BACKGROUND
At the January 21, 2015 regular meeting, Mayor Doyle announced the current and pending
vacancies on Town boards, commissions and committees in the coming year. Pursuant to Town
Council Resolution No. 16- 2007 ( Appointments Procedure), the Town Clerk published a Notice
of Current & Pending Vacancies on Boards & Commissions in the Ark, and posted it Town Hall
and the Belvedere -Tiburon Library. This notice serves to inform the public of current or pending
vacancies and invites applications for the positions.
The Town Clerk also recently published a notice of pending vacancy for a Town representative to
the Library Agency Board of Trustees, as well as a notice of two vacancies on the Heritage &
Arts Commission.
The incumbent Library trustee, Tom Gram, is eligible for another term under the Library Agency
by- laws and he has informed the Town of his interest in being considered for reappointment. No
other applicants have stepped forward to be considered for this position.
The two vacancies on Heritage & Arts are a result of the resignations of Commissioners Patti
Pickett and Phillip Ramirez. The Town has received one application, from Victoria Fong. The
Town Clerk will schedule a date for the Council to interview her at a future meeting. Staff also
contacted one of the previous applicants for the commission who was interviewed by Council in
2014, to inform them of the current vacancy. Staff has received a positive response of interest,
but no formal letter as yet. The Council has the option, or can decline, to re -interview any
previous applicant.
