• <br /> (iii) The City Council shall, during a public meeting, appoint Standing <br /> Committee members by selecting appointees from a roster of persons <br /> offered by individual Council members and applications from candidates. <br /> The City Council shall endeavor to appoint the best qualified persons. <br /> (d) One member of the City Council shall be designated by the Mayor as a liaison for <br /> each Standing Committee. The designated Council liaison may attend meetings of the Standing <br /> Committee to which he or she is assigned, and shall try to do so at least quarterly, but shall not <br /> vote. The Council liaison shall contact each member of the Standing Committee to which he or <br /> she has been assigned at least once annually to determine any problems which may exist and to <br /> receive information for use in Council evaluations of Standing Committee actions and direction. <br /> Section 4. Organization of Standing Committees. The following general rules shall <br /> be applicable to the organization and conducting of business by each Standing Committee: <br /> (a) Each Standing Committee shall establish a time and place for its regular meetings. <br /> Once the Standing Committee has established a time and place for its regular meetings, the <br /> Standing Committee shall request the City Council to approve the time and place of the regular <br /> meeting. The City Clerk shall cause notice of the schedule of regular meetings to be posted on <br /> the bulletin board at Town Hall. The agenda shall be set by the Chairperson, but upon the <br /> request of any Standing Committee member an item shall be placed on the agenda. Agendas of <br /> meetings shall be posted in compliance with the provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act <br /> (commencing with Government Code Section 54950), as hereafter amended. No Standing <br /> Committee meeting shall be considered to have been held unless notice of the time and date of <br /> the meeting shall have been properly available pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act, as hereafter <br /> amended, and unless a quorum shall have been present. Special meetings of a Standing <br /> Committee may only be called by the Standing Committee Chairperson, Mayor or City Manager <br /> and must be called in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act. If a committee has an odd <br /> number of members, a majority of those members shall be considered a quorum. If a committee <br /> has an even number of members, half of those members shall be considered a quorum. <br /> (b) At its first regular meeting in July of each year, each Standing Committee shall <br /> elect, by a simple majority of the members present, from its membership a Chairperson, Vice <br /> Chairperson, Secretary and such other officers as the Standing Committee deems advisable, who <br /> shall not serve for more than two (2) consecutive one (1) year terms. At the July meeting, any <br /> subcommittees deemed advisable by the Standing Committee for specific activities within the <br /> purview of the Standing Committee shall be appointed by the members. At any other meeting an <br /> officer may be replaced. However, at any meeting other than the first regular meeting in July, a <br /> vote of the majority of the Standing Committee is necessary to replace or elect an officer. <br /> (c) Each Standing Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings, which shall include <br /> its determinations, recommendations, the attendance of members and an indication of who <br /> prepared the minutes. The minutes shall be reviewed by the City Manager who, in consultation <br /> with the City Council liaison to the particular committee, shall determine which items need to be <br /> agendized for a City Council meeting. The minutes shall also be public records. <br /> 3 <br />
