Agenda Item Brief:

Committee appointments.

Background:

The SCAC formed to provide citizen input to the City Council and to engage in and promote volunteerism in the City of Sparks. The Mayor and Council make appointments to the SCAC, and members must be residents of the City of Sparks who have a desire to learn more about city government and a willingness to share their knowledge with others. At least one member appointed by the Mayor must be a sitting planning commissioner.

Analysis:

The City of Sparks has one vacancy on the SCAC for the Mayor's appointment from the Sparks Planning Commission. The appointment will be for a period that is coterminous with the term of the elected official who appointed the applicant to the Sparks Planning Commission.

Announcements were not made as Resolution No. 3162 indicates that the Mayor make his choice from the Sparks Planning Commission membership roster. Mayor Ron Smith has reviewed the applicants and has chosen David Blaco. Council may confirm the appointment.

Alternatives:

1. Council may approve the appointment.

2. Council may reject the appointment and provide further direction to the Mayor or City Manager.

Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the appointment of David Blaco to the Sparks Citizen's Advisory Committee.
