City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council confirm the appointment of Mr. Clement Hanami to the Cultural
Affairs Commission, Seat #5.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On June 13, 2005, the City Council considered appointments to various Commissions
including Planning, Parks, Recreation & Community Services, Civil Service and Cultural
Affairs. During that meeting, three appointments were made to the Cultural Affairs
Commission which include the reappointment of Dr. Luther Henderson to Commission
Seat #1, expiring in June 2009; appointment of Gayle Smashey to Commission Seat #2,
expiring in June 2009; and Clement Hanami to Commission Seat #5, expiring in June
2006.
On July 8, 2005, the City Attorney’s office reviewed the July 12, 2005 Cultural Affairs
packet which included the applications of the new commissioners and discovered that
at the time of application submission, Mr. Hanami was not a registered voter in Culver
City.
Although this requirement is silent in the Municipal Code and was not advertised as a
requirement for appointment consideration, the City Attorney’s office noted that Section
802 of the Charter requires that members of boards and commissions be appointed
“from the qualified electors of the City.” This section applies to all commissions
established by the City Council regardless of whether this qualification is included in the
Municipal Code. To this end, it was advised that Mr. Hanami not be seated at the
Cultural Affairs Commission meeting on July 12, 2005.
