MATTERS FROM THE COMMITTEE Commissioner Parks asked with the new administration and the turn over in the Director position, is there a mechanism for the MRC to talk to Councilors and the City Manager to advocate for moving forward. Chair Silva said that is difficult to answer. The best he can say is when things settle down he will have a conversation with the Mayor and share his thoughts. We will continue to do our work. Ms. Venditti said currently, she is the Deputy Director of the MRC. The Director position will be posted. We have told the administration what we need. Brian Moya is the Interim City Manager. There will be a transparent hiring process. Commissioner Gonzalez asked if anyone had contacted the prior Director.
