Date: August 10, 2026 Facts 1. The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee adopted the following goals for the 2026-27 term:  Goal 1: Participate in the development of the Citywide Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan;  Goal 2: Participate in strengthening recreation services and parks operation through recommendations for expansion of senior center programs, services, and events; and  Goal 3: Participate in the planning of the future of Library Services and Facilities. 2. The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee Bylaws allow for the establishment of subcommittees and assignment of liaisons to further the Committee’s goals. 3. Subcommittee meetings can be called at short notice. City staff is available to support and assist the subcommittees. 4. The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee also assigns liaisons to monitor city issues and programs. These liaisons represent the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee by providing a voice for seniors on matters before the City. They keep the Committee informed by reporting on developments, discussions, and recommendations related to their assigned areas. 5. A Committeemember can be on more than one subcommittee and can also be a liaison while being on a subcommittee. Options 1. Take no action; 2. Designate liaisons to each of the initiatives identified in Goal 1 and Goal 3 and establish a subcommittee for Goal 2. 3. Provide alternative direction to staff. Analysis and Conclusions The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee's Bylaws allow for the use of subcommittees and liaisons to advance its goals. Applying this structure to the Committee's three goals for the 2026–27 term, staff recommend the following approach:  For Goal 1 and Goal 3, assign a minimum of two liaisons to participate in the development of the Citywide Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan and to assign a minimum of two liaisons to participate in the Future of Library Services and Facilities Plan. Liaisons will represent the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee by attending public meetings on the topic and report back to the Committee about what transpired at the meetings. Senior Citizen Advisory Committee Agenda August 10, 2026 Page 8 of 17   For Goal 2, establish a Recreation Services subcommittee strengthening recreation services and parks operation through recommendations for expansion of senior center programs, services, and events. Recommendation (Option 2) Designate liaisons to each of the initiatives identified in Goal 1 and Goal 3, and establish a subcommittee for Goal 2. Attachments 1.

Such a government requires that: ► Public officials comply with both the letter and spirit of the laws and policies affecting operations of the government; ► Public officials be independent, impartial, and fair in their judgment and actions; ► Public office be used for the public good, not for personal gain; and ► Public deliberations and processes be conducted openly, unless legally confidential, in an atmosphere of respect and civility. To this end, the Paso Robles City Council has adopted this Code of Ethics to encourage public confidence in the integrity of local government and its operation. PUBLIC INTEREST Advisory Body and Commission Members will work for the common good of the people of Paso Robles and not for any private or personal interest, and they will endeavor to treat all persons, claims, and transactions in a fair and equitable manner. Advisory Body and Commission Members shall comply with the laws of the nation, the State of California, and the City in the performance of their public duties.

Advisory Body and Commission Members shall perform their duties in accordance with the processes and rules of order established by the City Council.

Advisory Body and Commission Members shall base their decisions on the merits and substance of the matter at hand. Advisory Body and Commission Members shall publicly share substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration that they may have received from sources outside of the public decision- making process. Senior Citizen Advisory Committee Agenda August 10, 2026 Page 16 of 17  Attachment 1 CONFLICT OF INTEREST 1 Advisory Body and Commission Members shall not use their official positions to influence government decisions in which they have a financial interest, or where they have an organizational responsibility or personal relationship that would present a conflict of interest under applicable State law. In accordance with the law, members shall timely file with the City Clerk a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) and, if they have a conflict of interest regarding a particular decision, refrain from participating in that decision, unless otherwise permitted by law. 2 Advisory Body and Commission Members shall participate biennially in Ethics Training seminars as required by state law. Advisory Body and Commission Members shall not take advantage of services or opportunities for personal gain, by virtue of their public office, which are not available to the public in general.

They shall neither disclose confidential information without proper legal authorization, nor use such information to advance their personal, financial, or other private interests.
