To: Honorable Chair and Commission Members From: Lisette Free, City Manager Prepared By: Bill Wilkman, Consultant Department: Administration SUBJECT: Appointment of Representative to Attend Navy Stakeholder Meetings RECOMMENDATION: Appoint one Commissioner to attend the Quarterly Navy Stakeholders Meetings. SUMMARY: It would be beneficial to have a member of the Historic Preservation and Agricultural Heritage Commission (HPAHC) attend the Navy Stakeholder meetings to provide early input on proposed projects affecting the Norconian property. BACKGROUND: Several years ago, the HPAHC designated one Commissioner to attend the Navy’s quarterly Stakeholders meetings. This practice was discontinued by the Commission due to a lack of interest in sending a representative to these meetings. Recently, the Navy expressed concern that it was not receiving early feedback on proposed projects for the Norconian property. Having a Commissioner present at Stakeholder meetings would help provide the Navy with the early input it desires. The Navy would be advised that any comments offered by the attending Commissioner are preliminary only, and that final determinations on any project must be made by the full Commission at the time of the relevant public meeting. Stakeholder meetings take place in the months of March, June, September, and December and typically last about an hour. FISCAL IMPACT: This agenda item will not result in a fiscal impact. RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Page 7 of 8 This agenda item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 5, "Infrastructure and Asset Management."
