Agenda Item No. S23
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: LaVonne M. Harkless, City Clerk
SUBJECT: UNSCHEDULED VACANCY ON THE CITY ARTS COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION
By a two- thirds vote of the members present at the meeting, the City Council must first
determine that there is a need to take immediate action and the need for action arose subsequent
to the posting of the agenda. If approved by a two- thirds vote, the Council will need to take
action on the following recommendations:
1) Accept the resignation of Pamela Nestande from the City Arts Commission effective
September 10, 2002 (tern expires June 30, 2005) and declare the position vacant; and
2) Direct the City Clerk to include the filling of this vacancy with the recruitment process
currently in progress to fill the seat recently vacated by Jeff Gould.
BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2002, Jana Barbier, Arts Coordinator, informed the City Clerk of Pamela
Nestande's resignation from the City Arts Commission effective September 10, 2002. Ms.
Nestande has indicated that her official letter of resignation is forthcoming.
The City Clerk's office is currently in the process of accepting applications for the City Arts
Commission as a result of the resignation of Jeff Gould, therefore it makes sense from a timing
point of view to fill both vacancies concurrently. The deadline for submitting applications has
been set for 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 19, 2002, which will allow the committee time to
conduct interviews in order to submit the names of four nominees to the full Council on October
8, 2002. The appointments to fill the vacancies is scheduled for October 22, 2002.
On August 27, 2002 the Mayor appointed Mayor Pro Tem Bromberg and Council Members
Adams and Heffernan to the Ad Hoc Appointments Committee.
