The public is provided an opportunity for comment.
4. City Council may discuss the applications and/or process.
5. The ranking form is completed by each Council Member.
The tabulation will be done openly at the meeting. Once the ranking forms are
completed, it is recommended they be submitted to the City Clerk to tabulate the
results. As a part of the tabulation process, each Council Member's individual ranking
sheet will be displayed for public review and results will be entered onto a Final Ranking
Sheet. Upon tabulation by the City Clerk, the final applicant rankings will be displayed.

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO FILL CITY COUNCIL VACANCY
NOVEMBER 12, 2013
PAGE 3of3
The City Council may then utilize the results in formulating a motion for the
appointment.
When an appointment is approved by a majority of the Council, it is recommended the
individual appointed be invited to come forward to be sworn in by the City Clerk and be
seated for the remainder of the meeting. If for some reason the City Council is not
successful in approving an appointment at the meeting, it would still have until
December 3, 2013 to take action. Therefore, it could be accomplished by continuing the
item to the November 26, 2013 meeting or by scheduling a special meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
Make the appointment at the November 12, 2013 meeting per the process set
forth by the Council;
Modify the process and make the appointment at the meeting;
Continue the appointment to the November 26, 2013 meeting or direct staff to
schedule consideration of the appointment at a special meeting; or
Provide staff other direction.
ADVANTAGES:
The appointment shall fill the vacancy in a timely manner and provide a full City Council
to address a number of important City issues that will be coming up in the near future.
The process developed by the City Council is fair, objective and provides for public
involvement.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, November 7, 2013. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 8, 2013.
Any letters received from the public submitted separately from the applications are
attached.

SUBJECT: Letter of Reference for Barbara Harmon
' '
Dear Honorable Mayor Ferrara and Members of the City Council:
I am writing this letter on behalf of Barbara Harmon who is applying for the City Council seat
recently vacated by Supervisor Caren Ray.
I have known Barbara for approximately 15 years, meeting her through the Rotary Club, and
as an involved member of our community. She and her husband, Marcus, have volunteered
for many community work projects and Rotary fundraisers. As a result of her participation,
many of our local non-profits and community causes have been better able to serve our
citizens.
Barbara is dedicated to serving the community. This is evidenced by her 20 plus years of
distinguished service to the Santa Barbara County Probation Department. Through her
tenure with Probation, she gained essential skills in process and governance that will assist
her in being a strong asset to the City Council. I personally know of the interest with which
Ms. Harmon has followed the actions and challenges regularly placed before our City
government.
I am hopeful that Barbara Harmon will be strongly considered to fill our current City Council
vacancy.
Sincerely,
"ef, Retired
Arroyo Grande/Grover Beach Fire Department

Barbara exudes a strong work ethic; she has great follow up and a
dedication to getting the job done. She understands the needs of her
community and works tirelessly; her energy and positive attitude will
be a benefit to the City Council and community.

Steve,
ATTACHMENT 3
Please forward this to the committee to fill the vacancy in the Council:
Thank you.
Kristen Barneich is the logical choice for the vacant seat on the Arroyo
Grande City Council. Her experience alone qualifies her for this position,
but her passion and intelligence are a plus. She has been on the Planning
Commission for seven years and was on the Architectural Review
Commission for two years before that. In 2005 she and her dad and a
handful of Arroyo Grande citizens founded the Arroyo Grande Tree Guild.
Since that time the Guild has planted 292 trees all over the city with the
cooperation of city staff. She has a collaborative spirit with everyone with
whom she works. Most of all, she truly loves this city and will work with
others to keep it the best little city on the coast.
