SUMMARY
Following the July 27, 2021 City Commission interviews, the Council established an alternate list comprising eligible applicants who were not selected to fill vacancies because there were not enough seats to appoint them. The alternate list comprises four Hayward residents who were nominated for specific commissions as follows: Mr. George Syrop and Ms. Hazle De Leon (Community Services Commission); Ms. Shareen Purcell (Library Commission); and Ms. Arti Garg (Planning Commission). The alternate list will be valid for one year and will expire at the beginning of the new recruitment process. The Council, during its September 21, 2021 Council meeting, confirmed the list of alternates by commission.
On December 1 2021, Ms. Arzo Mehdavi, submitted a letter of resignation, which created an unexpected vacancy on the Community Services Commission.
Mr. George Syrop, who is a Community Services Commission alternate, was contacted to confirm his eligibility status and his interest for serving on the Community Services Commission. If appointed to the Community Services Commission, Mr. George Syrop’s term would be effective December 16, 2021, and would end on September 30, 2023.
