October 22, 2018, Meeting – Item 4 EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Action: Appointment to Budget Committee Meeting Date: October 22, 2018 Agenda Item Number: 4 Department: City Manager’s Office Staff Contact: Cas Casados www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-8497 ISSUE STATEMENT This is an action item to appoint a new member to the Budget Committee to complete the unexpired term vacated recently by Emily Fiocco who moved out of the eligible service area. BACKGROUND Each year, City Council makes appointments to boards, committees and commissions. Chapter 2 of the Eugene Code addresses standing committees to the council and the appointment process for each body. For most standing committees created in the code, council is the appointing authority. The annual recruitment for boards, committees and commissions was initiated on January 31, 2018, and concluded March 31, 2018. The recruitment was publicized on the internet, in newspapers, through flyers, at City offices, and at City- and neighborhood-related meetings and events. As with all out-of-cycle recruitments, members of the council were provided with copies of the applications gathered during the annual recruitment earlier in the year. Applicants who received five or more votes to be appointed are automatically placed on the council’s agenda with a draft motion for formal appointment. Alicia Voorhees received enough votes to be included in the draft motion contained within this agenda item summary. RELATED CITY POLICIES The boards, committees and commissions serve as advisory bodies to the City Council in the development of various City policies. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager has no recommendation on this item; the appointments are made by council. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to appoint Alicia Voorhees to the Budget Committee for an unexpired term ending on June 30, 2020.
