FROM: Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Prepared By: Kevin Christian, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: ADVISORY BODY APPOINTMENT FOR UNSCHEDULED VACANCY
RECOMMENDATION
Confirm the appointment of Anni Wang to the Investment Oversight Committee as
recommended by the Council Liaison Subcommittee.
DISCUSSION
Annual appointments to the various City Advisory Body Committees were made at the
March 16, 2021, City Council meeting. The process for those appointments included
recruitment by the City Clerk’s office, interviews and recommendations by the various
Council sub-committees, and final confirmation of recommendations by the full Council.
Interviews for the Investment Oversight Committee (IOC) were postponed at that time
and the recruitment was held open to garner additional applications.
Two qualified candidates were interviewed via teleconference on May 19, 2021 , by
Council Liaison Subcommittee members, Mayor Harmon and Vice Mayor Stewart. Anni
Wang is being recommended for appointment to a four-year term, ending March 31, 2025.
Policy Context
The IOC was formed in 1996 when the City created its first Investment Management Plan.
Membership and duties are established in that document. In 2013 City Council modified
the IOC membership to include one citizen committee member and directed that, “The
member of the public shall be appointed by the City Council in accordance with the City’s
process for appointing advisory body members.”
The Advisory Body Handbook, last adopted by City Council in February 2018, outlines
the recruitment procedures, membership requirements, and term limits for all advisory
bodies. Additionally, the City Council Policies and Procedures Manual, last updated April
2021, describes the “Appointment Procedure” and “Process” for Advisory Body
appointments. Recruitment and appointment recommendations were performed in
conformance with all recruitment procedures, processes, and bylaws found in these
resources.

Item 6d
California Government Code Section 54972, Local Appointments List (Maddy Act)
requires that on or before December 31st of each year, each legislative body shall prepare
an appointments list for their boards, commissions, and committees whose members
serve at the pleasure of the legislative body. This obligation was met and is on -going.
Public Engagement
Notices that the City was accepting applications for City Advisory Bodies were placed in
The New Times, on the City’s website and “e-notification” service, listed in the annual
Local Appointments List (Maddy Act Notice – GC 54972) on the City Website and City
Information kiosk, and distributed via City social media outlets, in November 2020 for the
annual recruitment. As noted in the March 16, 2021, staff report for the 2021
Appointments to City Advisory Bodies, recruitment for the IOC remained open with the
established posting on the City Website and the City job posting service.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in
this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines
Sec. 15378.
