The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does
resolve that the following sections of the California Government
Code are added to its Council Manual appendix:
54970. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that a vast
and largely untapped reservoir of talent exists among the cit-
izenry Ap g
izenry of the State of California, and that rich and varied seg-
ments of this great human resource are , all too frequently, not
aware of the many opportunities which exist to participate in and
serve on local regulatory and advisory boards, commissions and
committees .
(b ) The Legislature further finds and declares that the
general public of this state has traditionally been denied access
to information regarding vacancies which occur on such boards,
commissions , and committees , thereby denying most citizens and
interest groups the opportunity to nominate for consideration by
the respective appointive powers persons whose particular strengths ,
backgrounds , experience, perspective, and talents might contribute
significantly to efficient and representative policy development
and administration in local government .
(c) The Legislature further finds and declares that the
respective local appointive powers have been denied access to a
talent resource hitherto untapped.
(d) The Legislature further finds and declares that all cit-
izens of the state, regardless of their place of residence shall
have equal access to specific and current information about the
many local regulating and advisory boards, commissions and com-
mittees and equal opportunity to be informed of vacancies which
shall occur thereon, so that they may pursue the opportunity to
participate in and contribute to the operations of local govern-
ment by serving on such boards, commissions , and committees .
(e) It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that this
chapter shall apply to all cities and all counties throughout
DP B: ahb 1.
California, including charter cities and charter counties .
54971 . As used in this chapter:
(a) "Legislative body" means the board of supervisors or
its chairman in the case of the county, or the city council or
the mayor in the case of a city.
(b) "Local agency" means a county or city, whether char-
tered or general law.
54972 . On or before December 31 of each year, each legis-
lative body shall prepare an appointments list of all regular and
ongoing boards, commissions , and committees which are appointed
by the legislative body of the local agency. The appointees '
list shall contain the following information:
(a) A list of all appointive terms which will expire during
the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee,
the date of appointment , the date the term expires , and the nec-
essary qualifications for the position.
(b) A list of all boards, commissions , and committees
whose members serve at the pleasure of the legislative body,
and the necessary qualifications for each position.
54973. The appointments list shall be made available to
members of the public for a reasonable fee which shall not ex-
ceed actual cost .
54974. Whenever an unscheduled vacancy occurs in any board,
commission, or committee for which the legislative body has the
appointing power, whether due to resignation, death, termination,
or other causes , a special vacancy notice shall be posted in the
office of the clerk of the local agency, and in other places as
directed by the legislative body within 20 days after the va-
cancy occurs . Final appointment to the board, commission, or
committee shall not be made by the legislative body for at least
10 working days after the posting of the notice in the clerk's
office.

lative body may, if it finds that an emergency exists, fill the
unscheduled vacancy immediately. Persons appointed to fill such
a vacancy shall only serve on an acting basis until the final ap-
pointment is made pursuant to this section.
