SUMMARY
The annual recruitment for City commissions was conducted from May 14, 2024, to August 2, 2024. This year, recruitment for the Community Services Commission and Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force (KHCGTF) was not conducted as the Council is currently evaluating the membership size of both groups. There were five vacancies: Library Commission (2); Personnel Commission (2); and Planning Commission (1). A total of twenty-six applications were received by the submission deadline, with twenty-four applicants qualifying for consideration. Following a process for evaluating requests for reappointment, reviewing attendance records and overall performance of eligible members of the City’s commissions and KHCGTF, the Council recommended advancing ten requests for reappointment as presented in Table 1. Certain members’ requests were recommended to continue contingent on completion of required trainings by September 11, 2024, and compliance with the attendance policy within the next six months. Following a pre-screening process and twelve interviews on August 27, 2024, the Council selected six applicants for service on the Library Commission, Personnel Commission and Planning Commission. The resolution (Attachment II) confirming the appointment and reappointment of members contains the names by meeting body.
