CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: October 5, 2010
Subject
Annual report for commissions and committees with terms expiring January 30, 2011.
Recommended Action
Select application deadline date of Wednesday, January 12 and interview dates of Monday and
Tuesday, January 24 and 25, 2011.
Discussion
The Cupertino City Council appoints members to 10 advisory commissions and committees. For
most of these, members serve staggered, four-year terms with a two-term limit. If a person is
appointed to fill an unscheduled vacancy for a term that is less than two years, that partial term is
not counted against the term limit. Recruitment, appointment, and reappointment are governed
by City Council Resolution No. 10-048, and Government Code section 54970. The Teen
Commission is governed by Resolution No. 09-115 and follows a different appointment schedule
and structure.
Vacancies will be announced in October in the local news media, posted at City Hall and the
Library, and included in the Cupertino Scene and the City’s web site. Notices are also mailed to
CERT graduates, Neighborhood Block Leaders, the Chamber of Commerce, service
organizations, and other interested parties. Commissioners who have expired terms and are
eligible for reappointment are notified as well as those with applications on file.
The attached list describes all the commissions and committees, and lists the names of
incumbents whose terms are ending in January 2011. Applicants may apply for up to two
commissions and each applicant is interviewed for his or her preferred commission(s).
