Daly City mayor proposes ad hoc committee to improve commission recruitment and attendance
Summary
The mayor proposed forming an ad hoc committee to review recruitment, advertising, descriptions and attendance expectations for city commissions, citing several current vacancies; he asked Vice Mayor Perano to participate and said the council will consider a formal item later.
Daly City — Mayor proposed creation of an ad hoc committee to review the city’s commission appointment and attendance policies and to solicit recommendations for improving recruitment and participation.
The mayor said the review would cover advertising openings, clarifying commission descriptions and setting attendance expectations; he cited current vacancies the city clerk’s notices show for several commissions (arts and culture, library board of trustees, personnel, recreation and small business). The mayor suggested standard attendance expectations — for example, that commissioners who meet 12 times a year should attend at least three meetings — and asked Vice Mayor Teresa Perano to serve on the ad hoc committee. He said staff will provide information to the council and a formal recommendation will return for council approval in a future meeting.
No formal appointment was made at the meeting; the proposal was informational and intended to prompt a future council action.
