MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JIM BERGMAN, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS TO THE
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE AND TRAFFIC COMMISSION
DATE: MAY 23, 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council: 1) approve the recommendation of Mayor Hill to appoint
Coleen Kubel to the Architectural Review Committee; and 2) approve the
recommendation of Mayor Hill to appoint Rodney Pappas to the Traffic Commission,
contingent upon the appointment of Coleen Kubel to the Architectural Review
Committee.
IMPACT TO FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no fiscal impact from this action.
BACKGROUND:
City Council policy sets forth appointment procedures for the City’s commissions,
boards, and committees. The policy states that the Mayor and each respective member
of the City Council shall recommend a representative to the various commissions,
boards and committees, subject to the approval by a majority vote of the Council. All
commission, board, and committee members serve at the pleasure of the Council.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
An unscheduled vacancy has occurred on the Architectural Review Committee (ARC)
due to a resignation by John Rubatzky, effective April 3, 2017. The term for this seat
expires January 31, 2019. A Notice of Vacancy was posted at City Hall and on the City’s
website. Jon Couch and Coleen Kubel, who is currently serving on the Traffic
Commission, have submitted applications for the vacant Architectural Review
Committee seat (Attachments 1 & 2).
Members of the Architectural Review Committee and the Traffic Commission must be
qualified electors of the City. In addition, appointment procedures for the ARC specify
that three members should have technical design and/or landscaping design knowledge
and experience and should be able to read and interpret mechanical, architectural and
engineering drawings as they relate to the appearance of a proposed building, signage,
structure, and landscaping upon a site and the surrounding community. The two (2)

other members of the Committee may, but need not, have technical design and/or
landscaping design knowledge and experience. There are currently three members on
the ARC that meet the technical design and/or landscaping design requirements.
Mayor Hill has recommended the Architectural Review Committee vacancy be filled by
Coleen Kubel. Since Ms. Kubel currently serves on the Traffic Commission, if appointed
to the Architectural Review Committee, she will automatically vacate her seat on the
Traffic Commission. In anticipation of this potential vacancy, an application was filed by
Rodney Pappas indicating an interest in serving on the Traffic Commission (Attachment
3).
Mayor Hill has recommended that the potential vacancy on the Traffic Commission be
filled by Rodney Pappas. The term for this seat expires January 31, 2019.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve the recommended appointments;
2. Do not approve the recommended appointments; or
3. Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approval of these recommended appointments will provide for a full membership of the
Architectural Review Committee, and for an appointment to an anticipated vacancy on
the Traffic Commission.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages are identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
