The City Council has the authority to appoint an Advisory Board to the NBRA BID and
limit membership on the Advisory Board to persons subject to the BID assessment. The
Advisory Board that serves on the NBRA BID is not appointed in the same manner as
other City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The City relies on the Streets and
Highways Code for Business Improvement District advisory board appointments rather
than City Council Policy A-2, Boards, Commissions and Committees.
On July 25, 2017, the City Clerk was informed that Bruno Massuger resigned from his
seat on the Advisory Board. The City Clerk prepared and posted a Notice of Unscheduled
Vacancy on July 27, 2017, in the City Clerk's Office, at the Central Library, on the City's
webpage, and on the bulletin board located in the City Council Chambers; and published
the Notice of Vacancy in the Daily Pilot on July 29, 2017. The City Clerk did not receive
any new applications.
It is the NBRA BID Advisory Board's desire to fill the 11th vacancy on the Board of
Directors for the remaining FY 2017-2018 term, ending June 30, 2018. The NBRA BID
Advisory Board of Directors reviewed the applications on file at its September 27, 2017
meeting and is recommending that the City Council appoint Eunjoo Pluenneke,
representing Balboa Lily's Restaurant, to the Advisory Board of Directors for FY 2017-
2018.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
