DISABILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Steve Bauer Robyn Tenensap
Should the City Council direct that the CDBGAC membership be increased, then
staff would advertise this vacancy in the local newspaper. In addition, staff would
contact the Culver City Unified School District, and other non-public schools, to
broaden notification of this opportunity. To ensure the broadest exposure to
students, it is proposed to advertise for this position in September, 2007. Council
may wish to set an age range for potential applicants (for example: 15 to 17 years of
age). In order to be consistent with appointments of Culver City committee and
commission members, it is recommended that the Youth CDBGAC member be a
Culver City resident.
Should the Council take this action, it is expected the Council could consider an
appointment at the first meeting in October, 2007.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
Increasing the Committee’s membership would subject the new member of the
Committee to the requirements of AB 1234 (Ethics Training). It is expected this
annual training would result in a $50 cost. Advertisement in the local newspaper
would be an additional cost. It is expected this cost could be accommodated in the
FY 2007-08 Budget.
ATTACHMENTS:
None.
MOTION:
That the City Council:
Consider expanding the membership of the CDBG Advisory Committee by one
seat to be filled by a Youth Representative, provide an age range for the potential
applicants, and provide additional direction to staff as deemed appropriate.
