CC 2014-01-14_08.p. Appointment to the HSOCTO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: MEMORANDUM CITY COUNCIL STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE IN APPOINTMENT OF COUNCIL MEMBER TO THE HOMELESS SERVICES OVERSIGHT COUNCIL (HSOC) JANUARY 14, 2014 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council approve the appointment of Council Member Barneich to the Homeless Services Oversight Council (HSOC). 5 IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: There is no fiscal impact from this action. BACKGROUND: On November 12, 2013, Council Member Barneich was sworn in and seated as a new Council Member. On November 25, 2013, the City Council reviewed current appointments to the regional and local boards, commissions, and committees that have Council representation. At that time, Council Member Guthrie was appointed to be the City's primary representative on the HSOC and Council Brown was designated as the Alternate. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: At the November 25th meeting, Council Member Guthrie expressed a desire to change his status as the primary representative on the HSOC. It was unknown if a change could be made at that time since appointments to the HSOC are approved by the Board of Supervisors, so his reappointment as the primary was approved by the Council. Council Member Guthrie has now submitted a formal resignation from the HSOC, and Council Member Barneich expressed interest in serving as the primary representative. If approved by the City Council, Council Member Barneich would become the primary representative upon approval by the Board of Supervisors, and Council Member Brown would remain as the alternate.
