SUMMARY
The City Council appoints members to Council Appointed Bodies, which include five Commissions and the Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force (KHCGTF). The City of Hayward runs an annual recruitment process for Commissions and Task Forces, whose members are appointed by the City Council. In 2023, the recruitment process began in May and concluded in August. The Council has expressed a desire to review the roles and responsibilities of each Commission before the 2024 recruitment period to ensure that they are aligned with Council’s priorities for the coming fiscal year. This report provides general information about the Commissions and Task Forces. At the April 16, 2024 work session, staff is seeking feedback from Council on their vision for the role of these bodies and if Council would like to see any amendments to the 2024 recruitment process or any other policies or procedures related to Commissions and Task Forces. Staff also recommends that the Council form an ad hoc committee to further discuss the issues raised in this report and to make recommendations back to the full Council.
