Upland mulls new methods
UPLAND - Two members of the City Council will review the way the council selects members of city commissions and committees.
After some discussion regarding the item on Monday, the council voted to task Councilmen Brendan Brandt and Gino L. Filippi with reviewing the selection process.
"We're going to look at the appointment process for all of the commissions and boards that we have, but some are directed by city code or other laws as to how people are chosen," Brandt said.
The City Council Advisory Committee had proposed a plan to change the way the council selects committee and commission members, which included reducing the Planning Commission to five members from seven.
Each of the five members would be nominated by a council member and then ratified by the whole council.
However, the council voted to keep the Planning Commission at seven members, so now Brandt and Filippi will look into other ways to select the commissioners and other committee members.
Currently, the mayor and a council member interview potential commissioners before recommending them to the council for approval.
