Executive Summary CA Review ~ At the September 25, 2018 Council Meeting, Ordinance No. CS-342 was agopted adding two new positions to the Traffic Safety Commission. Resolution No. 2018-178 established a transition plan for the appointment of new members to the Traffic Safety Commission. The Resolution states that as the terms expire for members of the Traffic Safety Commission, the most recently elected district Council Member or Mayor will nominate the new members. The- term of the newly nominated members will be set to begin in February and expire at the time the nominating Council Member's term expires. At this time, the two new District Council Members from District 1 and District 3 will make the appointment nominations. Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.15.050(2) now 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." The City Clerk's office received applications from the following residents wishing to serve on the Traffic Safety Commission (Exhibit 3): • Brandon Perez • Robert Prosser • Teresa Renteria • Thomas Applegate • Allen Manzano Discussion Government Code Section §54970-54974, known as the Maddy Act, requires that on or before December 31 of each year the legislative body shall prepare a Local Appointments List which contains the appointive terms of Board and Commission members which will expire in the next calendar year.

Barberio, ry:,:,...._fff.~Wf Manager Via: Scott Chadwick, Ci Re: Responses to Questions from Feb. 12 City Council Briefings {city of Carlsbad Special Agenda Item No.'s 1-3-Beach Preservation Committee, Planning Commission, and Traffic Safety Commission Appointments Question: Should an applicant being considered for appointment to a Commission or Committee be disqualified from consideration based on the fact that he/she has a relationship with certain organizations in the city? Answer: No. The city is not aware of any specific information related to any individual applicant and organization that would create a conflict of interest such that the applicant could not fulfill the mandates of serving on a Commission or Committee. Therefore, no current applicant should be generally disqualified from consideration by the City Council. That is not to say that, if appointed to a Commission or Committee, an applicant could have a conflict of interest on specific items and/or issues that may come before the Commission or Committee. If that were to occur, the selected applicant must recuse themselves from participating in those items. To help ensure that no conflict of interest issue arises, all members of Comm1ssions and Committees receive ethics training, are subject to the California Political Reform Act and must file a Statement of Economic Interests annually. Because the city and the City Coun.cil may not have all relevant information to judge an applicant's potential conflicts of interest, at the meeting, City Council Members are free to ask any applicant whether or not he/she is aware of any information that would pose a conflict of · interest if he/she were selected to serve on a Commission or Committee. ' City Manager's Office . City Hall 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 760-434-2820 t Tammy McMinn From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Briana Corso <brianacorso@yahoo.com> Wednesday, February 13, 2019 11:27 AM Council Internet Email Attorney; City Clerk; Manager Internet Email 0tr.irYJ #-3 J-}1,:J-)/7 Feedback related to the committee and commission selection hearings Dear Mayor and Councilmembers, I am writing to you today to provide you feedback related to the Committee and Commission selection hearings that took place yesterday, February 12, 2019. As the elected and paid leaders of a vibrant, healthy community, it is incumbent upon you to develop transparent methods to select those whom you appoint to committees, commissions, and boards. I found the application and selection process to be ill conceived and poorly administered. I put myself in your shoes and I struggle to see how that process gave you the information that you needed to make an informed decision. I am writing this letter in good faith and in the hope that the selection process can be improved. You need to be the protagonists of the selection process. I have served on multiple selection panels related to government functions and employment and the first step is to determine what you are looking for in applicants and set out a selection process that will capture them. Create a consistent scoring rubric and share the basics of the rubric with the applicants. This is also necessary to avoid impartiality and the appearance of impartiality. If none ofthe applicants knows on what they are being judged, there is no way to be assured that the process is fair or that you really are getting the best candidates. For example, some of the Planning Commission applicants spoke with broad brush strokes about policy, some spoke of personal experience, some spoke of prior political experience, but nobody spoke to everything. If the applicants did not cover the same ground, the point of the hearing is lost. You were left comparing apples to oranges and I was left thinking that I would not want to cast such an important vote for my community on such low-quality, inconsistent information. You need to take control of the process and get information from the applicants that you know to be relevant instead of waiting for applicants to produce information that might be relevant. My suggestion would be that you develop a blind application and rank the applicants. Then, call in the top applicants for a structured interview (or hearing) that drills down on the attributes that you think are important and score them accordingly. I thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I hope you will reflect upon my feedback and consider my recommendations. I wish you well. Kind regards, Briana Corso 1 Tammy McMinn From: Sent: To: Subject: Dear Ms. McMinn, Allen Manzano <almanzano@sbcglobal.net> Wednesday, February 13, 2019 9:45 AM Tammy McMinn Re: Planning Commission Application "---)t.orY) # 3 9--}J,9/15 Thank you for this email. I was already aware that I was not selected having been present at the council meeting to which I was invited and as the appointments were made. I signed in and spoke and I note that your office was present and monitored the process. It became clear that the decisions had in effect already been made before the event and that persons appointed did not have to be present at the meeting. The latter is something that was not made known to applicants and should be. Unless there is useful purpose in conducting what turns out to be an unnecessary open vetting, then the actual decision process needs to be described accurately and publicly announced. I would appreciate your providing a copy of this reply to the City Council members for their consideration. If you are unable to do so within your scope of duties I would appreciate your so notifying me. I noted that certain questions on the form are apparently of a pass/go nature for some council members but not others. Nothing stated by the Council members demonstrated that a uniform process had been undertaken before hand such as a review and comparison of all applicants submitted data or use of any qualifying or disqualifying standards applied for such a process. It may be useful in the future to announce desirable qualifications for each commission to guide those wishing to serve. I found it odd that all candidates were asked by the Mayor to react to a posted adage in the Chamber which was as offensive and foolish as it was empty of logic. it seemed to suggest that the public voice was less valid than whatever was assumed to be right in Council decisions which any review of its past actions would make it clearly absurd as a standard. I wish to remain on the lists as submitted in the event my service are needed. I would appreciate your notifying me of vacancies to any of the commissions checked on my application. Thank you for your services, Allen J. Manzano.
