PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to request the Council consider making one appointment to an unexpired term on the Senior Citizen Board ending June 1, 2006.

BACKGROUND

The Senior Citizen Board was established by Burbank Municipal Code Section 2-415 and consists of seven members.  All Committee members are appointed to four-year terms.  Currently, there is one vacancy of an unexpired term ending June 1, 2006. On May 21, 2004, the City Clerk's Office began advertising and accepting applications for the unexpired term. This vacancy was advertised in the local newspapers, posted on the City Website and notices were run on the Channel 6 scroll in order to obtain qualified candidates. As of the established deadline of Friday, June 4, 2004 at 5:00 p.m., six applications have been received from: Donna S. Worley; Libby Nardo; William B. Smith; John Milton Wolcott; Douglas Cartwright Halter; and, Jenice D. McGlynn. Staff also included two applications from Francine Lockett and Robert C. Jones which had been previously submitted for the vacancies created by the June 1, 2004 term expirations. These applications are kept for a period of one year for consideration for any vacancies that may occur. 

It should be noted that all Board, Commission and Committee members serve without compensation from the City and no person shall serve on more than one Board, Commission, or Committee (established by the Burbank Municipal Code) at the same time. In addition, any person appointed to be a member of a Board, Commission or Committee must be an elector of, and actually reside in, the City of Burbank.

Following is the random order of the applicants in which the Council will be asked to vote:

1. Francine Lockett

2. Robert C. Jones

3. William B. Smith

4. Jenice D. McGlynn

5. Libby Nardo

6. John Milton Wolcott

7. Donna S. Worley

8. Douglas Cartwright Halter

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council consider making one appointment to the Senior Citizen Board to fill one unexpired term ending June 1, 2006.

Respectfully submitted,

Margarita Campos, City Clerk
