CITY OF PALO ALTO OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
October 8, 2013
The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
Boards and Commssions Applications Revisions
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Council Member XXXXX moved, seconded by Council Member
XXXXXX to recommend the City Council approve the revised Boards and Commissions
Applications.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On April 9, 2013 Staff brought a revised Boards and Commissions Recruitment Program to the
Policy and Services Committee. At that time a subcommittee consisting of Council Members
Holman and Price was established to review the applications used in recruitment for Boards
and Commissions and bring those revisions back to the Committee.
DISCUSSION
The revised applications are attached. We have also attached the current versions for
comparison. Beginning in 2014 we plan to use fully electronic applications, so the format may
need to change depending on the program or process we use to make them electronic.
Significant changes include:
Information on the front of each application with pertinent information for applicants.
o The Storm Drain Oversight Committee is incomplete. We did not have a place to
pull the information from and relevant Staff is out of the office until mid-
October. We will update this information prior to release
Links are provided in various places on the applications allowing applicants to opt-in for
future recruitment notices, review commission relevant documents, and review
applicable codes.
Applicants for the Architectural Review Board and the Historic Resources Board are
asked to provide samples of work they find to be good examples.
All applications request the applicants indicate their level of familiarity with applicable
documents.
Our goal is to roll out the new applications, in a fully electronic format, at the beginning of the
2014 when we roll out the new Boards and Commissions Recruitment Program.

official on the Internet without first obtaining the written permission of that individual. (b) No person shall knowingly post the home address or telephone number of any elected or appointed official, or of
the official's residing spouse or child, on the Internet knowing that person is an elected or appointed official and
intending to cause imminent great bodily harm that is likely to occur or threatening to cause imminent great bodily
harm to that individual. A violation of this subdivision

transfer the appointed or elected official's home address or telephone number to any other person, business, or
association through any other medium.
(iii) Clause (ii) shall not be deemed to prohibit a telephone corporation, as defined in Section 234 of the Public

necessary in the event of an emergency, or to collect a debt owed by the elected or appointed official to the telephone
corporation or its affiliate.
(E) For purposes of this paragraph, "publicly post" or "publicly display" means to intentionally communicate or
otherwise make available to the general public. (2) An official whose home address or telephone number is made public as a result of a violation of paragraph (1)

(3) An elected or appointed official may designate in writing the official's employer, a related governmental entity, or
any voluntary professional association of similar officials to act, on behalf of that official, as that official's agent with
regard to making a written demand pursuant to this section. A written demand made by an agent pursuant to this
paragraph shall include a statement describing a threat or fear for the safety of that official or of any person residing at the official's home address.
(d) (1) No person, business, or association shall solicit, sell, or trade on the Internet the home address or telephone
number of an elected or appointed official with the intent to cause imminent great bodily harm to the official or to any
person residing at the official's home address.
(2) Notwithstanding any other law, an official whose home address or telephone number is solicited, sold, or traded in violation of paragraph (1) may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction. If a jury or court finds that a
violation has occurred, it shall award damages to that official in an amount up to a maximum of three times the actual
damages but in no case less than four
thousand dollars ($4,000).
(e) An interactive computer service or access software provider, as defined in Section 230(f) of Title 47 of the United States Code, shall not be liable under this section unless the service or provider intends to abet or cause imminent

thousand dollars ($4,000).
