Page 2
Pursuant to the Maddy Act and City Council Policy A-2 (Board, Commission and
Committee Appointments), the City Clerk prepared and posted an Unscheduled Vacancy
Notice on November 27, 2019, in the City Clerk's Office, at the Central Library, on the
bulletin board in the City Council Chambers, and on the City's webpage, and published
the Notice in the Daily Pilot on December 4, 2019. As provided in the Notice, applications
were accepted by the City Clerk's Office until the position was filled.
Pursuant to City Council Policy A-2, the City Clerk is forwarding all qualified applications
to the City Council for consideration. Sharon Wood currently sits on the Civil Service
Board and it would be up to the City Council relative to whether she may serve on more
than one Board, Commission or Committee if appointed to the VNB Executive Committee.
Copies of the applications are attached hereto as Attachment A.
Appointment Process
Pursuant to Council Policy A-2, appointment to the VNB, Inc. Executive Committee will
take place in the following manner:
A. The City Council will vote on the appointment simultaneously. The voting will be by
paper ballot and the City Clerk will tabulate and announce the results, including the
vote tally.
B. Each member of the City Council will cast one vote on the paper ballot. In order to be
appointed, the nominee must receive at least four votes.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
One of my areas of responsibility as Assistant City Manager was economic development, and I had frequent
interaction with the Conference and Visitors' Bureau, as Visit Newport Beach was known during my tenure.
Among the projects I worked on with them was the creation of the TBID. I understand how the City's TOT helps
to fund VNB's operations and the City Council's interest in having some oversight of the use of these public
funds. In addition to my service on the Civil Service Board, I had experience as a member of several
intergovernmental boards and committees during my career, including the Metro Cities Fire Authority and SCAG
Planning Directors' Committee, both of which I chaired. I believe that I can be an effective City Council
representative on the Executive Committee, and would love to do more for the community.
I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the
