SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDERATION OF CITY-AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS BY MAYOR ROBLES (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
This item is on the agenda at the request of Mayor Robles. The purpose of this report is for Mayor Robles with the concurrence of the City Council to consider council assignments to any City-Affiliated Organization.
Mayor Robles and City Council will discuss and appoint a representative to the Southern California Cities Consortium Joint Powers Authority (SCCCJPA).
Furthermore, on July 27, 2015 Mayor Robles was appointed to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) as alternate (alt) number two. The City Clerk’s office has confirmed that a second alt is not required by SBCCOG; therefore, no action is required, eliminating the alt number two position. Which concurrently removes Mayor Robles’ appointment to the SBCCOG. This is for informational purposes only.
II. RECOMMENDATION

CONSIDER appointment of a city council member as a delegate and another member as the alternate to the Southern California Cities Consortium Joint Powers Authority.
REAFFIRM, RE-DESIGNATE and/or DESIGNATE delegates and alternates to the City-Affiliated Organizations;
