RECOMMENDED ACTION
Redevelopment Agency to appoint 13 Newhall Redevelopment Committee members.
Redevelopment Agency to designate in random selection members for two-year and four-year
terms.
BACKGROUND
On May 11, 2004, the Redevelopment Agency voted to establish Committee Norms for the
Newhall Redevelopment Committee. Within these norms the Agency established four-year terms
with no term limits for the Newhall Redevelopment Committee commencing in January 2005. At
the same time, the Agency made the decision to re-evaluate all members of the committee, and
open the process for new member consideration.
Fifteen of the current sixteen Newhall Redevelopment Committee members submitted their
names for re -appointment to the Committee. In addition, in the open process for new member
consideration, four new applications for appointment were received.
The Redevelopment Agency members will evaluate the current members based on answers to
questionnaire submitted by the committee members. The criteria for re -appointment is based on
length of time served on the Committee, sub -committee involvement and vision for the
redevelopment project area.
New applicants for the Committee submitted the standard application form with three letters of
A PPROVED
recommendation attached. The criteria for appointment is based on information in this
application which includes the applicant's involvement in the community and their vision for the
project area.
On February 8, 2005, the Redevelopment Agency voted to limit the number of Redevelopment
Committee members to 13. The Agency also voted to direct the Redevelopment Sub -Committee
to designate a slate of 13 nominees for the Agency members to vote on at the February 22, 2005
meeting. The Sub -Committee has met with staff and with recommendations from
Redevelopment Agency members has prepared a slate of candidates for Agency approval.
As established by the Committee Norrns, every two years the Redevelopment Agency will
re-evaluate one half of the then current Redevelopment Committee and, at the same time, open
the process for new member consideration. At the February 22, 2005 meeting a lottery will
establish which of the newly designated committee members will be serving two-year or
four-year terms. This one time random designation of two or four year terms is necessary to
install staggered terms for the Committee members insuring continuity within the Committee
structure.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT
