PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to request that the Council consider making one appointment to the Civic Pride Committee for an unexpired term ending June 1, 2005.  The vacancy was created by the resignation of Committee Member Valene Rolon.

BACKGROUND:

On September 10, 2004, the City Clerk�s Office began advertising and accepting applications for the vacancy on the Civic Pride Committee. 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 October 8, 2004 deadline, two applications from Lisa Sue Lonsway and Robert Vincent Idavia have been received.

The purpose of the Civic Pride Committee is to devise and recommend ways in which to promote and project a positive and favorable public image of the City of Burbank through both public and private promotion campaigns and techniques, and to perform such other advisory functions as may be delegated to it by the provision of the Code and other action of the Council.

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.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council consider the applications submitted and make one appointment to the unexpired term on the Civic Pride Committee ending June 1, 2005.

Respectfully submitted,

Margarita Campos, City Clerk
