Council names liaisons to regional boards and adopts 2026 meeting schedule
Summary
The council approved several resolutions appointing council liaisons to regional boards and commissions (resolutions 26-03 through 26-06) and adopted the 2026 meeting schedule, including summer recess dates and a Dec. 15 special reorganization meeting.
The Sierra Madre City Council approved a slate of liaison appointments to regional boards and commissions and set its 2026 meeting calendar.
City Clerk summarized requested appointments: planning- and commission-level liaisons (Planning Commission, Library Board of Trustees, Natural Resources Commission, Senior Community Commission) and representatives to regional bodies including the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, the League of California Cities, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), Clean Power Alliance, and the Foothill Workforce Investment Board. Several groups default voting seats to the mayor and mayor pro tem (for example, certain Los Angeles County sanitation seats).
Council discussed scheduling constraints (school start dates, election deadlines) before adopting a schedule that keeps the July 14 and Aug. 25 meetings, cancels meetings for July 28 and Aug. 11, cancels the second November and December meetings, and adds a Dec. 15 special meeting for council reorganization. The motion to adopt the appointments and the related resolutions (26-03, 26-04, 26-05 and 26-06) passed by voice vote.
Mayor Christine Lo and Mayor Pro Tem Jean Goss, along with the named council liaisons, will represent the city to the listed regional organizations; staff will provide minutes and updates when the liaison is unable to attend.
Next steps: staff will circulate the roster of appointments and publish the adopted meeting calendar; council asked staff to better publicize outside-organization meeting dates and circulate notices to aid attendance and alternates.
