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 was not conducted as the Council is currently evaluating the membership size of both groups. Currently, there are 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. Attachment II provides the final list of applicants and their preference for service. A digital binder containing all qualified applications was made available to the City Council on August 9, 2024, with an additional copy available in the City Clerk’s office upon request. Members of the City Council reviewed and pre-screened all applications and individually communicated their selection to my office by August 21, 2024. Applicants who received three or more points from Council members were invited to interview. Attachment III contains the list of selected applicants and Attachment IV contains the interview schedule.
