REQUIRING ADOPTION OF A MOTION
Council representatives are currently serving on the following Subcommittees. A
few of these Subcommittees were established for a limited or specific purpose and
the Council may now wish to eliminate those Subcommittees that have fulfilled their
purpose.
Additionally, the Council-Manager form of government approved by the voters in
2006 has also provided for an opportunity to dissolve certain Subcommittees which
formerly addressed items which are administrative in nature.
City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
J4-8
In addition to the change in governmental format, the current unprecedented fiscal
reality also makes it important to review the efficiency of all Subcommittees. The
staff time related to the administration of Subcommittees can be significant. At a
time where the City will have reduced financial and staff resources available, it is
critical that the remaining resources are allocated as efficiently as possible to
maintain the core functions of the City.
This report proposes the elimination of 11 Subcommittees. Staff will continue to
provide periodic updates and recommendations to the City Council on further ways
to improve efficiency and complete the transition to the City Council-City Manager
form of government. It is expected the City Manager will present a report on this
specific topic to the City Council in the third calendar quarter of 2010.
Staff provides its recommendation with each Subcommittee.
(15) Joint City Council/Redevelopment Agency Brotman Medical Center
Subcommittee
Vice Mayor O’Leary and former Council Member Silbiger currently serve on this
Subcommittee.
Staff recommendation: This Joint Ad-Hoc Subcommittee was formed to address a
very specific topic which arose due to the bankruptcy filing by the former owners of
Brotman Medical Center. The issues which prompted the creation of this
Subcommittee no longer exist. Therefore, staff recommends DISSOLVING this
Subcommittee as its work is complete.
If the City Council determines to continue this Subcommittee:
Motion: That the City Council/Redevelopment Agency appoint Council Member
_______________ and Council Member _______________ to the Ad-Hoc
Brotman Medical Center Subcommittee.
(16) EPMC/Labor-Management and Executive Agreements Subcommittee
Mayor Armenta and Council Member Malsin are currently serving on this
Subcommittee.
Staff recommendation: This Subcommittee was formed while the City was
operating under the Council-CAO form of government when many Department Head
positions reported to the City Council directly. Given the fact that only two executive
positions in the City include agreements (the City Manager and the City Attorney),
and given the importance of receiving the full City Council’s input when these issues City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
J4-9
are discussed, staff recommends these issues be addressed by the City Council as
a whole. The issues which prompted the creation of this Subcommittee no longer
exist. Therefore, staff recommends DISSOLVING this Subcommittee.
If the City Council determines to continue this Subcommittee:
Motion: That the City Council appoint Council Member _______________ and
Council Member _______________ to the Ad-Hoc EPMC/Labor-Management

Agenda Item Report
J4-10
Member_______________ as Members of the Judiciary and Finance Subcommittee
and Members of the Audit, Financial Planning, and Budget Subcommittee; Council
Member _______________ to the City Treasurer’s Investment Subcommittee. The
Culver City Municipal Code provides for the City Council to appointment of two of its
members and one alternate as members of the Finance and Judiciary
Subcommittee. However, due to potential Brown Act issues created by having an
alternate, it is the City Attorney’s recommendation that an alternate member not be
appointed.
(20) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Day Activities Subcommittee
Former Council Member Silbiger and Vice Mayor O’Leary currently serve as
members of this Subcommittee.
At the City Council meeting of February 19, 2008, the City Council determined the

current members of the Committee are working with staff to present a list of
proposed members of the newly formed City committee to the City Council for
ratification. Upon creation of the new committee and ratification of its members by
the City Council, the MLK Day Activities Committee will be an official City
Committee.
Staff recommendation: This Subcommittee was formed while the City was
operating under the Council-CAO form of government. The MLK Day Activity is
produced by the City with input and assistance from a group of citizens. City Council
Members are always welcome to attend meetings of the citizens group. However,
appointment of an official City Council Subcommittee for this purpose is not
recommended. Therefore, staff recommends DISSOLVING this Subcommittee (but
certainly supports the continued efforts of the citizens group and encourages
Members of the City Council – keeping in mind the requirements of the Brown Act -
to attend meetings of the citizens group as desired).
If the City Council determines to continue this Subcommittee:
Motion: That the City Council appoint Council Member _______________ and

FISCAL IMPACT:
City Council and Agency subcommittee meetings involve a significant amount of
staff resources, of which the amount is difficult to quantify. The majority of any
related fiscal impact would be absorbed within departmental budgets. Given the
current budget issues facing the City, it is particularly important to allocate the even
scarcer staff and financial resources to those areas which maintain the City’s core
services consistent with the Council-Manager form of government.
