BOARD OF DIRECTORS
(Interim Deputy City Clerk Carol Cowley)
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council appoint from among its members, a Delegate to replace Councilmember Fangary as the Delegate to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments Board of Directors.
Body
Background:
Councilmember Fangary was appointed as City Council Delegate to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) on January 9, 2018 by Resolution No. 18-7112 and has served in such capacity since that time. Councilmember Fangary, at the April 23, 2019 City Council Meeting, expressed a desire to minimize his involvement as the Delegate, and asked if any Councilmembers would be interested in replacing him on the SBCCOG Board.
The SBCCOG is a joint powers authority of 16 cities in Los Angeles County that provides a forum for local governments to work collaboratively on programs and studies directed at improving the environment, preserving natural resources, advocating for regional efforts to expand transportation alternatives, and increasing awareness for effective policies for a sustainable community and economic development.
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments holds meetings on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm at the South Bay Environmental Services Center located at 20285 South Western Avenue, Suite 100 in Torrance. The Steering Committee serves as the executive committee of SBCCOG. Meetings of the Steering Committee are held on the second Monday of each month at noon also at the South Bay Environmental Services Center.
Councilmembers Massey and Duclos both expressed a desire to fulfill Councilmember Fangary’s appointment on the South Bay Cities Council of Governments Board of Directors.
Any delegate/alternate change to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) Board requires the adoption of a resolution, which would be presented as a consent calendar item at the next meeting.
