Public Works Commission names new vice chair, approves consent items
Summary
At the July 15 meeting the commission approved the consent calendar (May 20 minutes) and appointed Commissioner Britton as vice chair; a city attorney advisory note guided abstentions on minutes approval when commissioners did not attend.
Hermosa Beach — The Public Works Commission approved the consent calendar (including May 20 minutes) and appointed a vice chair at its July 15 meeting.
On the consent calendar, several commissioners abstained from approving minutes for a meeting they had not attended; staff advised (per city practice) that absent commissioners normally abstain from approving minutes, and the commission approved the calendar by roll call.
For leadership, staff reported a vacancy in the vice‑chair position after two commissioners completed their terms. Chair moved to appoint Commissioner Britton as vice chair; a roll call confirmed the appointment.
Outcome: Consent calendar approved; Commissioner Britton appointed vice chair. No policy changes resulted from these procedural items.
Quotes: City staff advised that "it is our general policy that we advise any commissioners or council members to abstain from approving minutes if they did not attend the meeting."
