Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of September 24, 2019
Title
APPOINTMENT OF COUNCILMEMBER TO SERVE AS
DELEGATE TO THE INDEPENDENT CITIES ASSOCIATION
(City Clerk Elaine Doerfling)
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
The City Clerk recommends that the City Council appoint one of its members to serve as the City’s delegate to the Independent Cities Association (ICA).
Body
Background:
At its September 10, 2019 meeting, the City Council unanimously approved re-establishing the City’s ICA membership. Mayor Armato expressed an interest at that meeting in serving as the City’s delegate. ICA Board meetings are held the second Thursday of each month from 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. and the location varies each month. Mayor Armato’s commitment in serving as delegate would involve missing the October and December Board meeting dates due to City Council Meetings on October 10, 2019 and December 12, 2019. The recommended action this evening is to officially appoint Mayor Armato to represent the City as the ICA delegate.
The 2019 ICA President and Board Installation date is September 26, 2019. Therefore, ICA has requested an official letter from the City of Hermosa Beach indicating the appointment of a City delegate and receipt of membership dues by September 26, 2019.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Governance Element
4.1 Regional Governance. Play an active role in regional agencies to protect and promote the interests of the City.
4.3 Collaboration with adjacent jurisdictions. Maintain strong collaborative relationships with adjacent jurisdictions and work together on projects of mutual interest and concern.
Fiscal Impact:
The annual ICA membership fee for October 1, 2019-September 30, 2020 is $886.86. A request for payment has been processed in order to meet the September 26, 2019 deadline.
