A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
RELATING TO THE MEMBERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITIES
OF THE TASK FORCE ON COMMITTEES
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach has multiple Boards,
Committees, and Commissions that assist the Council and community in serving the
needs of the Newport Beach Community; and
WHEREAS, these Boards, Committees, and Commissions are invaluable in
encouraging public participation and engagement; and
WHEREAS, several of the existing Council and citizens committees, such as the
Tidelands Management Committee, the Ad Hoc Committee on Harbor Charges, and the
Neighborhood Revitalization Committee have nearly completed their work; and
WHEREAS, other committees' appointment processes, member terms,
chairmanships, and regularity and location of meetings can vary greatly from committee
to committee, causing both public confusion and opportunities for City staff and Council
error in appointment and replacement procedures and more; and
WHEREAS, the Council is desirous of taking a new look at its committees to review
roles, duties, appointment processes, and more.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport
