RECOMMENDATION
As recommended by the Council Liaison Subcommittees, make appointments to the City
of San Luis Obispo's (City) advisory bodies as set forth below and continue to recruit for
any unfilled vacant positions.
DISCUSSION
The City has a long history of involving its residents in the business of City government.
Holding a position on an advisory body provides an opportunity for interested residents
to participate in the governing of their community under guidelines and procedures
established by Council. The City recruits annually to fill scheduled vacancies, making new
appointments each March to fill terms that typically commence on April 1st of each year.
Recruitment for unscheduled vacancies is done as needed but is consolidated with the
annual recruitment whenever possible.
This year the City recruited to fill 31 scheduled and unscheduled citizen Advisory Body
positions. The recruitment was conducted between November 24, 2021 and January 16,
2022. A total of 46 qualified applications were received. Council Liaison Subcommittees
reviewed applications and conducted interviews during the months of January and
February 2022. The following recommendations will fill 24 of these vacancies.
Recruitment for the remaining vacancies continues.
No vacancies currently exist on the Area Agency on Aging, the Citizen Transportation
Committee, the Housing Authority Board, the Investment Oversight Committee, or the
Tourism Business Improvement District Board. Therefore, no recruitment was held for
these Advisory Bodies.

Policy Context
The Advisory Body Handbook, last adopted by City Council in September 2021, outlines
the recruitment procedures, membership requirements, and term limits. Also contained in
the Advisory Body Handbook are the bylaws for all advisory bodies, some of which include
additional membership requirements. Additionally, the City Council Policies and
Procedures Manual, last adopted in 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.
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 the above listed 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.
CONCURRENCE
As presented in the recommendations, the various City Council sub-committees for the
Advisory Bodies are in concurrence with the stated recommendations along with the City
Clerk’s office that coordinated and organized the process.
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.

ALTERNATIVES
Council could recommend changes to the recommended appointments or direct
staff to re-open recruitment for additional candidates. This action is not
recommended as the recruitment effort has been quite extensive and the various Council
sub-committee members are in concurrence with the stated recommendation.
