Analysis:
Per Municipal Code 2.64.040, each elementary, high school, and public community college district having facilities within the City of Huntington Beach shall have representatives on the Community Services Commission.
Chapter 2.64.040 states: The City Council shall appoint six members for terms of one-year. Each elementary, high school and public community college district having facilities within the City may recommend to the Council, on or before the third Monday of June of each year, two or more persons, residents of the City of Huntington Beach, to represent their district. One of said persons shall be appointed by the Council for a one-year term which will terminate on June 30 the following year. In the event that any district shall not make such recommendations to the Council by the first day of July, then the Council may appoint some qualified person to a one-year term to represent such school district on the commission (1113-7/65, 1300-3/67, 2383-7/79, 2389-9/79, 3723-12/05, 3983-1/14)
Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD), Fountain Valley School District (FVSD), and Huntington Beach City School District (HBCSD) are recommending the re-appointment of their current representatives as follows: Roy Miller for HBUHSD; Ian Collins for FVSD; and, Bridget Kaub for HBCSD.
The Ocean View School District is recommending one of two individuals to represent their district, either John Briscoe or Stephanie Green.
The Westminster School District has informed staff that they are not making a recommendation this year. The Coast Community College District recommended re-appointing Albert Gasparian. However, Mr. Gasparian has reached his term limit of eight-years and, therefore, must serve an absence of one-year before being reappointed. At this point, the College District has not offered an alternative recommendation.
Per Chapter 2.64, City Council has the option to appoint residents of the City to represent each district should they so choose. Should City Council choose not to appoint the representatives, the Commission would consist of the seven City Council appointees and representatives from HBUHSD, FVSD, OVSD and HBCSD.
