wishing to serve on the ACMFC Advisory Committee will advance in the process and interview
with the full City Council:
Exhibit 2 contains the applications of the applicants moving forward in the interview process.
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:

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 two members to the ACMFC Advisory Committee, the City Clerk’s
Office will update the committee roster and coordinate the oaths of office and the filing of the
appointees’ statement of economic interest and ethics training certificates.
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.
