CITY OF PALO ALTO OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
March 14, 2016
The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
Approval for the Consolidation of the Unscheduled Vacancy on the
Utilities Advisory Commission With the Spring 2016 Board and
Commission Recruitment
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council direct Staff to include the recruitment of
the unscheduled vacant term of Garth Hall on the Utilities Advisory
Commission with the Spring 2016 Board and Commission Recruitment.
Discussion
On February 22, 2016, the City Clerk’s Office was notified that Garth Hall
was resigning from the Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) effective May
31, 2016. Commissioner Hall’s term would have expired on May 31, 2017.
The City Clerk’s Office is currently recruiting to fill three scheduled vacancies
on the UAC (Eglash, Foster, and Schwartz) as part of the Spring 2016 Board
and Commission recruitment. These new terms will expire May 31, 2019.
Consolidating the unscheduled vacancy on the UAC with the Spring 2016
recruitment will require less Staff time and advertising costs than conducting
a special recruitment to fill the unscheduled vacancy.
Department Head: Beth Minor, City Clerk
