Commissioner Manzano’s term has expired and he is eligible for reappointment, leaving a

members, appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council. This vacancy is in the
at-large category requiring the member to possess expertise in one or more of the following
areas: development, construction, real estate, social services, housing advocacy, planning,

Members of the Housing 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 must prepare a local appointments list which
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
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.
Fiscal Analysis
This action has no financial impact.
Next Steps
Following the appointment of one member to the Housing Commission, 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.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a “project”
within the meaning of the California Environmental 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 physical change in the
environment.
Public Notification and Outreach
This item was publicly noticed in keeping with the Ralph M. Brown Act and it was available for
public viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.
