COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Appointment of Council Member to serve as 'Alternate' Lodi representative on the San Joaquin Council of Governments (COG) MEETING DATE: December 3, 2002 PREPARED BY: City Clerk RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council, by motion action, appoint Council Member Emily Howard to serve as 'Alternate' Lodi representative on the San Joaquin Council of Governments (COG). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On November 20, 2002, Council Member Alan Nakanishi resigned his position as a member of the Lodi City Council effective December 2, 2002, and is therefore unable to serve as an `Alternate' Lodi representative to COG. On December 4, 2002, Mayor Phillip Pennino will conclude his term as a Council Member and will therefore no longer be eligible for service as a 'Delegate' Lodi representative to COG. Several important items are being discussed before the Council of Governments during the next few days. It is important that the City of Lodi continue to be represented at this time. As was discussed at the November 26, 2002 Shirtsleeve Session, it is recommended that the City Council appoint Council Member Howard as an Alternate representative. FUNDING: SJM/JLT None required.
