CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: LaVonne M. Harkless, City Clerk
DATE: June 14, 1999
SUBJECT: RESIGNATION OF ROYA FOULADI FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION
a. Accept the resignation of Roya Fouladi, Arts Commissioner, effective immediately (term
expires June 30, 2001);
b. Waive noticing and appointment requirements pertaining to unscheduled vacancies as
• outlined in City Council Policy A -2;
C. Increase the number of vacancies to be filled on June 28, 1999 by one member; and
d. Direct the City Clerk to incorporate the appointment of this vacancy with the
appointments to be made on June 28, 1999 to fill the scheduled vacancies (terms which
expire on June 30, 2003).
BACKGROUND
Roya Fouladi, Arts Commissioner, submitted her resignation to the City Council and the Arts
Commission on June 10, 1999 to be effective immediately. Ms. Fouladi was appointed to the
Arts Commission on June 28, 1993 and reappointed to a second term on June 23, 1997, which
was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2001. Due to this resignation, it is necessary for the Council
to appoint a new member to the Arts Commission to complete the balance of Ms. Fouladi's
unexpired term.
Based on the timing of Ms. Fouladi's resignation, it is my recommendation that the procedures
for filling the unscheduled vacancy be waived and that the City Clerk be directed to incorporate
the appointment for this unscheduled vacancy with the appointments to fill the scheduled
vacancies on June 28, 1999.

If the Council approves the ad hoc appointments committee's recommendation to reduce the
number of members on the Arts Commission from nine members to seven members, there will
be two vacancies to fill on June 28, 1999 (one term ending June 30, 2001 and one term ending
June 30, 2003). If the recommendation is not approved and the number of members on the Arts
Commission remains at nine, there will be four vacancies to fill (one term ending June 30, 2001
and three terms ending June 30, 2003).

Dear Members of Council:

C� 7 tTORT BEACH
It has been an honor to serve the City as an Arts Commissioner for the past five years.
In the coming fall, my husband and I will be moving so that he can complete his architecture
degree. Since the fiscal year is ending this month, I think it wise to tender my resignation at
this time, so a new Arts Commissioner can be appointed in a timely fashion.
The recent formation of the Newport Arts Foundation provides Newport Beach with a
• great opportunity for growth. The future of the Arts Commission will require able
leadership, therefore I hope that all the new Commissioners you choose will be energetic,
art- minded, and able to contribute their time and ideas to the Commission.
