Executive Summary

October 2016 to fill the expired term of Commissioner Dourson, leaving a scheduled vacancy
with a term ending in July 2020. Commissioner Gocan has asked to be reappointed.
Commissioner Jonnie Johnson was initially appointed in June 2017 to fill the unexpired term of
Commissioner Fox, leaving an expired term ending in July 2020. Commissioner Johnson is not

The City Clerk's Office received six applications, and in keeping with City Council Policy No. 88,

Mobility Commission to interview with the full City Council (Exhibit 3):

• Monica "Mona" Gocan — District 1 (requesting reappointment)
Discussion
The Maddy Act (California Government Code Section 54970 et seq.) requires that on or before
December 31 of each year the legislative body shall prepare a Local Appointments List that
contains the appointive terms of Board and Commission members expiring in the next calendar
year. The name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term expiration
date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk's Office accepts
applications (available on the city's website and in the City Clerk's Office) for any upcoming
vacancies.
CMC Section 2.15.050(2) states, "Although each member of the City Council elected by a district
shall use his or her best efforts to appoint individuals residing in that district to these
commissions, members of the City Council may appoint individuals not residing in their districts
in their discretion in order to assure that the most interested and qualified individuals serve on
the commissions."
July 28, 2020 Item #15 Page 1 of 13
According to City Council Resolution No. 2018-178, these Traffic & Mobility Commission
scheduled vacancies shall be appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council.

seven members. The other members of the Traffic & Mobility Commission are:
• Bill Fowler — District 2
• Chuck Hunter — District 2
• Steve Linke — District 4
• Peter Penseyres — District 1
• Brandon Perez — District 2
Members of the Traffic & Mobility Commission are subject to the provisions of the California
Political Reform Act and must file a Statement of Economic Interest.
Fiscal Analysis
None.
Next Steps
The City Clerk's Office will update the commission roster and coordinate the oath of office and
the filing of the appointee's statement of economic interest and ethics training certificate.

Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to
