City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: March 19, 2025 Title: City Council Consideration of Appointments to City of Live Oak Planning Commission Contact Information: Laura Stewart, Associate Planner Location: Citywide 14

Background: The City of Live Oak Planning Commission is comprised of seven members. Six members are appointed by the City Council and one member is appointed by the Sutter County Planning Commission, with approval by the Sutter County Board of Supervisors and the Live Oak City Council. Live Oak Municipal Code Section 2.12.020(A) states, in part, "The planning commission shall consist of seven members appointed by the mayor with the consent of the City Council." Section 2.12.020 (C) states the city will post a notice of possible vacancy to allow the incumbent and other citizens to be considered for appointment or reappointment. The City of Live Oak Planning Commissioners each serve staggered, four- year terms. The terms of Commissioners Bernie Didario and Michelle Serpa expired on January 31, 2025, creating two vacancies for terms expiring on January 31, 2029, and Commissioner Aarondeep Pamma resigned from his position on the Live Oak Planning Commission, creating one vacancy for the remainder of his term, expiring January 31, 2027. The City of Live Oak published vacancy notices on November 22, 2024, December 3, 2024, and February 10, 2025, and received a total of nine applications in response. During the February 5, 2025 City Council meeting, Commissioner Michelle Serpa was reappointed to a four-year term expiring on January 31, 2029. Therefore, the City currently has one vacancy for a four-year term expiring on January 31, 2029, and one vacancy for a two-year term expiring on January 31, 2027. Current Term Expires Commissioner January 31, 2029 Michelle Serpa January 31, 2029 (VACANT) January 31, 2027 (VACANT) January 31, 2027 Jerry Stewart January 31, 2028 Matt Chapman January 31, 2028 Mike Tuman Each Calendar Year (Sutter County Appointee TBD) Analysis: A technical reading of the code allows the Mayor to make appointments, with Council then voting on whether or not to confirm each appointment. If the City Council fails to approve the Mayor's appointments, the Council will then consider another appointment by the Mayor, followed by a Council vote. All current applicants have been informed the Mayor and City Council will consider appointments at this meeting. The Mayor will make known his appointments at this Council Meeting. Fiscal Impacts: None. Recommendation: Consider the applications received for the two remaining Live Oak Planning Commission vacancies. 15
