Executive Summary The City Council is being asked to appoint one member to the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee Citizens’ (ACMFC) Advisory Committee, which was established by City of Carlsbad Resolution No. 2005-242, through which coastal agriculture land may be converted from agricultural land uses to urban uses upon the payment of an agricultural conversion mitigation fee. The commission consists of seven members who must be appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, which includes a member of the Planning Commission. Members must be residents of Carlsbad and normally serve four-year terms. Explanation & Analysis Committee Member Sadry Hedayat was appointed to the ACMFC Advisory Committee in September 2022, to fill the expired term of Committee Member Ken Alfrey for a term ending in August 2025. Committee Member Hedayat resigned in March 2023, leaving an unscheduled vacancy for a term ending in August 2025. The City Clerk’s Office received one application from a resident wishing to serve on the ACMFC Advisory Committee. In keeping with City Council Policy No. 88, Mayor Blackburn has recommended the following resident wishing to serve on the ACMFC Advisory Committee to advance in the process and interview with the full City Council: Mayoral recommendation: •Spencer Burrows – District 1 Exhibit 2 contains the application of the applicant moving forward in the interview process. Sept. 26, 2023 Item #7 Page 1 of 5 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, 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. The current members of the ACMFC Advisory Committee are: Commission member District Carolyn Alire 1 Joe Brisbois 4 Jaime Householder 2 Jon Lash 1 Olga Lichten 4 Peter Merz Planning Commissioner Members of the ACMFC Advisory Committee are subject to the provisions of California’s Political Reform Act of 1974 and must file statements of economic interest each year and complete two hours of ethics training every two years. Fiscal Analysis This action has no financial impact. Next Steps Following the appointment of one member to the ACMFC Advisory Committee, the City Clerk’s Office will update the commission roster and coordinate the oath of office and the filing of appointee’s statement of economic interest and ethics training certificate. Environmental Evaluation 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.
