In 2005, as recommended by the City Council Airport <br />Committee, the Guidelines were added to the Councilmembers Handbook to formalize the <br />process for citizen appointments to the groups. Pursuant to the Guidelines, the City Council <br />Airport Committee reviews the applications and a subcommittee makes appointment <br />recommendations. <br />On October 15, 2012, the City Council suspended all its internal committees, including the <br />Airport Committee. The Guidelines need to be updated with a new appointment process to fill <br />recently vacated positions. <br />The City Council appoints one of its members to serve as the City's elected representative on <br />the Oakland Airport/Community Noise Management Forum (Noise Forum). The updated <br />Guidelines would reassign the tasks of reviewing applicants and making appointment <br />recommendations to the City's elected representative to the Noise Forum. <br />Analysis <br />The member of the City Council serving on the Noise Forum is familiar with the <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 2111/2015 <br />
