City Council Policy A -2 generally allows an appointee to serve on one Board,
Commission or Committee at one time. This restriction may be waived by a majority
vote of the City Council.
The following members are currently serving on more than one Board, Commission or
Committee:
Council Policy A -2 was previously waived to allow Ralph Rodheim to sit on the Harbor
Commission and the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC); however, he also sits
on the Balboa Village Business Improvement District'.
Thomas Anderson sits on the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and the
Aviation Committee (appointed on February 24, 2009).
Carl Cassidy sits on the Environmental Quality Affairs Committee (EQAC) and the
Water Quality /Coastal Tidelands Committee.
David Salisbury sits on the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC) and the
Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District.
Jim Walker sits on the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District and the Newport
Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District.
Ali Zadeh sits on the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District and the Newport
Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District.
Sheri Drewry sits on the Marine Avenue Business Improvement District and the
Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District.
John Robinson sits on the Marine Avenue Business Improvement District and the
Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District.
It should be noted that the Balboa Village Business Improvement District and the Marine
Avenue Business Improvement District are proposed to be disestablished.
Pursuant to City Council Policy A -2, the City Council has the ability, by majority vote, to
waive the restriction that limits service to one Board, Commission or Committee.
Alternatively, the City Council may require the appointees listed in this staff report to
select a single Board, Commission or Committee. In which case, the appointees would
vacate their positions on the other Board, Commission or Committee.
' Appointments to the Business Improvement District (BID) advisory boards are made by the City Council
pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code rather than City Council Policy A -2. However, for
purposes of this item, staff has included the BID appointments as well to give the City Council a complete
picture of an appointee's service to the City.
