CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT Date: To: From: By: Subject: February 22, 1999 John Jermanis, City Manager Steve Emslie, Development Services Director Oliver Jerschow, Planning Intern APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Q Jo . Jermanis In O Manager General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) Appointments SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION City Council has directed the formation of a General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) to ensure that a full cross-section of the community will be represented in the planning and decision -making process. Members of the GPAC will study issues, evaluate alternatives and recommend policies to the Planning Commission and City Council. Having solicited applications for the GPAC, and having carefully reviewed all of the applications received, the Ad Hoc Committee has identified the people who should serve on the GPAC. With these individuals, the GPAC will be representative of San Leandro and will provide invaluable assistance in guiding the General Plan update. The Ad Hoc Committee recommends that City Council move to approve the attached list of 45 individuals and to formally appoint them to serve on the General Plan Advisory Committee. Each member of City Council will also be able to appoint one additional person to serve on the GPAC; therefore, the GPAC will have 52 members. BACKGROUND It is essential that the General Plan reflect the goals and visions of the different people who live and work in San Leandro. Cities can use a variety of techniques to gather public input in the planning process. A commonly used method, and one which San Leandro is pursuing, is to use a General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC). These committees are made up of a diverse group of residents who study issues, evaluate alternatives, and make recommendations throughout the development of a General Plan. 63
