Analysis:
Title 2, California Code of Regulations Section 18705.5 Section (c) allows a public official to name themselves to paid positions on government boards. In Signal Hill, appointments to the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG), Los Angeles County Vector Control District, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) are subject to this regulation. The information on these meetings, stipends paid, and current representation are noted in Attachment A; The listing of all organizations with the current delegates and alternates is also included.
The positions of board members to the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, which also pay stipends for attendance, are not subject to Title 2 as these are special districts established by State law. The City Council will review and consider appointments to these various organizations for the ensuing year.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution formally confirming the appointments of delegates and alternates to the various committees and organizations as official representatives of the City.
