conduct interviews to fill vacancies on the Planning Commission and Community
Services Commission.

Currently, there is no established policy on the manner in which the appointment
process is conducted. In previous years, the following methods were employed: (1) an
ad hoc committee of two Council Members was established and provided
recommendation to the full City Council, (2) current Commissioners were reappointed
without soliciting applications, and (3) applications were solicited and interviews were
conducted by the full City Council.

Staff recommends that the City Council solicit applications and conduct interviews.
Upon direction from the City Council, a public notice seeking candidates to serve on
said commissions will be published in the Tustin News, posted on the City's website and
posting boards. The notice will include qualifications, duties, and meeting dates. In
addition, we will notify individuals on the commission interest list, which was established
in January 2013.
Should the City Council direct staff to solicit applications, staff recommends the
following schedule of events:
January 14, 2016 Notice will be published in the Tustin News, posted on
the City's website and boards and will be distributed
to the commission interest list
February 12, 2016 Application deadline (30 days)
February 16, 2016 Interviews before the Regular City Council Meeting
Although terms expire on March 1, 2016, all members of the Commission shall serve
until their respective successors are appointed, pursuant to Tustin City Code Sections
1513 (Planning Commission) and 1553 (Community Services Commission).
