Brown, City Clerk - 949-644-3005, (brown@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Leilani I. Brown, City Clerk TITLE: Resolution No. 2023-36: Confirmation of Nominations to the Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee ABSTRACT: A total of three seats on the Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee (Committee) will be available for appointment by the City Council after June 30, 2023. Two of the seats are scheduled vacancies with members reaching their maximum term limits, and the third seat is an unscheduled vacancy due to a resignation. City Council Policy A-2 (Boards, Commissions and Committees) states that it is the intent of the City Council that at least two separate individuals be considered for each vacancy; however, there is an insufficient number of applicants to nominate to create a pool of at least two individuals per vacancy unless the City Council considers the two existing members of the Committee who have reached their maximum term limits. Both of the members who have reached their maximum term limits have requested to continue to serve on the Committee. Additionally, the Ad Hoc Appointments Committee recommends that the City Council confirm the nominations of both members for an additional term, which the City Council may do via the adoption of a resolution. All vacancies were noticed according to the Maddy Act and City Council Policy A-2. RECOMMENDATIONS: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-36, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Waiving the Term Limits Established by Resolution Nos. 2012-115, 2021-11, and City Council Policy A-2, Boards, Commissions and Committees; and c) Confirm the nominations of the following applicants to fill the three available Committee seats, each with terms scheduled to expire June 30, 2027: Lawrence (Tom) Houston Craig Hudson Steve Patterson Spencer Pirdy George Robertson, and John Wadsworth. 7-1 Resolution No. 2023-36: Confirmation of Nominations to the Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee June 13, 2023 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The purpose of the Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee is to advise and make recommendations to the City Council on policies, projects and programs that support and strengthen existing regulations to protect water quality and habitat in the bay and ocean. The Committee is comprised of seven members appointed by the City Council and two non -voting Council Members appointed by the Mayor, subject to confirmation by the City Council. The seven members appointed by the City Council serve a four-year term with a limit of two consecutive terms. The two non -voting Council Members serve a one-year term. The Committee is subject to the open meeting laws of the Ralph M. Brown Act. The three seats on the Committee that are scheduled for vacancy on June 30, 2023, are comprised of two scheduled vacancies due to members reaching their maximum term limit and one unscheduled vacancy due to a member resigning from the Committee. The two Committee members who have reached their maximum term limits are Lawrence (Tom) Houston and George Robertson. Both members were originally appointed to the Committee on January 22, 2013, and reached their term limits on January 22, 2021. Due to an insufficient number of applicants, on February 23, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-11 which, in part, waived term limits and extended their terms to June 30, 2023. Both members could continue to serve on the Committee if the City Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment A), which further waives term limits on the Committee. Both members have requested to continue to serve on the Committee. The unscheduled vacancy on the Committee is due to the resignation of Louis Denger who resigned in March 2023. His term was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2023. Pursuant to City Council Policy A-2, the City Council may appoint an individual to fill the unscheduled vacancy through the remainder of the existing term, June 30, 2023, and additionally, the following four-year term commencing June 30, 2023, and expiring June 30, 2027, because the vacancy occurred within six months of the end of the existing term. On Friday, March 31, 2023, the City Clerk posted the Notice of Vacancies in the City Clerk's Office and on the City Hall bulletin board, placed the Notice of Vacancies on the City's website, and on Saturday, April 8, 2023, the City Clerk published the Notice of Vacancies in the Daily Pilot. The deadline to submit applications was Wednesday, May 10, 2023. Pursuant to City Council Policy A-2, Mayor Noah Blom established a Council Ad Hoc Appointments Committee (Appointments Committee) comprised of himself, Mayor Pro Tern Will O'Neill, and Council Member Lauren Kleiman who were charged with reviewing the applications and making recommendations to the full City Council. At the conclusion of the application period, the Appointments Committee reviewed the applications and recommends that Lawrence (Tom) Houston, Craig Hudson, Steve Patterson, Spencer Pirdy, George Robertson, and John Wadsworth be nominated for the seats on the Committee. 7-2 Resolution No. 2023-36: Confirmation of Nominations to the Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee June 13, 2023 Page 3 Appointments to the Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee will take place at the June 27, 2023 City Council meeting. Copies of the applications are attached hereto as Attachment B. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. 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.
