Jan. 26, 2021 Item #10 Page 1 of 16
The Planning Commission, as defined in Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.24.020, consists of
seven members, and of three ex officio members who are the city engineer, city attorney and
city planner.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.15.050(2), which covers the general functions, powers, and
duties of boards and commissions, 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.”
According to City Council Resolution No. 2018-178, nominees to these scheduled vacancies on
the Planning Commission shall be appointed by the council members for District 2 and District 4
with the approval of the City Council.
Other members of the Planning Commission are:
Commission member District
Alicia Lafferty 1
Carolyn Luna 2
Roy Meenes 3
Peter Merz 4
Joseph Stine 4
Members of the Planning Commission are subject to the provisions of the California Political
Reform Act and must file statements of economic interest each year, and complete two hours
of ethics training every two years.
The Maddy Act, California Government Code Sections 54970-54974, 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 that will expire in the next
calendar year. The name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term’s
expiration date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk’s Office
accepts applications for any upcoming vacancies. These applications are available on the city’s
website and in the City Clerk’s Office.
Fiscal Analysis
This action has no financial impact.
Next Steps
Following the appointment of two members to the Planning Commission, the City Clerk’s Office
will update the commission roster and coordinate the oaths of office and the filing of the
appointees’ statements of economic interest and ethics training certificates.

Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to
cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect

Application for Appointment to Planning Commission
Dear Mayor Hall & City Council:
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for William ("Bill")
Kamenjarin in his application for appointment to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Kamenjarin has been an outstanding member of the North County legal
community for decades. He has distinguished himself though exemplary
dedication to public service in a variety of leadership roles. He has been President
of the 900 member North County Bar Association, chair on the Association's
Alternative Dispute Resolution Section, and a member of the executive committee
of the Lopardo Chapter of the American Inns of Court, an elite professional
organization of local judges and attorneys.
I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Bill for more than
twenty-five years. He can be counted on for clear-headed, intelligent advice on
persona] and professional matters. Bill is my "go to" resource when I need an
astute, independent opinion in resolving issues without easy answers. He has an
amazing ability to cut through sometimes conflicting principles and considerations
to help me make difficult decisions in challenging situations.
Moreover~ I have personally witnessed how Bill works well as a member of
an organizational team. He is a superb listener during in-person as well as Zoom
virtual meetings. He is well-prepared when the circumstances warrant making a
"tough call" by taking the time to thoughtfully look at all relevant sides of a
controversy. He collaborates to build consensus among colleagues where possible.
When consensus is not possible, he disagrees with decency while showing respect
to opposing views.
Bill's professional and interpersonal skills make him unusually well-suited
to participate in the quasi-judicial hearings of the Planning Commission. As a
Jan. 26, 2021 Item #10 Page 9 of 16
seasoned arbitrator, he has had decades of experience examining evidence and
applying facts to the applicable legal standards to arrive a fair, thoughtful decision.
This experience would be put to good use in examining staff reports, considering
oral statements, and making well-considered findings as a planning commissioner.
For these reasons, I am confident that Bill would work exceptionally well
with colleagues on the Planning Commission and add significant value to the
deliberative process used in making decisions on land use permit applications.

Dear Mayor Hall & City Council:

Kamenjarin in his application for appointment to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Kamenjarin has been an outstanding member of the North County legal
community for decades. He has distinguished himself though exemplary
dedication to public service in a variety of leadership roles. He has been President
of the 900 member North County Bar Association, chair on the Association's
Alternative Dispute Resolution Section, and a member of the executive committee
of the Lopardo Chapter of the American Inns of Court, an elite professional
organization of local judges and attorneys.
I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Bill for more than
twenty-five years. He can be counted on for clear-headed, intelligent advice on
personal and professional matters. Bill is my "go to" resource when I need an
astute, independent opinion in resolving issues without easy answers. He has an
amazing ability to cut through sometimes conflicting principles and considerations
to help me make difficult decisions in challenging situations.
· Moreover, I have personally witnessed how Bill works well as a member of
an organizational team. He is a superb listener during in-person as well as Zoom
virtual meetings. He is well-prepared when the circumstances warrant making a
"tough call" by taking the time to thoughtfully look at all relevant sides of a
controversy. He collaborates to build consensus among colleagues where possible.
When consensus is not possible, he disagrees with decency while showing respect
to opposing views.
Bill's professional and interpersonal skills make him unusually well-suited
to participate in the quasi-judicial hearings of the Planning Commission. As a
seasoned arbitrator, he has had decades of experience examining evidence and
applying facts to the applicable legal standards to arrive a fair, thoughtful decision.
This experience would be put to good use in examining staff reports, considering
oral statements, and making well-considered findings as a planning commissioner.
For these reasons, I am confident that Bill would work exceptionally well
with colleagues on the Planning Commission and add significant value to the
deliberative process used in making decisions on land use permit applications.
